Ha ha!!!! I never watched a minute of that freak show family. Looks like Mr. Duggar thought people watching him and his family liked him when more likely viewers were laughing and mocking him.

I guess the Duggars aren’t very popular in their part of the world.

I’ve said elsewhere on this forum: TV people prob knew Mr Dugout was a freak before the entire freak show went on TV.

“What item from our extensive research makes the USA, and in particular protestant Christian religious conservatives who have large families, look REALLY BAD? We need a Waco II!”

“Well, Boss, we have this one family; so far they have 12 kids!”

“Oh? Tell me more!”

I have no idea who these people are.

Looks like my move to get rid of cable TV 10 years ago remains correct.

That’s my response to these holier-than-thou types. Always has been, and I’ve seldom been wrong. The harder they thump the Bible the more the stash of secrets they have to protect.

I appreciate the religious aspect of the family. Jim Bob has spoken some ideas that I don’t agree with politically, so if I were voting in that election, I would weigh all aspects of the candidates and would not vote for anyone just based on name recognition.

I’ve never watched it either. I know they have a disturbed son.

What is it about them besides that which causes you to condemn them?

All I know about them is they have a zillion kids and are openly Christian I think..and they live in Arkansas

Well, with their show, they were trying to project a certain image of their family. They tried to show aspects of their faith in the show. I heard that they saw the show as a way of proselytizing.

I wonder how many people decided to have a large family, and became members of the Independent Baptist denomination , due to being inspired by the Duggars?

Well, the way things go in politics, a certain number of people do vote on name recognition. I bet Jim Bob thought name recognition could carry him to victory.

The same is true with liberals - the louder they are about ‘social justice’ and ‘helping the poor’ the more likely they are to be totalitarian commies from hell. They would happily murder millions of conservative citizens and nullify the Constitution in the process.

HILLBILLY STRIPTEASE

Cletus is passing by Billy Bob's hay barn one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old John Deere tractor.

Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his overalls fall down to his hips, revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt.

Then, grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his stained T-shirt underneath. With a final flourish, he tears the T-shirt from his body, and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay.

Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says, "What the world're ya doing, Billy Bob?"

"Good grief, Cletus, ya scared the bejeebers out of me," says an obviously embarrassed Billy Bob ..

"But me 'n the wife been havin trouble lately in the bedroom d'partment, and the therapist suggested I do something sexy to a tractor."

Here's a FR thread (from last week) with quite a lot about the Duggars:

Why is “accident” in scare quotes? It seems that it truly was an accident that a kid snuck out the door when she had turned her back. It happens. It’s an accident, not an “accident.”

YOU LIE.

Not everyone who believes in Jesus Christ and reads the Bible is a pedophile, but the demonic media sure was successful in making you think so.
