I see this Duck Dynasty furor as a bigger issue than the ones espoused so far.
It’s not just about Phil’s 1st Amendment rights of freedom of speech and religion. Or just about the gays right to pressure A&E to dump Phil. Or just about A&E’s right to “fire” him from his own reality show. Or even just about the Cracker Barrel pulling an “Oops!” reversal and admitting they pulled the trigger too quickly on the wrong customer base. These are all the case but not the real reasons why this incident with Phil’s GQ interview and the GLADD attack are important.
I sense that this is a moment when history will show that the left and their fellow travelers jumped the proverbial shark and the mainstream American people, who make up the “silent majority”, started to push back against decades of PC speech and actions dictated by the liberals. The sleeping giant has been awakened. No longer will people bite their tongues and keep quiet for fear of the attacks by the left for being insensitive or offensive. It is time for the silent majority to push back against this PC crap and indoctrination shoved down our throats for too long.
And what better time to start than by defending Phil Robertson?
I suppose some(most) on the left thought the sheep in fly over country would just curl up and whimper in the corner. Looks like they supposed wrong. They more than likely thought this would NOT be relevant for more than a day or two. Oops. Wrong again. As for Phil........... Don’t think if ruffled any feathers. Just proves, once again, how hateful and intolerant the party of inclusiveness is. Drivin’ the wrong way on Diversity Way again.
I agree with your assessment, this is a time and an instance for grabbing the attention of the basic hard working Americans. We Christians have turned the other cheek, endured verbal abuse, and suppression of our rights, and done so without vicious attack back on those attacking us.
We are taught to honor our leaders, and it is time for a clean sweep of many of the liberal progressives among them. Legally and emphatically.
Pray for the restoration of America to our former values and faith in the LORD God and His Son Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen..
