Cracker Barrel: We listened to you, today Duck Dynasty stuff goes back in stores

Standing up for Americans to have the ability to hold a conversation on any subject is not "racism", it is what the 1st Amendment is all about. While the trend lately has been to shut down all conversation by drowning out any opposition, people are tired of that. It's time again to remember that Free Speech even guarantees speech to those you may believe you are in disagreement with.

and we don't have to like what you say.

You see when you ignorantly try to rewrite a people entire history by pretending black people LOVED the Jim Crowe days that is something worth LOATHING.


why would ANYONE pretend Jim Crowe was GOOD TIMES for black people?


what message about himself was he TRYING to convey?


Why did he say it?

When did I say anything like that? You don't like me pointing out that in order to hold a conversation you need to allow the other side to speak?

Considering they are in 42 states, it's almost a fully national thing. I even found two in the NY, NY area (one on Staten Island, and one in Huntington) and two in NJ very near to the NY, NY area.

Cracker Barrels are mostly in Republican areas. And Staten Island is a Republican area! There is a profile floating around somewhere of characteristics of conservative and liberal areas, and Cracker Barrel is a characteristic of a conservative area! And all states have conservative areas! And in the South that means mostly the whole state!

LOL. Cracker Barrels are all over the Cleveland and Cincinnati areas, those are not republican strongholds. You are just speculating, and poorly. "Only republicans would eat meat and potatoes meals..."

Just like it was time to do that when the Dixie Chicks said they were embarrassed by GWB.

Okay so its a Southern thing that went national.
 
Does anyone actually eat at Cracker Barrel? I went there once when I was in Texas and it seems like one notch up from Waffle House... barely.

Absolutely nothing to do with free speech. In fact, this is about free markets. That's how we got Glenn Beck off the air, and how we made Rush Limbaugh a losing venture for any station that carries him.

Nobody criticized the duck fucker for speaking his uninformed views. When you're in the public eye, your opinions on hotbed issues are often best kept to yourself. No matter your position on a variety of these topics, you're going to piss off at least 1/2 the country. He could've been more diplomatic when espousing his delusions about how 'happy' 'the blacks' were in decades past.

Its about Free Speech, its not about the First Amendment.

His views are harmful, the rate of suicide among gay teens is way too high. He has a right to express them, and we have a right to denounce him. It should be explained to this man and any others who espouse this theology that they are hurting people. If you think being gay is a sin, abstain from homosexual behavior, but don't perpetuate the old worn out stigma that was once attached to homosexuality.

Take Jesus's example.
