Duck Dynasty, Gay Activism, and the Clash of Two Cultures

Well, the cultural production aspect is definitely true.

Also gays (particularly men, but increasingly women) often have insane amounts of money and are very happy pouring it into politics or using it to pressure the rest of society.

Anyone writing A&E should criticize A&E for their own intolerance.

Use that word, INTOLERANCE. Throw it in their faces.

Hold them to their own standards. Make them own it.

[mrsmel]

Yes. The left owns the “Cathedral” and are now making inroads into the few last remaining former conservative bastions, such as the military and the purported “Christian” church.

[Elsie]

And the view of Someone who DOES give a HOOT??

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Gays are a tiny percentage of any population. How have they gotten so much power?

Ephesians 6:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

[Elsie]

The very recent federal court ruling which suggests that polygamy make in fact be legal.

ONE

man's ruling.

---

If I recall; killing Jews by the millions was 'legal' as well.

Will it take an American Nuremburg to straighten us out?

[red irish]

you nailed!

[MrB]

Because they are being USED by the left.

Simply put, the goal of “gay activism” is to criminalize Christianity.

[Elsie]

...but since it’s the dreaded Bible...he has to be silenced.

Beards across America!!!!

Come on, MEN!!!

We can DO this!!!

[Elsie]

Use that word, INTOLERANCE. Throw it in their faces.

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen quotes:

 

 

"A Plea For Intolerance" (1931)

 

Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.

 Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth.

 

America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not.

It is suffering from tolerance.

Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.

Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.

Who does Green Bay play next week?

Who does Green Bay play next week?

The San Francisco Fudge Packers?

Is it the Meat Packers versus the Fudge Packers?

[Elsie]

We are two sick puppies of the same litter!

[Kaslin]

What does it matter? The author in GQ did not smear him. It was GLAAD who did

[ex-snook]

Nah this started long before Obama. We are just limboing lower and lower in defining normal. Now even in economics they just call it the ‘new normal’ in the workforce.

“Defining deviancy down” was the title of an essay by New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan in The American Spectator (vol. 62, no. 1, winter 1993, pp. 17-30). The subtitle was “How We’ve Become Accustomed to Alarming Levels of Crime and Destructive Behavior.”

Abstract: Asserts that the amount of deviant behavior in American society has increased beyond levels the community can afford to recognize and that society has been redefining deviancy to exempt much conduct previously stigmatized and accepting as normal behavior that considered abnormal by earlier standards. Redefinition is categorized as altruistic, opportunistic, and normalizing. (SLD)

[thackney]

1.Whatever possessed him to do an interview with GQ?

Because he has never minded speaking his mind about his faith around those that may have different views. He has welcomed that opportunity several times.

I have no doubt he understood what his words would eventually bring. That likely was the point.

[null and void]

Are you advocating that we praise A&E for their tolerance?

[Kaslin]

Its either A&E was foolish to fire him, or I agree with him 100% for me

“Gays are a tiny percentage of any population. How have they gotten so much power?”

The Nazis in Germany were a small percentage of the population when they gained power, too.
