The Civil Rights Act keeps a local government from doing that. There is no similar act that is specific to supporting a political or ideological movement.
Ignoring Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s history of anti-Semitic remarks, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday welcomed the army of men dispatched to the streets by Farrakhan to stop the violence in Chicago neighborhoods.

I would place Popeyes above Chick fil-A. (I've tried all the others, except Bojangles.)If you mean "good" in terms of healthy for you...by and large you're correct
If you mean "good" as in tasty...that's a matter of opinion. One I dare say a number of people disagree with you on.
Can't speak to some of the West Coast fast food joints that we don't have back here in the east/south. However....compared to the McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger Kings, Arbys, Sonics, Taco Bells, KFC's, Popeye's, BoJangles, Hardees, and Checker's that are in my general area Chick-Fil-A is easily at the top of the heap.

Farrakhan has made more public anti-gay statements than the Chik-fil-A CEO has.

I always find it interesting and humorous that I almost never hear anybody do anything but sing Chick fil-A's praises (food wise) until this issue comes up, then suddenly people... coincidentally of the same general political bent... start proclaiming how bad their food is. Yeah, ok, people, if that makes you feel better.

I'm not a fan of Farrakahn, but what exactly are the Jewish community and Chick Fil-A doing about the violence in Chicago?
Yeah, when is Rahm going to shutdown Popeyes who promote their product stereotypically with a black woman as their spokesperson?
why should they be doing anything about it? what is the mayor and the police force doing about it? what are black community leaders (organizers) doing about it? What are the public schools doing about it?
to think that a fast food company is responsible for curing violence is just foolish.
I like Popeye's better. It's not much better though. Most fast food across the board has gone down in quality.
Maybe not being Christian has something to do with it.
Even if it is grandstanding... which it probably is... is this the type of politician you want? Really?
Having an opinion is one thing. Expressing an opinion is fine. Saying that you would (if given the opportunity) use your opinion to over-rule the overwhelmingly accepted rule-of-law and concept that people are allowed to believe and think independently, and deny an otherwise law-abiding business simply because you disagree with what the business owner THINKS, is quite another.
No wonder we're so screwed up. We've lost any sense of objectivity. In our inner desire to promote what we feel is right, we are willing to be apologists for opposite actions that are actually worse than the actions and/or thoughts that we are opposing. I'm sorry, but these responses (and defending them) is actually more repugnant than the original controversy.
Yeah, since the Jews and Muslims are so lovey dovey together.
Rahm Emanuel is not good for Chicago in my opinion. The economy is already down, he should be supporting business's, especially business's that have a semblence of moral values.:shrug:
I wonder how Rahm will explain it to all the blacks that lose their jobs now after he closes the Chic-fil-a stores.

IMO, Cathy went from being a Christian just stating their opinion to a Falwell/Robertson radical intimating that natural disasters will strike us if gays get married. This is the same crap that was brought up about interracial marriage decades ago. For many people, it's disgusting.
