You're arguing technicalities...I couldn't care less if CB crashes and burns or not. My point (which you may have overlooked) is that if they choose to deny themselves *and* A&E of revenue (either small or large) based on their bull-butter political stances, why should we get in their way and try to turn them around?
If they are digging themselves deeper, I'll be glad to let them have all the shovels they want. In the meantime, if folks want to support the Robertsons, go straight to their duckcommander.com website and let them enjoy the full benefit of our purchases.

Cracker Barrel is a publicly held corporation. It is the legal responsibility of management to maximize profits for the shareholders within the parameters of the laws governing business. If management is purposefully taking action that reduces revenue and profits it is negligent in its fiscal responsibility and can be sued.
Over the past 50 years the left and its constituent non-profit groups have successfully used lawsuits to further their agenda. Perhaps it is time for conservatives to do the same. An appropriate reaction would be for a conservative lawyer to file a class action suit on behalf of shareholders of A&E’s parent companies (Walt Disney Corporation and Hearst Corporation) against management for deliberately taking action to suppress the revenue and income of the corporation. Similar suits could be filed against Cracker Barrel and any other companies that alienate their customer bases through management action.
In today’s world, the threat of litigation by liberal public interest groups is enough to force corporations to toe the line. Until conservatives begin fighting fire with fire, corporate America will continue to side with those who seek to destroy American culture and values.
I didn’t overlook your point. I focused on it.
BTW, I hope CB crashes and burns too, just like Carbonite did after it betrayed Rush.
