(@chrislerma) August 01, 2012Today is “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” and, boy, is it ever! As Twitchy reported last week, the Left’s attempted boycott of Chick-fil-A has been a huge fail. That failure got even bigger today. Political figures joined in to express their support for free speech.
Had @ChickfilA for breakfast today but my usual order is the #1 combo with slaw and a Coke Zero. Can’t beat it. on.fb.me/fTh27G—

Indeed! Now that is truth to power. With a side of waffle fries!
And freedom. The media can’t hide this; the proof is on the ground and in these inspiring photos.
Kudos, America.
Update:
Even some liberals are supporting Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
But only because “Bible thumpers” might choke to death on their Chick-n-Strips.
Update: Keep the pictures coming, America!

Some insight from an employee on a particularly busy day at work:
Working on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day is an experience I will never forget. I have never seen people wait so long yet leave so happy.—

Update: Rick Warren has spoken with Chick-fil-A president and CEO Dan Cathy, who reports that the chain has set some sort of world record today.
@DanCathy just called me. #ChickFilA has already set a world record today, with 7 more hrs to go in the West. #OutOfChicken—
