S. Truett Cathy, the billionaire founder of the privately held Chick-fil-A restaurant chain, died early Monday morning. He was 93.
Under the religiously conservative founder, the chain gained prominence for its Bible Belt observance of Sunday — none of its hundreds of restaurants are open on that day, to allow employees a day of rest. Its executives often said the chain made as much money in six days as its competitors do in seven.
Those religious views helped win Cathy and his family loyal following from conservative customers, but also invited protests when Cathy's son denounced gay marriage.
Cathy's son, Dan, who is currently chairman and president of the chain, had told the Baptist Press in 2012 that the company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." Gay rights groups and others called for boycotts and kiss-ins at Cathy's restaurants. The Jim Henson Co. pulled its Muppet toys from kids' meals, while politicians in Boston and Chicago told the chain it is not welcome there. The controversy later subsided.
It is too bad that a man that the business that this man worked so hard to create is now synonymous with homophobia. Though considering the crowd that he pandered to, I guess it was not entirely unpredictable.
They did not say exactly what killed the 93 year old, so it could simply have been old age.
I mean unless there was some outside influence on his health, you know like a nasty infection or possibly a curse, but I could not imagine what that might have been.
Can you?
Speaking of hens coming to roost, someone might find some interesting seeds to peck at out in the Valley. It seems like the oldest female chick of your favorite old clucker got a little out of control at a big hoedown out thar this weekend. Seems fists flew, but this birdie heard that mama clucker managed to keep the little clucker out of cuffs. Alcohol and chix don't mix. Isn't the little clucker supposed to be bright-eyed and bushy tailed for a closed-door court hearing today?
ReplyDeletePlease enlighten us further. Thanks
DeleteValley trash.
DeleteWhy do you in the valley LET mama keep her kids out of the clink?
Now that's a video I WOULD watch. And the feathers flew.
DeleteVery interesting. One day maybe mama will have no influence. She is a nobody and her kids will never grow up and straighten out until she stops enabling them. It's one dysfunctional family.
DeleteHahaha!
DeleteNo wonder Mama Clucker forgot to wish her ex-husband a timely Happy Birthday!
Please tell us more!
Those brown spots look like melanoma, skin cancer.
ReplyDeleteCould be the Sarah Palin Curse.
DeleteIn his 90s, it could be anything.
DeleteGrpyhen is a sincerely stupid man and blackhearted individual. I mean, What other kind of person lies about people the way he does, and defends liars like he does
10:35 Hmmm, What kind of person lies about people the way YOU do and defends liars like YOU do? Your kind!
DeleteYou keep trying to defend one of the biggest liars on this earth and fail miserably every single time. And you so love to call others immature?
@10:35 No matter what Gryphen writes, he is lying? How immature and narrow minded are you? Everything that everybody writes here is a lie? So far, I have only seen evidence of one disturbed individual. Guess who.
Delete>>What other kind of person lies about people the way he does, and defends liars like he does
DeleteHmmm, seems you're a little confused. Seems you're describing exactly what SARAH does on a daily basis. Gryphen, on the other hand, is committed to finding the truth and reporting it. He has tons of sources and resources to get behind the Palin myths and lies and busts her and the klan regularly, and that's why we love his blog and his writing. YOU may need to get some help for that confusion, it's not very attractive.
9:40 The spots are more likely keratosis. Common scourge in the aging process and especially so in those who were exposed to a lot of sun. They're fixable at the dermatologist's office. If they were melanoma, doubt he would have made it to his 90s.
DeleteAnonymous10:35 AM
DeleteTo answer you question: "what other kind of person lies about people the way he does, and defends liars like he does." Sarah is unbeatable when it comes to lying and stealing money from people while doing it. She & KLAN ARE the biggest liars and no one can compare such lying pieces of you know what to them.
I heard Britta wants her hush money increased.
ReplyDeleteDetails?
DeleteI bet a lot of teachers over the years called him Cathy Truett, causing titters and guffaws from his little classmates. Probably scarred him for life.
ReplyDeleteI bet you're in 6th grade aren't you?
DeleteI bet you never went to school, did you? It shows.
DeleteOMG the psychotic obsessive disturbed juvenile troll is back. You are a bully bitch!!
DeleteSpeaking of bigoted, homophobic assholes...

The owner, nor Sarah Palin, is a bigot or homophobic
DeleteI'll take that bet!
Delete10:32 Read, re-read or have someone explain to you the meaning of the fourth paragraph in the news release. This, from the son of the deceased who now runs the family bidness.
DeleteAs for Palin, there exists too much evidence to the contrary to support your weak tea whine.
S. Truett Cathy, the billionaire founder of the privately held Chick-fil-A restaurant chain, died ? ? ?
ReplyDeleteHas the Coroner determined that S Cathy died from contracting the Sarah Palin Curse?
Gryphen, immature since 2009.
ReplyDeleteSo that means that before 2009, Gryphen was mature?
Deletelol! But your little bullying comments are sooooo mature???? Hypocrite. Mentally ill.
Deletehttp://tinyurl.com/7h2s8w8
DeleteIt's a shame how closedminded and judgmental Gryphen, who's a liberal, is.
ReplyDeleteHypocrite! Judging people for being judgmental. You ain't all there are you? Do you know Gryph? Spent a lot of time with him have you? No? Then how can you possibly judge someone that you don't even know, have never met, and never will?
Deletego fuk yerself barstool
Delete@10:32 It might help if you learn to write complete sentences in English. No one can understand what you are trying to say when you make a mess of your words.
DeleteYeah, Sarah and Cathy aren't homophobes, but they do make a cute couple of racists!
DeleteBye bye to old garbage.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a pic of Uncle Fester.
DeleteDid Sarah or Bristol Palin attend Joan Rivers funeral? Did they say anything?
ReplyDeleteHoward Stern spoke.
It was by invitation only. Cathy Griffin, Ellen and Portia,were along with Trump. I guess she didn't invite Sarah because her wig would clash with Trump's toupee'.
DeleteOT. Gryphen have yuo heard about Track going for PTSD aka drug rehab.
ReplyDeletehttp://us4palin.com/christ-heals/
Throw up....sorry I looked at that site.
DeleteGryphen you got copies of Track's military record when he first said he was out. Palin has claimed that he has been deployed after that. If you get a new copy of his record to see if any of that is true and to see if his records show him getting kicked out for drugs that shes now calling PTSD.
DeletePlease pass the eyebleach. Christ heals better than pills or counselling? Coming from Sarah, that's the biggest oxymoron ever. Tracks PTSD didn't come from being a combat vet, it was from seeing Sarah jog nekkid on a treadmill.
DeleteSarah take a good look at that spotted penis head. That's what you're going to look like in a few years.
ReplyDeleteCalling Beldar for Troll duties..calling Beldar, please report for Trolling duties..
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I can't stand the old troll anymore.
Never could stand the troll.
DeleteGryphen, as you know, Beldar J Conehead is the exclusive troll of the Immoral Minority blog (which nobody reads). It's not just a good idea; it's the law!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, here's some sad shit that trolls say:
IM commenters
- are haters, nasty, suckers, illiterate, bad, a waste of space, layabouts, immature, bored, dumb, seriously disturbed, pieces of filth, rolling in ignorance, classless, ignorant, jealous, mean, unhappy, liars, slanderers, pathetic, losers, liberal...
- don't know her, minimize people, demean people, attack people with no real problems, spread false myths on blogs out of hate, sound stupid, need a mental purge, don't have lives...
- should get lives, grow up, shut up, go away...
"She", (who must not be named),
- is nice, down to earth, far from the worst, close, warm, owns your lives, real, not seedy, functioning, well adjusted, valley trash, caring, gracious, employed, generous, busy, sweet, non-judgmental, sunshine on a gloomy day, the best mom, treats staff well, gives encouragement, hard working, private, inteelajunt, living vibrantly, happy...
"Gryphen"
- is probably not even his real name, delusional, victimizing since 2009, matters not, writes in ignorance with hateful creativity, close-minded, not a psychologist..
- doesn't live in reality, doesn't know her, doesnt know any of the people who actually KNOW her, tries to ruin people, is criminal, not a great father, a lying putz, judgmental, just ignorant, revels in ignorance, knows nothing
I feel sorry for you. smh
Remember, Beldar Trolls So You Don't Have To!
Accept no Substitute!
"Gryphen"
Delete- is probably not even his real name
Funniest line ever!
Beldar! Your wit and writing style continue to impress!
DeleteNice to know also that you are a manly man. I continue to dream of meeting you.
Thanks for trolling.
When you get Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson and babbling, bobble-headed train wreck Sarah Palin on camera together, it is almost certain that the conversation will be filled with more verbal diarrhea than if Palin had been the recipient of Derby’s Dose on taco night.
ReplyDeleteOn Labor Day Weekend, the Duck dynasty crew joined Bible Spice for a very special cookout — and Palin was dumb enough to record evidence of the monumental collision of two stupid fronts.
Watch this moronic display, below — and try not to laugh too hard as you watch both Palin and Robertson pass out while the other is talking:

I worked with a nephew of Truett Cathy. He had the opportunity to go to work in their corporate offices in a nice position. Only problem was that he had to be a practicing born again Christian. He said thanks, but no thanks. He was not very complimentary of this man. And yeah, he was successful in spite of his lack of religion.
ReplyDeleteBarack Obama is head and shoulders above anything Ronnie Raygun said, did or thought. Period. He will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents ever and I voted for him twice! I'd do it again in a heartbeat and FUCK the media for not giving him his due.
ReplyDeletePoor Sarah, no wonder she wears a wig. I bet her head looks just like that old man...I mean her hands & chest have the same age or liver spots. AND...the poor woman looks like Sh*t in that chick-fil-a photo as well...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDelete@1153.
ReplyDeleteYep, sounds about right. Thanks for posting.
Ding.....dong
ReplyDeleteThe man built a multi million dollar chicken empire, and all he'll be remembered for, forever, is his black heart, racism and bigotry, That's what Sarah looks like without make up, concealer, wigs, and herpecin lip balm while wearing a fat suit.
ReplyDeleteYou gays getting butt hurt just because the man was a devout Christian who didn't agree with you homosexuality.
ReplyDeleteHuh?? Your sentences make no sense. Are you wasted, illiterate or both?
Deleteinbred cousin humper,
Deleteeducation much ?
