“They can’t pull out of a contract.”

You know the details of their contract with A&E? There are always “outs”, it ain’t slavery.

The Robertsons are not the same yokels as the idiots on Storage Wars or Being Sea Gold, they were successful business people before A&E came along.

Phil said himself in an interview a few weeks ago he felt the show was unlikely to run more than 4-5 seasons.

Haha. You’re right, A&E doesn’t have a clue about this culture.

They’re about to learn what “Honor your father and your mother,” looks like.

Everything is not about Constitutional rights. The Constitution exists to define how we interrelate with the government we created. Remember, our rights are given to us by God. No human has the right to take those away.

What we are dealing with here is attempted cultural tyranny. We have not lost any right to speak, but too many Americans have silenced themselves because of cowardice.

It’s as simple with dealing with a schoolyard bully. We need to stand up to those who threaten us, or we give them our power.

He’ll have to back down to stay popular. Some 93 percent of Louisiana voters support homosexuality, according to a newly-released poll.

I’d love to see a million of these mugs sell in the next two weeks. Everyone can be happy, happy, happy!

Just make sure to buy only Duck Commander merchandise, so the profit goes to the Robertsons. A&E owns the Duck Dynasty name and gets that money, so read labels.

But the important question is who owns the rights to the Chia Uncle Si...

I couldn't have said it any better. Everything you said is right on point.

Freedom not exercised is freedom lost. Remain silent long enough, and you'll one day find you've lost the ability to speak at all. Remain seated while tyranny destroys everything around you, and the day will come when you've lost the ability to stand at all.

There's a battle of words occurring on the internet over this outrage, and I think that's a good sign. It means that ordinary people are exercising their freedom to speak, and a great many are backing their words up with positive action. It's a precursor to the battles that lie ahead, and that gives me a great deal of confidence about our future.

I believe quite firmly that if (as) more people dig roots into God again, their boldness will come back.

Some might laugh at my tag as childish. But it is true. The Lion of Judah will roar for me and for you. And even better He will roar IN us.

Exactly. I think this was planned not necessarily by them but by God.

He put them in this situation.

Before we pretend to know how this is going to work out, Let’s not act like central planning social engineering liberal humans. They don’t believe in God they think they are God.

I agree with you. What are the legal options?

They can’t pull out of a contract.

Well, sure A&E might be able to force the to continue filming, however I don't see how they could get any good footage going forward. If it were me being forced to act in front of the camera, I'm sure I'd have a hard time remembering my lines, might have to pause a really long time to try and remember it, and perhaps just pray to Jesus out loud to help me remember. That will be footage that A&E can't wait to air, I'm sure.

In all reality, they will just have to leave the name "Duck Dynasty" behind. Good riddance.

Bravo!!!!! Well said!!
We need a return to moral courage by the real men of this country, and I think Phil is leading by example.

RTHER THAN HAVE JOE WILSON yell out : " You lie " at the next 'State of the State' congressional get together ,
I would rather have all opposition stand up , and give the "Quack , quack , quack" call.

Intentionally dishonest statements by the pResident should not be allowed to be televized without comment !!
"Quack , quack ,..quack " would be an appropriate response to this intentionally intellectual and political dishonesty !!
