Now the fig leaf is gone and the reality is that the Chick-fil-A Foundation is just another corporate leftist charity that lavishes cash on organizations linked to local Democrats and assorted diversity causes

The organization that controls the money is called the Chick-fil-A Foundation, and its executive director is a man named Rodney Bullard. He came to Chick-fil-A  in 2011 with a Washington pedigree and a White House resume, a resume that includes giving money to the Democratic Party as both an Obama and Hillary donor. With the tacit approval of Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy, Rodney Bullard has transformed the company from one involved with charity, to one that is involved with social justice, gender identity, and diversity. Your local Chick-fil-A restaurant may still be, for now, closed on Sunday, but at the corporate level they seem to be open for business 7 days a week.

Chick-fil-A gives huge amounts of money to Democratic and Leftist organizations and gives comparatively small amounts of money to Christian organizations and Christian causes. Chick-fil-A gave $1.7 million to the Westside Future Fund in Atlanta, while at the same time giving a paltry $115,000 to the Salvation Army.  Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Why is Chick-fil-A giving buckets of cash to causes that champion social justice, and scraps and pocket change to Christian organizations who minister with the gospel? Not at Chick-fil-A where they are now more interested in ‘social responsibility’ than the saving message of the gospel of the grace of God.

“SOME PREFER IT GRILLED, OTHERS FANCY THE ORIGINAL,” THE COMPANY TOLD LOYALTY MEMBERS IN AN EMAIL THIS WEEK, ACCORDING TO USA TODAY. “NO MATTER WHICH CHICK-FIL-A SANDWICH YOU LOVE, ORDER YOURS ON NOV. 3 FOR NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY.”

And about being closed on Sunday, you better brace yourself. They recently sent up a trial balloon pretending they ‘were confused’ and ‘didn’t know’ that National Sandwich Day, which they encouraged all Chick-fil-A customers to go out and support, was on a Sunday this year. Yeah, right. They are grooming you for being open on Sunday, prepare for impact. But honestly, I couldn’t care less when they will be open or closed because I will no longer be eating there. I would rather give my business to a company that supported Leftist causes and was honest about it than give it to a pretend Christian company like Chick-fil-A.

The legacy of founder Truett Cathy is being erased at a very rapid rate and being replaced with a politically-correct, social responsibility Democratic world-view. His son and Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy has been lying to all of us for quite some time. Enjoy your fig leaf, Dan.

Chick-fil-A Put an Obama and Hillary Supporter in Charge, and Dumped Christians

FROM FRONTPAGE MAG: Chick-fil-A’s announcement that it was dumping the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which have come under attack by gay activist groups, caught Christian fans of the fast food chain by surprise. It shouldn’t have if they had been paying attention to CFA’s corporate structure.

The donations were coming out of the Chick-fil-A Foundation. The Executive Director of the CFA Foundation is Rodney D. Bullard, a former White House fellow and Assistant US Attorney. Some may have mistaken him for a conservative because he was a fellow in the Bush Administration, but he was an Obama donor, and, more recently, had donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign while at Chick-fil-A.

Like many corporations, Chick-fil-A branded its charitable giving as a form of social responsibility. Bullard became its Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility. Unlike charity, corporate social responsibility is a leftist endeavor to transform corporations into the political arms of radical causes. Like other formerly conservative corporations, Chick-fil-A had made the fundamental error of adopting the language and the infrastructure of its leftist peers. And that made what happened entirely inevitable.

In an interview with Business Insider earlier this year, Bullard emphasized that the Chick-fil-A Foundation had a “higher calling than any political or cultural war.” The foundation boss was preparing the way for the shakeup that was coming in the fall. Even while he claimed that the CFA Foundation had a higher calling than a political or cultural war, he was preparing to accommodate the Left’s cultural war.

Bullard would have been seen as a safe bet. The CFA Foundation and the Christian groups it supported were so entangled that Bullard serves on the Salvation Army’s National Advisory Board and was on the National Board of Trustees of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. But Bullard’s vision was not that of charity, but of corporate social responsibility. And the two things are fundamentally different.
