Cracker Barrel (r) was always FAKE Americana anyway [View all]

Cracker Barrel, Inc. (r) was never, and is not, real America or real Americana. It's just a stinking corporate chain "image"

The magat republicon meltdown is as fake as the CB "image." It's a distraction. Likely a distraction being pumped up by the G.O.P.'s PedoBestie Defense League.
