Hot Take: Chick-fil-A Is 'Infiltrating' NYC With Its Christian Values

Did you know Chick-fil-A is infiltrating New York City with its Christian values? The New Yorker sent the warning to its readers Friday. Beware the restaurant's "pervasive Christian traditionalism," says Dan Piepenbring.

Chick-fil-A was once only known for being the birthplace of the Original Chicken Sandwich. But, when its CEO spoke out against gay marriage, it became a target for progressives, who have since called for boycotts of the Christian company.

Piepenberg sensed an "ulterior motive" in the establishment's decor during his lunch stop. The Cows all over the restaurant are "ultimate evangelists." It's all meant to build to his damning conclusion.

Still, there’s something especially distasteful about Chick-fil-A, which has sought to portray itself as better than other fast food: cleaner, gentler, and more ethical, with its poultry slightly healthier than the mystery meat of burgers. Its politics, its décor, and its commercial-evangelical messaging are inflected with this suburban piety.

The piece itself was pretty entertaining, but the reactions were downright hilarious.

It’s a CHICKEN SANDWICH

According to the New Yorker, @ChickfilA is basically on a crusade across America or something? And has also infiltrated NYC with delicious chicken sandwiches & waffle fries.

“Pervasive Christian traditionalism”...I don’t know about the rest of you, but I go there for the waffle fries.

I have never once seen or heard any “pervasive” Christian anything at a @ChickfilA, unless you count polite, friendly employees with good work ethics and decent food.

Of course, the point was also made that if The New Yorker had chosen a different restaurant or a different faith to put on trial, there would be uproar in the media.

Let's compare how much ideological and moral positions are pushed by Chick-fil-a versus by the New York Times.

That's easy -- Chick-fil-A doesn't push any viewpoint, as I know from personal experience. They just serve good food, especially those waffle fries. The New York Slimes offers little else.

The hysteria of leftists like those at the New Yorker are as funny as they are pathetic. To paraphrase Bill Buckley: Leftists pretend to be open to other view points, but are shocked to find out that there are other viewpoints.

Go to Chick-fil-A, get some good food, and quit worrying about the views of the owners.

What they're shocked by is that other viewpoints are allowed at all.

Being from Atlanta, GA, I have eaten at Chick Fil A many times---never once has anyone mentioned any religion to me, and never once have I seen any religious posters on the wall. But they do say merry christmas in December and I love it.

And they ALWAYS provide service with a smile and say, "have a nice day." Now THAT is threatening.
