It’s even worse than we thought. Which suggests that instead of being addressed and excised, the convergence of the corporation is going to metastasize rapidly in the future:
[Paul Anderson] and his wife founded the Paul Anderson Youth Home (PAYH) in Vidalia, Georgia, in 1961 on 50 acres of donated land. To raise money for this fledgling shelter, Anderson went on a well-publicized bike ride from Vidalia to Omaha, Nebraska. One of his first stops was at a restaurant outside Atlanta called the Dwarf House, run by a young restaurateur Truett Cathy. Inspired by Anderson’s vision, Truett Cathy made the first donation to get the ministry off the ground and then served on the PAYH board for many years after that.
In the PAYH, no more than 20 young men between the ages of 16 and 21 are in residence at any one time, most of them bringing drug and alcohol problems with them. These young men stay for an average of 18 months, by the end of which 90{9e3cc6efba2772ec4baea1bab04f128dca417f6a4bee9ae9ff5738eda93b0785} of them become drug-and-incarceration-free and finish high school. Many go on to college…. One of the annual fundraisers still to this day is a 500-mile bike ride to commemorate the ride on which Paul Anderson met Truett Cathy for the first time. Truett Cathy was part of the Paul Anderson Youth Home almost from day one. In 1999, the Truett Cathy Office Complex was built in his honor.
Dan Cathy just recently dumped the Paul Anderson Youth Home as a Chick-fil-A recipient, throwing his father’s legacy under the train in favor of Covenant House. Covenant House is a Christian-in-name-only outfit that celebrates homosexuality, lesbianism, and transgenderism with the vulnerable youth who seek shelter there, and seeks to convince them that such sexual deviancy is perfectly normal.
It’s not just the convergence and the cuckery, the fact that Dan Cathy is, at the very least, permitting the literal dishonoring of his father’s memory is an indicator that the rot has not merely entered the organization, but has set in at the very top.
The lesson is this: choose your successors carefully.
