Well, I cannot boycott Cracker Barrel since I haven't ate there in years. “Southern” style restaurant that doesn't have a clue as to how to cook grits just don't cut it.

It says they removed selected suck products that might offend some people, but they continue to carry Duck Commando merchandise.

What offensive stuff were they selling?

And don’t forget...years ago there was that lawsuit saying they don’t hire gays. I suspect that’s part of the reason why they’re bending over backwards now.

I meant DUCK not suck. That was not intentional.

> What happens is the left MASTERFULLY changes the language. Until conservatives understand how to fight this correctly it will continue to get worse, where others opinions are looked upon as something other than an opinion.

I have noticed the most potent kriptonite when dealing with liberals - the TRUTH. When you dissect many of these types of situations and stories of how they cameabout and start putting names to them with their backgrounds and past history, their true agendas are revealed. And they don’t like it and quickly scamper back out of the light.

Sounds like a perfectly fine little brown-shirt to me (”Oh, it was only the stuff with Phil’s picture on it...we kept all the rest of the Duck Dynasty stuff on display...”)

Son, at the moment your boss told you to remove the items, it was time to grow up/wake up, look your boss directly in the eye and tell them that you are not going to go along with those who violate the constitutional rights of others. I’m afraid you just sold a little piece of your soul.

That’s not over-reacting, that’s what this is all about!

I’ll side with the man on the right that always humbles himself before GOD... the one on the left wears a one piece footie with a quick access flap in the REAR... just for his boyfriend.

My email
To whom it may concern,
Someone in your corporate office has rocks in their heads...

Nice move pulling anything with Phil Robertson face on their merchandise...

You just managed to made mad the people (customers) who built your organization...

Bending over to appease 2 % of the population....shameful and gutless...

Too bad you don’t need my business, there are many other locations in my area of Florida that serve a decent breakfast...

Your company has seen the LAST of the money I spend in your stores...

Grow a spine...

So, it seems to me that a business that has a majority of religious, southern families would not want to do that. They haven’t given a reason. Are they pulling the A&E merchandise or the Duck Commander merchandise with Phil’s likeness? If it’s the A&E products, good on them. They should clarify. I don’t want A&E getting any money.

> Hope they can survive on that 2 % of the population they are trying to appease.
It’s more like 1.5%.

I’ve removed A&E from my Uverse channel selections, and am now going to stay away from Cracker Barrel.

Will this ever end?

Yep but only once our gay president is removed or gone. The gay population is just lobbing flaming maltov cock tails at us from behind 0’s coattails.

I hope the faggots that run A&E can get together with the homo’s that run Cracker’s Go Home and have a nice circle < expletive deleted >.

There's a Cracker Barrel not far from my house.....I'm going over today and see for myself....and talk to the manager.

And then I'm telling all my friends who frequent Cracker Barrel what they have done.

Seriously, Cracker Barrel, do you really think most gays eat at your place?...No, it's the down home folks....similar & like minded as the Robertsons ....who keep you financially solvent.

I was at a small Christmas party last night...and I brought up the Duck Dynasty discussion and found tons of support!!

We continually evaluate the products we offer and will continue to do so.

I also will continue to evaluate which restaurant I select out of the many hundreds available to me each time I take the decision to eat out.
