Hobby Lobby President Will Not Cave to the Liberal Mob

LifeZette: Head of the successful chain of crafting stores explained that no matter what, it’s ‘faith and family’ above fortune.


So many people are disappointed in Chick-fil-A after the company caved or appeared to cave to the liberal mob.

Sure, the outlet is trying to play “damage control” and claim there was no surrender when it withdrew funding from certain organizations it had supported previously.

But to me, there was.

At a time in our history where it’s so important to stand firm and embrace traditional moral values, what Chick-fil-A did was a slap in the face to any advancement of this.

And when you make liberals “celebrate,” as they did in this case, you know you’ve done something terribly wrong, as I see it. MORE

  2. Is it possible to retain hope for HL? Every organization these days caves to perversion and liberalism.

    Even Trump gave in to the pressure and announced something favoring the pervs back in the summer.

  3. It is far more important to please God than to appease the crazies of humanity. God is eternal while humanity is merely a shadow that continues a mere moment. Hobby Lobby will endure with this corporate resolution, while Chick-fil-A will be blowing away with the winds of time.

  4. We don’t have a CfA anywhere around here but when we traveled, we always made it a point to stop in. Not any more. I know us not buying their product will make no appreciable difference to them but it is all we can do. They just became another miscellaneous fast food place.

  5. I have a feeling this Chick-fil-A equal opportunity hire won’t last. Two things CFA has always prided itself on are it’s values and it’s service. Both are going to be missed. Watch for this guy to be silently moved aside then resign.

  10. Boycotting Chick-Fil-A is not a reasonable response IMHO.

    Were any of you out in person protecting their businesses from Antifa libtards blocking traffic and scaring away customers? Let me get a quick count of hands…0,,0,,0,,and the grand total is….ZERO.

    So now you want to kill them because they are preserving their business and protecting their customers. AND you want to claim that you are being Christians at the same time.

    RIGHT. What happened to “love the sinner but hate the sin” and “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”?

    You want people to come back to Jesus and the Bible, yet you behave like Islamic idiots who kill everyone who won’t agree with you. Get real.

    Jesus taught better and you know it.

  13. Mark, you own CFA stock or something? LOL.
    They are donating the the SPLC. THE SPLC. For a long time. They are racists, misogynists and spend millions of dollars a year trashing anyone who isn’t WOKE or Left enough. And yeah, CFA customers (including us here, including myself, who is not a fan of their food) did go out and buycot for CFA dozens of times. And who here was going to go across state lines strapped to fight Anitfa protestors at a moment’s notice? Be real. That’s what the cops and their security is for.

    Don’t be smug. It’s tacky.
    If people want to stop doing business with them, it’s their right. Just like it’s CFA’s right to
    kiss the asses of people who hate them. (they’re still hated by the Left, if you haven’t noticed)

    39

  14. What, no giving money to the vile, racist fascist scumbags at the SPLC?

    Anyone who gives a dime to those filthy people should be shunned like a leper who snuck across the border.

    19

  15. “You want people to come back to Jesus and the Bible, yet you behave like Islamic idiots who kill everyone who won’t agree with you. Get real.”

    That’s a little dramatic, don’t you think? Did anyone here threaten to blow them up? Rape their employees? Cut their heads off?
    Don’t tell me who I should and shouldn’t agree with. And don’t tell me I’m acting islamic because I don’t like their donation practices.
    And don’t use Christianity to tell me I can’t. That’s Islamic.
    CFA IS NOT A CHURCH

  16. @MJA I like many of your points. Particularly about SPLC with whom I am very familiar.

    Sorry if I touched a nerve, which I obviously did, but Chick-Fil-A is getting piled on in my opinion. You can’t make friends if everyone has to be perfect – that’s what the left does – and I see the about face harming the Conservative and Christian cause, not helping it.

    Dramatic, perhaps. But an effective boycott puts a company out of business. That is, in the business world, “blow them up, cut their heads off”.

    You did not answer my quotations regarding Christian behavior, you just said in effect, “shut up I don’t want to hear it”. That’s fine, if that’s your opinion. You get one, as do I.

    I guess the gist of it is: How about a little Christian Charity for Chick-Fil-A? Or is that asking too much of a Christian?

    1

  17. I’m so sick of this phrase being used willy nilly: “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”?

    I don’t donate or associate with people who tell lies about and destroy other innocent people just because of their race, their sex, their party, because they believe in 1 man 1 woman marriage.
    I don’t donate to people whose CEO was sued for calling their black employees niggers, including the mistress he treated like as ‘slave ‘

    So yeah, I’m casting a stone on that. I get em cheap at Home Depot.

    12

  18. Dude, we had Christian charity every time we went to ‘help’ them with buying their food or telling others to eat there. Do you see us going to shut them down right now? How many stores did you see me picketing?
    Have you heard me telling anyone to stop eating there OR ELSE?
    No, you haven’t. But I’ve seen you write that we shouldn’t stop going there because they’ll go bankrupt or whatever. And I have seen you write that I’m not Christian enough for you. You know what?
    You do not get to tell me how to behave. It’s not up to you and your interpretations of Christianity.

    And, I didn’t tell you to shut up. I said don’t be smug.

    14

  19. I’m not too fond of “love the sinner, but hate the sin” either. My brother once said, “I guess we will have to agree to disagree”. That’s another liberal saying that I can’t stand, and I let him know. That was over 5 years ago, he still won’t talk to me.

  21. CFA sold out their principles for a buck.
    Now they’ll have neither.

    That doesn’t call for charity, it calls for tough love.
    In their case, probably going out of business.

    When you backstab the people who supported you, you deserve nothing but contempt. And when you sell your principles for thirty pieces of silver, as they did, you’re going to get what you deserve here and now, as well as hereafter.

    “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliot, Christian missionary and martyr

    “We’d rather sell our souls for a chance at a better quarterly report.” – Chik-fil-A

    I wouldn’t eat their food now if they gave it away for free.
    You can’t buy that kind of loyalty, but you can get it by selling out.
    They did. Now they can live with the consequences of their actions.

  22. This is how I see it.
    I went out of my way to support CfA because watching them rise as a company, which was known for Christian values, despite the left doing everything they could to stop them, showed the left their boycotts wouldn’t work.

    When we discover that we’ve been made fools of by CfA – donating to SPLC and ceasing donations to rightwing orgs is a betrayal of the highest magnitude- I won’t support them any longer with my wallet. I’m not going to picket them, smash windows or run an anti-CfA campaign.
    Once this runs its course in the news, the extent of my activism will be to drive past the restaurant into another restaurant.
    Characterizing that as akin to being Islamist is one of the dumbest comments of the year.
    Sorry.

    37

  25. Speaking of dumbest comments of the year, we should compile a top ten list and have a vote/contest to see who wins. That might take a little work, but I’d be proud to make the top ten. Imagine the prestige of winning.

  28. Mark, where you are going off the rails is your confusion between business and religion. CFA brought all this on themselves by waving their “Christian” credentials in front of everyone early on. They would have been better served if they stuck to their knitting and concentrated on growing their business through increased earnings from selling superior chicken sandwiches.

    Whether one “boycotts” CFA for their shameful about-face on Christain charities, it has nothing at all to do with anyone’s faith. The consumer is free to spend his purchasing dollars on anything he damn well pleases with zero reflection on his spirituality.

  29. i think of the franchise owners of chic and their pride in their work, ethics and service. They will suffer most because of the absolutely stupid actions of corporate. I will eat there if i want to but to be honest the only reason i stopped at one in Denver was because of the Huckabee support. I doubt i would go out of my way to eat at one again. As BFH says, they took Christian support for granted.

    10

  30. Well, keep in mind that it was the ChikFilA FOUNDATION that was handing out the contributions. The BUSINESSES are owned by local families, so the boycott would hurt THEM. The liberal idiots who were hired to manage the Foundation and hand out money can easily be fired with no harm to the franchise holders. I plan to go to my local franchise and let the owner know how I feel. They can put pressure on the Corporation beter than I can. I would love to see the Cathy family step up here and say “Oh, whoops. Our bad. We goofed. We fired the dopes” Not holding my breath, though. If they don’t fix it, however, by reining in the libtards on the Foundation, then I may have to stop shopping there. I only have so much expendable income.

  31. Being a Christian is not the process of attending an organized church group. That is just practicing religion. Being a Christian is being in an active spiritual relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, being forgiven by Him, acknowledging Him always, and obeying His Word which is very much alive to interact with. Being such Christians we are given specific instructions on how to live our lives as followers of Jesus in this world. When those who claim to be Christians, but do not live according to Jesus teachings, they show that they are liars. BFH gives the best advice. What the CEO of CFA needs is a contrite and repentant heart and only God Himself can do that in a person. Preferably, while that person is still living and can determine his eternal destination.

  32. Rich Taylor: CFA didn’t “wave their “Christian” credentials in front of everyone early on.”
    Not only is that absurd, it’s asinine/idiocy.

    The ONLY reason you are even AWARE of CFA’s political stances is because the Leftist trolls discovered their tax returns and publicized them in an effort to smear them, (which failed miserably and made them the #1 FF joynt in the country…but I digress.). Later, in an interview, the owner had the audacity to say it was his belief was that marriage should be reserved to the union of a man and woman. (Can you IMAGINE the nerve of a 90 year old man having an opinion!??

    Please endear us with any example of CFA “Waving their Christian credentials? Aside from a statement they are closed on Sunday (and possibly a proverb on the bottom of a paper-cup)…there aren’t any.
    (PS: A bank is closed on Sunday too. Is that “Waving their Christian credentials”?

  33. Thank you tRuth for your perspective.

    I knew I would start something, and that was the intent. I sincerely thank everyone for their opinions. This is a touchy subject, and I think we handled it well. Feel free to continue, just wanted to say thanks to all.

    Semper Fidelis

  34. I checked all the comments before yours and the word “kill” was not used in any context.

    So where are you getting the idea that we want to kill CFA or its employees? Many mentioned “boycott”, nobody said “kill”.

    So what is your problem now? Sounds to me you have a dislike for Christians.

  35. @Roadcase, not absurd at all, in fact, the owner’s primary mission statement was,” “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for glorifying God in all things, but this is a business, not a church.

    Also, if you go to their website you can find their “Foundation page” where they list all the charities they support. Nobody outed them, they freely promote it. Again, noble work, giving to good causes. But when you wear your piety on your sleeve then publicly do an about-face and stiff those noble “Christian” charities in favor of more “progressive” organizations that at their root are counter to the good works you were doing in the past, then yes, people are going to notice.

  36. The restaurant isn’t just pulling Christian charity to a material degree, but they are now also donating to anti-Christian organizations like the fraudulent SPLC who spread disinformation and lies to increase revenue which they invest in secret offshore accounts in the Caribbean.

  38. @Rich Taylor: From your post: “To have a positive influence on ALL who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.” (I capitalized all)

    You can’t win converts by preaching to the choir. (a metaphor) You have to engage all you come in contact with.

    Look, all I’m saying is that if Conservatives are going to act like Liberals/Communists and beat down anyone who doesn’t tow the line or makes mistakes, instead of engaging them in positive dialog, it’s all over. All we are doing at that point is choosing sides for the big shebang, and I do mean bang.

    Look at the Civil War 1861-65. It took a long time to build up to, but near the end (Lincoln’s election) all that was really happening was people (State’s, Counties, Citizens) were just choosing up sides. That is where I see us RIGHT NOW, choosing up sides.

    I have no problem fighting for our Constitution, literally, but it was designed for that to be the LAST RESORT. Prepare for the worst, work and hope for the best.

    I see the Chick-Fil-A thing as a harbinger of dark times coming. Both sides are out for blood, and we’ll all find it.

  39. @Mark VII Ltd, you say we need to engage in positive dialogue, I agree of course, but I only have 2 ways to dialogue, I either write the company voicing my displeasure or I do not patronize them and try to effectuate the demise of their bottom line.

    And as for, “Both sides are out for blood”, I don’t think that’s true. I understand that I am just one dissatisfied customer and cannot meaningfully impact their quarterly profits. I don’t want them to go out of business and am not out for any blood, but I can control my consumer dollars.

    My hope is that they feel the displeasure of those loyal customers that in the past applauded their beneficence, to have their own Road to Damascus moment and change course. But TBH, once they see for themselves how capricious the mob is, how insatiable they are in their demands and their ability to move goalposts, the error of their ways will be clear to them.

  40. I try not to buy stuff from companies giving money to hate groups. I think though that I will put a $10 bill in a red kettle as the price of a lunch at a fast food. The Salvation Army helps a lot of real people, the SPLC does not. Personally, I think that a corporation giving money to any group is wasting money that should be going to stockholders.

    “You can’t win converts by preaching to the choir. (a metaphor) You have to engage all you come in contact with.”

    Talking to perverts and atheists is a waste of time and energy. I was once an atheist (not a pervert) and would not listen to people I then called bible-thumpers. The change may come to people who have witnessed enough evil and mental sickness and seek a different approach to life.

    Those that want to engage with God have only to find the nearest Bible and read it. And on the internet, there are sites that support ID and creation theology. People do not have to accept the evil that confronts us daily.

    When they get sick of the horrors of the world, they will turn to God.

  43. “like the fraudulent SPLC who spread disinformation and lies to increase revenue which they invest in secret offshore accounts in the Caribbean.” Well they can hardly be secret if you know about it. And if you indeed know about it, then in all probability many others know about it as well. So where’s the secret there?

  44. “Talking to perverts and atheists is a waste of time and energy. I was once an atheist (not a pervert)” Thank you for the clarification in pointing out that you’re not a pervert, and how you manage/budget your time. And heaven forbid that there might be any perverts or atheists on this thread (or any combination thereof, since they’re by no means mutually exclusive), otherwise your comment will prove to have been a waste of time. Curiously, could you please provide a comprehensive definition of “pervert”? And what are your immediate plans, if any, to dispense with all that time you eventually save by avoiding discussions with atheists and perverts, and any subcategories thereof? Skiing in the Alps, perhaps? Disneyland? NASCAR?

  45. “There’s always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. If one person doesn’t get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. There’s always the same amount of good and evil, too. We can’t eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. And when evil moves, some good always goes with it. But we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. All we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. That’s when things get scary. Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.” –TOM ROBBINS

    “And heaven forbid that there might be any perverts or atheists on this thread (or any combination thereof, since they’re by no means mutually exclusive), otherwise your comment will prove to have been a waste of time.”

    Well, I think we now have an atheist, and possibly a pervert, on this site.

    Not necessarily mutually exclusive is right, since atheism often, if not always, leads to perversion.

    “Curiously, could you please provide a comprehensive definition of “pervert”?”

    Do you have a definition of pervert? If you do, why are you asking me for my definition?

    “And what are your immediate plans, if any, to dispense with all that time you eventually save by avoiding discussions with atheists and perverts, and any subcategories thereof? Skiing in the Alps, perhaps? Disneyland? NASCAR?”

    None of that is any business of yours.

    Is this:

There’s always the same amount of good and evil, too. We can’t eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. And when evil moves, some good always goes with it.
