Looks Like Progressivism Is A Mental Disorder
By Mitch Berg
New Yorker columnist applies the PC test to the new Chik-Fil-A outlets in New Orc City.
But the mere whiff of Jesus means that New York must cast out Chick-fil-A like a leper, and that those who refuse to do so have succumbed to the blasphemous entreaties of the Midianites. “When a location opened in a Queens mall, in 2016, Mayor Bill de Blasio proposed a boycott. No such controversy greeted the opening of this newest outpost. Chick-fil-A’s success here is a marketing coup. Its expansion raises questions about what we expect from our fast food, and to what extent a corporation can join a community,” Piepenring rants.
And insultingly, Chick-fil-A seeks to build community, using the word in its marketing, he complains. “This emphasis on community, especially in the misguided nod to 9/11, suggests an ulterior motive. The restaurant’s corporate purpose still begins with the words ‘to glorify God,’ and that proselytism thrums below the surface of the Fulton Street restaurant, which has the ersatz homespun ambiance of a megachurch.”
If you want to see proof positive of the irreconcilability of the differences between Blue State “elites” and actual humans, read the whole thing.
But you probably needn’t go that far.

Chik-Fil-A is the only fast food I would consider eating; their spicy seed eater is really good.
Thing is, the only time the place is not packed is Sunday…because it’s closed. And then I can’t get a seat at the dang Waffle House!
Who wants to bet that NYC store doesn’t get vandalized at least once a week? Those “people” are animals.

By Piepenring’s reasoning, then, kosher and halal delis must also be banned from NYC, right?

I stopped reading The New Yorker long ago. Wish I could”dislike” it on Facebook
