Chick-fil-A vs Gay Marriage: Ruffled Feathers Net Bucks for the Cluck

A Los Angeles-area "tea partier" offers salty commentary on Friday's scheduled "National Same-Sex Kiss Day" post Wednesday's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day". Have fun with the barnyard references.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To duck Chick-fil-A. Why did gay activists bash the chicken? To pluck Chick-fil-A.
Friday is "National Same-Sex Kiss Day at Chick-fil-A", a nationwide protest by gay activists to counter Wednesday's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day". All the cackling is about gay marriage or free speech. Feathers are flying like there is a fox in the hen house.
Either way, Chick-fil-A is having a Bantam week.
Mike Huckabee, lit the flame for "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day", during his interview on Fox News Channel with Dan Cathy, president of the restaurant chain, who was skewed to the BBQ spit from gay rights folks for stating his support of biblical, traditional marriage and Christian organizations that promote it. The liberal media's "Banty roosters"--the small cocks that crow loud--cried foul. Reporters, bloggers and newscasts spit out words of gay-bashing bigotry like flies on "cow patties." They tossed the First Amendment into the dirt and went scratching for it like hens on a sow bug. Our group of "tea partiers" got up at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to gobble some fried chicken and biscuits and to wave American flags and posters in front of the only Chick-fil-A joint in the San Fernando Valley, a bedroom community just north of Los Angeles. The TV hawks came out to scramble us, but we helped our Chick-fil-A crack a few shells and put all our eggs in one basket: the First Amendment. We planted ourselves for one man's right in America to cluck or crow his beliefs without getting fried for it; especially from the mayors of San Francisco, Boston and Chicago, who give chicken feed a bad name. The eggheads at Chick-fil-A's headquarters in Atlanta counted the chickens after Wednesday's "appreciation day" and crowed about it. Steve Robinson, executive vice president of marketing wrote, "We are very grateful and humbled by the incredible turnout of loyal Chick-fil-A customers on August 1 at Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country. While we don't release exact sales numbers, we can confirm reports that it was a record-setting day." We doubt the hard-boiled gay activists planning the "kiss day" on Friday will report that kind of success even if they rainbow color their beaks at Chick-fil-A. You see, chicks don't have lips.
