      <![CDATA[It's the right of Chick Fil A or any other business to state their beliefs, and likewise it's anyone else's right to choose to patronize any business they want.....oh wait it's not our right anymore when our government outlaws Foie Gras, tobacco products, etc and requires individuals to purchase products/services (health care insurance). <br>
<br>
For those who complain about Government controlling women's bodies (abortion rights) why don't they protest the restrictions on products?

<br>
From a business standpoint, there are just certain issues that the general public are so divided on that no mention at all seems the best policy, in my opinion.<br>

      <![CDATA[I only boycott places with shitty food for disrespecting me enough to serve crap at their restaurants.<br>
In 99% of the cases not many people know what causes a restaurant supports, it's only when someone gets on the radio or shows up next to a dead elephant that a wave of fake outrage rolls over the country. People who boycott things should definitely consider boycotting their power company, maybe a gas station or two, facebook, 95% of banks, tyson chicken, Idaho potatoes, etc., etc.

<br>
And I will mention- even if a chef/owner's worldview matches up to mine like peas and carrots, I need them to deliver the goods foodwise if they want my repeat business.

      <![CDATA[I go to restaurants for food, not politics and I eat where they have good food. <br>
<br>
It is a low point for America if a mayor can ban a restaurant because they disagree with his political views.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately there are few groups more fanatical about their views that liberals who favor gay marriage.

      <![CDATA[I don’t think I’ve ever had the thought “some Chick-fil-a would sure be good right now”, but if one of my favorite chefs or local hangouts went all Michelle Bachmann, it would definitely influence my decision to eat there. I am 100% in favor of business owners supporting whatever belief or cause they like and letting the public decide with their dollars.
