Coast to Coast there were dust bunnies inside Cracker Barrel restaurants today – a Sunday.  The first Sunday since Cracker Barrel corporation did the big stupid.  The company had to respond quickly and urgently.   The restaurants were standing empty with employees standing around.

Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:
When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that’s just what we’ve done.
You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren’t shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings. You flat out told us we were wrong.
We listened. (more…)

Charlie Sheen determines it is his job to represent Hollywood’s position on the Duck Dynasty controversy.    He does an exceptional job of representing the mindset of the Hollywood community.  The chosen platform for broadcast is TwitterPic:

hey Mallard brained
Phil Robertso!
you have offended and hurt so many dear friends of mine,
who DO NOT have the voice or the outreach that I do.
well news flash
shower-dodger,
I will speak loudly and clearly for ALL of them.
so,  just when your desperately sub evolved ass thought the pressure was off,  you are now in the crosshairs of a MaSheen style media 
beat down.
(I’ll try to keep the big words to a minimum as not to confuse you)

Methinks ValJar doth protest too much.  Apparently there is a lot of scrutiny surrounding the abysmal approval ratings for lip-syncing Milli Vanilli Obama.   Scrutiny which leads to band director Valerie Jarrett trying to parse a position as merely an abject observer and not participant in the scheme.   W-h-a-t-e-v-e-r.
WASHINGTON DC – Valerie Jarrett says she has “very specific responsibilities” in the Obama White House and focuses on them, rather than on an all-encompassing portfolio.
“I’m not the shadow chief of staff,” she said, responding to the use of the term by POLITICO’s Ben White at a Morning Money breakfast.
She mentioned her roles in outreach to women and girls, and to the business community and local government officials.
Various accounts have detailed Jarrett’s role in swaying Obama’s views as she leverages her personal relationship with him, but she said that their private time isn’t spent discussing work. “We do compartmentalize,” she said. (more…)

Given the ideological propensity behind the A&E executives this explanation from inside the Robertson family makes a lot of sense of what took place. 
(Daily Mail )  Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson and his  family believe they have been ‘hung out to dry’ by TV network A&E after he  was suspended for homophobic comments made in a magazine interview, MailOnline  can reveal.

Sources within the close-knit Louisiana clan  say they are convinced A&E are manipulating the controversial situation to  bring them – and particularly Robertson – back into line after Television  executives grew tired of the family pushing their deeply-held, Christian  beliefs.
They also think the network could have done  something to stop the controversial GQ article being made public, because an  A&E representative was present during the interview with patriarch,  Roberston, 67. (more…)

Here are the THUGS

The suspects were identified as 29-year-old Hanif Thompson, of Irvington; 31-year-old Karif Ford, of Newark; 32-year-old Basim Henry, of Newark; and 33-year-old Kevin Roberts, of Newark.   (additional report)
SHORT HILLS, N.J. –  Four people are in custody in connection with a deadly carjacking outside an upscale mall in northern New Jersey that left a lawyer dead after two men shot him as he reportedly tried to protect his wife, authorities said early Saturday.
Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County prosecutor’s office, did not provide details or elaborate on the arrests, but said additional information will be released at a news conference Saturday morning, according to The New York Post. (more…)

…. They choose to side with the GAY extortionists  !

[…] Meanwhile, Cracker Barrel is tactically backing away. Employees contacted ABC7, saying they were instructed to pull Duck Dynasty products from the shelves on Friday, and slash prices of remaining items nearly 50-percent.

Late tonight, a Cracker Barrel spokesperson issued this statement:

“We continue to offer Duck Commander products in our stores. We removed selected products which we were concerned might offend some of our guests while we evaluate the situation. We continually evaluate the products we offer and will continue to do so.”

Sounds silly unless you are gay, or another (fill-in-the-checkbox) victim role-player;  because then you can demand the Chinese restaurateur acquiesce to your preference through your victimization leverage.

The fringe liberal left is so far out on the plank of hypocrisy with their attacks against Phil Robertson (aka the Duck Dynasty brand) the bend in their platform affords no retreat.
What happened with A&E network was pure acquiescence to a politically correct fear based on a tireless minority voice within the homosexual victim community.
In every state where “Gay Marriage” has been put to a voter referendum it has failed.   Yes, it failed even in California – so the gay minority focused on legislation by removing the will of the majority to express their rights upon a minority.
In order to accomplish this the minority interest always need to be portrayed as victims.   Their ideological position cannot stand on it’s own;  it needs to be victimized in order to be valuable.   Hence the numerous fake homophobic-labeled hate attacks.
Against that backdrop, a massively overrepresented minority gay sentiment in the media has aided the pink mafia (GLAAD) victimization cause, and worked diligently to make being “gay” equivocal to being “cool”.    If you doubt that – ask any middle schooler about “being gay” and they’ll be able to pull out their State issued bullying brochure (page 2).
To understand how rabid this element of GLAAD is, that contacted A & E, one only needs to look at the story of Kaitlyn Hunt. (more…)

Who are these fools ?   Seriously !
Three out of Ten Americans have a favorable opinion of government?    What exactly do they think is good about it.   Who are they?   Maybe I found one…

Unfavorable views of the federal government continue to climb.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of Likely U.S. Voters now view the federal government at least somewhat unfavorably. That’s up from 64% in October and 63% in November of last year. Just 29% view the feds favorably. This includes five percent (5%) who view the government Very Favorably and 29% who view it Very Unfavorably.  (link)

Milli Vanilli stopped doing live concerts as soon as the audience became aware they were lip-syncing.
Look at his face as President Edsel is being questioned.  Then listen to what Obama actually says in his response.   “I’m not concerned with polling, I don’t pay attention to polling” [… seconds later …]  “When I was a senator I was polling at 70%“.   Think about it.

Twas’ the week before Christmas, and all through the land
the shoppers were righteous – Duck Stuff in their hand.
The camo was hung with great glee and good might,
knowing a family stood firm in their fight.

They cling to their bibles with great will – No dismay;
and the splodey head liberals are burned in the fray.
“How can this be so”, the pajama crowd screams,
while a God loving family is living their dreams.
