Came to their senses
She may have not have made the decision to remove DD items from the shelve. It could have been some underling. She more than likely is the one who corrected the mistake. JMHO
A link, not ‘my’ link.
Good post. I think I’d get along with you.
You know, the gays and all have done this same thing to us of course and they have used boycott and discredit of establishments to their advantage. They have left ruin in their wake to anyone who would not bow to their demands.
It is time for us to do the same and make some examples. Shuttered CBs wouldn’t hurt my feelings one bit.
Be sure to refer to them as filthy boy-molesters.
I sent but didn’t do that but I should have.
Have you seen their new menu? They made that decision months ago to please the Michelle Obama ninnies. Horrible business decision. Their corporate decision makers are idiots. This Duck Dynasty knee jerk pulling of merchandise is only the latest example.
How about a million man Duck Call march on A&E headquarters blaring away?

No, it’s not 98.5 percent, but 100 percent! A book some twenty years ago ‘’The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS’’ by Michael Fumento explains this, but is has been largely banned by the American people, who cannot take the truth even on this.
Whatever. Suit yourself. I only go there with a very disabled friend, and they are kind and accommodating to her when we go to her local one. She is very apolitical, and enjoys the place. So I’ll go back if she wants to go.
Sadly though the Carolinians and Tennesseeans who feel this way about Duck Dynasty will still be on board with Lamar! and Lindsey! They are too uninformed to change.
Fudimo, this is your opinion and you are welcome to it. You may be right. The response has been weak and does not stand on any principle but getting customers and revenue back. If she corrected the position she did a poor job of that too. If her underlings have done this she should discharge them if only because they made an extremely poor business decision and demonstrate that they are not trustworthy with the fate of a company with a market cap of $2.29bil and whose shares have delivered an impressive 32 year compounded annual growth rate of 18%
Rosettozero is correct this is about much more than DD, CB, or A&E. To me, JMHO, it is about Liberty and principles. You and I and Mike Wallace and Mike Huckaby can debate all day about the way Robertson said what he said or if it is right but he has the right to say it. He does have the right to say it but I think the way he said it is crude. A&E also has the right to cancel him, CB has the right to pull him off the shelves and I have the right to disagree with all the actions that go against my principles and to stand up FOR my principles. That to me is the issue. I’m standing up for my principles. One is that I will not be bullied about by a screaming minority who not only demands that I accept their point of view but that I endorse it and like it. Every tub has to set on its own bottom and face judgement. I feel like I will be judged harshly for acceptance and assuredly for endorsement or liking a position that my God has said is reprehensible.
To return to CB without them taking considerable action to demonstrate their remorse and to affirm their principles would be to violate my own. I will not do that.
Principles... pick them well and be willing to go to your grave for them and with them. Anything that does not meet that test is not a principle for me but instead merely a preference that is negotiable.
And you as well.

Thanks for your insight r.e. teflon. I’m getting rid of my Calphalon and my George Foreman grill and replacing them with iron and ceramic.
Cracker Barrel Family? Really? No, thanks, I have a real family, idiots.
For the record, I hate Cracker Barrel. Too dang noisy in there.
Where is their iron cookware made?
When I visit in the South I take a cooler of fruits and vegetables with me. I love Southern cooking, but it doesn’t love me. I end up wearing it around my middle for months afterwards.
I wasn’t even aware of this facet of the brouhaha.
I wondered at first if they had wished to deny A&E more profits. (Most of those for Duck Dynasty goes to A&E and not to the Robertson fellows.) But no it wasn’t that. It was the “gay stink.”
HOOOO boy. I’d say let Duck Dynasty be, continue business as normal until the Robertsons and A&E get the affair straightened out. I’m thinking that a full kiss and make up between the Robertsons and A&E might be as simple as the Robertsons chipping into an HIV fund.
