Occupy Wall Street vs Chick-Fil-A * * * * * * I like Chick-Fil-A better . . . . at least you get something to eat!

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

Is this Chick-Fil-A phenomenon a sign of something politically BIG or does it have more to do with the BIBLE and common dreams?

• Americans have turned out all over the country today to stand in support of Chick-Fil-A. A minor controversy broke out weeks ago when the chicken fast-food chain's CEO, Dan Cathy, made public comments to a reporter about his financial donations to pro-family groups.

  In response, liberal lawmakers around the country expressed outrage. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino declared that Chick-Fil-A wasn't welcome in his town, and both Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a local Chicago Alderman said they'd work to block any proposed restaurants being built in their jurisdiction despite the obvious violation of the First Amendment that implies.

  Menino and Emanuel backed off their stances, but former Arkansas Gov. and Fox News host Mike Huckabee thought that pro-family Americans should stand in solidarity with Chick-Fil-A and declared that August 1 would be "Chick-Fil-A day."

  Reports have flowed in throughout the country of massive lines for the chicken chain. Here are just a few of the photos.

  Now, Chick-Fil-A is usually a busy restaurant, and they do just fine on their own. However, this is a pretty shocking display driven by a few leading pundits and a fairly large grassroots movement. How about you, Townhall readers? Any similar experiences today?

  `It seems to me that there are (millions) of like minded people out there just chomping at the bit to get involved with getting this country back on track.

  All it takes (obviously) is the right trigger mechanism to motivate these (millions) of people to react.

  Years ago in politics a clever politician offered "a chicken in every pot" . . . . . maybe it's time for another "Chicken Offer" to get this country movin!
