R.I.P.
Carl at God's Big Drive Thru

Carl N. Karcher, founder of the Carl's Jr. hamburger chain, has died. When TMZ went for lunch today, we were given the below obit. "Here's your burger and our boss died. Enjoy your meal!"

Let's hope he springs for more than a $6 casket.

107. To 83,


I think even you have to admit that comparing the Bible to Harry Potter books is a little ridiculous! LOL! The Bible has been around a couple thousand years. It has been under attack all that time from people like you and still it survives. There were plenty of people around when it was written who hated Jesus and Christianity and would have loved nothing better than to see it destroyed, or at the least discredited, and they still couldn't do it. Every once in a while you hear of an archeological discovery that proves something that has been shown in the Bible for thousands of years. The proof goes on and on.

108. It's obvious he didn't eat the burgers because he lived a long time.

110. 13. Hallelujah,
Praise The Lord,Ring The Bell and Release The Doves.

[This man was an avowed anti-gay and for all his claims of faith and religion, he disobeyed the tenets of the faith and religion in his oft-stated hatred of gays. May he in his "eternal reward" come to know the onconditional love his so-called faith and religion have always required. Shame on his life and best wishes for the afterlif.]

111. I grew up in Newport Beach, CA and went to grade school with Carl's grandkids. He went to the same church as i grew up going to, I can remember him passing out coupons for free food to all us kids, he seemed very nice.
I dont understand how any of you a-holes can speak nasty about a self made good man. Anti-gay? WTF? He was catholic and religious and maybe he had his opinions, but SO WHAT? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if he didnt like gay people well then oh well..get over it and stop disrespecting the dead!!

112. This is the same homophobic Carl that was putting up big money to keep the gay's down in the late 70's. One less homophobe is fine with me. I still won't eat at Carls Jr. I could give a sh_t if the old goat RIP.

113. Carl Karcher was a GREAT man. He touched Many lives. He had plenty of Gay people working for him and he treated them with Respect as he did anyone. He believed in this country and He was Catholic.
So what does the Catholic Church believe about Gays and other things?

One thing for sure, Many of us are tired of the Gay stuff. I am sick of you militant gays whining about your "rights". Please.... Grow up and just live your life and do something with it.

Most people want you to be a "person first" I don't care if you like it in your a-- all day and night. I don't want to know about it. Be you. Be the Wonderful person you can be. I hope most of of can contribute to the thousands of people Carl Karcher did.

I did not even mention the FACT that my gay friends hate gays too. Tired of the stereo type gays Cr-p. All of are.

Again Be you, Choose your Atheist religion and spew it for on everyone just like all the other religions do.

Carl Karcher, Thank you for all you have done, we could only hope to accomplish as much and live to be 90.

Rest in Peace

114. Like all of us, Carl Karcher was a sinner. But he was a decent, caring, good man who built a wonderful business from the ground up. He should be admired for his hard work and perseverance. Instead, he has been villified here by people spewing hatred of him, hatred of God, and hatred of anyone who doesn't practice their particular brand of "group think" . How sad for them!
