Chik-fil-A Rejects the Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA)

Conservative political figures’ calls for “Chick-fil-a Appreciation Day” in 2012 resulted in long lines, such as this one in Wichita, Kansas. The call came on the heels of LGBTQ protests of the company. (Photo: NPR)

Has Chik-fil-A abandoned the Salvation Army and FCA?  The company claims it is merely redirecting its charitable giving.  The media center-left, which includes the heavies and the so-called “fact-checking” sites, have howled that the criticism of the company’s action from the right is gross hyperbole.  For me, I smell a rat … in the company and among our disreputable and tendentious national media.

Snopes.com came to the defense of the company’s decision by saying that Chik-fil-A and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes were just 2 of 80 organizations losing support.  Snopes quoted the company’s announcement in describing their new giving philosophy as one to “deepen its giving to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger.”  Hogwash! What a pile of mush.

How do you think a sellout to the cultural left occurs?  “Deepen” becomes synonymous with “abandon”.  The new foci are favorite hobby horses for the left’s ongoing program of social engineering.  It’s certainly a way to soften the company’s image away from a Bible-based Christianity to a compromised form more compatible with transgendered bathrooms and new forms of nuptials.

Snopes and its media parasites aren’t engaging in “fact-checking” but in “claptrappery”.  They mistake PR fluff for real motive.  The company’s statement has all the earmarks of the ages-old campaign tactic of removing a candidate’s hard edge in order to appeal to a wider public.  In this case, the company avoids the boycotts and the Antifa goons.

Until I hear of anything else, “sellout” appears to be the more accurate word.
