Phil Robertson, the new face of Cracker Barrel

Put a turban on Phil Robertson and what do you have?

Wait, is there anything new about this?  As I am sure we have all heard, Cracker Barrel was once the top dog when it came to discrimination against gays and African Americans, out shinning even DENNY’S in the 1990’s. The justice department came down on them so they were forced to play nice and came up out of their Tennessee holler of bigotry into the 21st century. Until YESTERDAY.

So after pulling their Duck Dynasty crap from the shelves last week, Cracker Barrel put it all back this Sunday saying they “didn’t want to offend anyone.” Obviously, Cracker Barrel is a silly company. But hey, give them a break, Cracker Barrel is no ARTs channel, and just like the GOP they are forced to play to their base. There’s big money in dirtball bigotry. Listen to AM radio. In fact snapshots and short videos of Duck Dynasty is how the rest of the civilized world sees Americans. Stupid smelly people with guns.

I wonder where I will now get my fried opossum poontang clusters with okra sauce?  Maybe Hobby Lobby will carry it dried and give it away with plastic flowers?

Speaking of Christian bigotry, why hasn’t Hobby Lobby come out in support of these bigots yet? What’s the matter with them? And Chick Fil A? Where are they when there is bigotry to be celebrated?

For the message must be sent far and wide, especially to the East and West coast, that racism and bigotry are the foundation of American Christianity.
