So rednecks need to be politically correct now?
Wait, before the National Association of Rednecked Persons attacks me, let me be clear that I dont mean redneck as an insult. Indeed, Redneck Pride has been on the rise ever since Jeff Foxworthy got rich informing people they might be a redneck.
Redneck reality shows have been all the rage: Rocket City Rednecks, Hillbilly Handfishin and, of course, Swamp People. But the gold standard is Duck Dynasty, which follows the Robertsons, a family that struck it rich selling duck calls. Its like a real-life version of The Beverly Hillbillies. All of the men look like they stepped out of the Hatfield-McCoy conflict to smoke a corncob pipe.
What all of these reality shows have in common is their shock value. And guess what? Sometimes the shock is manufactured. If the cameras werent on, the silicone life forms on the various Real Housewives shows probably wouldnt be throwing wine in each others faces as much as they do.
But heres a twist. Phil Robertson (who shhh! has a masters degree from Louisiana Tech) gave an interview to GQ in which he said that, as a Christian, he has problems with homosexuality. He got a bit too detailed with his anatomical analysis. But his real sin was calling homosexuality a sin comparable with bestiality.
In response, A&E suspended him from the reality show about his own family. Which should give you a sense of how real this reality show is. If its about the family, some producer in New York cant decide whos in or out of the family. If NBC News decided it simply didnt like the Republican Party anymore...

I got news for you, horny, teenage, rednecks look at "stump jumping'" about like Catholics look at masturbation.
It's something you're expected to grow out of, but they don't think it's that big a deal.
He got a bit too detailed with his anatomical analysis.
******
Yet Common Core, LGBT acceptance and pedophilia is pushed by gays. Phil used real words to describe sex between a man and a woman.
Gays should read “Everybody Poops” if they don’t get what an anus is for....and it’s not for sex.
You know, like die hosenscheist.
You know what’s odd ... even though Phil Robertson didn’t compare homosexuality to bestiality, they are comparable. So are all sins, because God does not rank them in order of severity, with the exception of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. God detests ALL sin in equal measure and sent His Son to die to save us from all of it.
Any sin separates us from God and it denies Christ’s mission, which was to make us holy through His perfect sacrifice.
Say what??
(spoken in my best Ebonics)
It’s an intentional word substitution. Crapping your drawers, basically, although I understand German and don’t think that’s actually a word, hosenscheist, lol.
(in English) a pantload.
I think it’s actually two words, somebody knows.
I know a little German...He's sitting over there...
The next Season is already in the Can.
I’m not sure what they’re suspending Phil from, must be the Commercials promoting the new Season.
In related News, Obama says he watches Duck Dynasty all the time. He must watch because Phil’s Grandson is Blacker than Obama.
Now, now. Don't go getting the GLAAD folks all hot and bothered :-)
Amen.....
This thread is taking a decidedly stinky turn .. LOL
How does O’Reilly keep his show?
Nah, psychologists will discover it was all Bush's fault.
I agree! Yes, they are the REAL thing, and people appreciate being a part of it in some little way and displaying their fidelity.
I have a dear friend who is our fellow FReeper. He was sad to report that his colleague at work suffered the grievous loss of a young grandson who downed in his grandfather’s brand-new swimming pool.
The boy had been a huge DD fan. Since the family lived in Louisiana, the story of the little boy’s tragic death came to the attention of the Duck Dynasty family. They were greatly saddened by the news and sent their condolences to the boy’s family as well as money for his funeral.
There are some very good families of all faiths in this world, and it’s wonderful when you find one of them presented on television where they poke the egos creating trash-TV and use the opportunity to let their faith and virtue shine out for the world to see! More Power to them! :-D
Nein, er steht dort drüben.
That might be because while adultery is common, most people don’t deny it’s morally wrong, unless both the man and woman are in on it together as “swingers.” But the left absolutely wants to deny there’s anything morally wrong with homosexual behavior. Which is why they try to say it’s not a choice, but that they were “born this way.” And they’re winning that argument in a big way with the under-30 crowd...and of course near unanimously with the increasingly secular segment of that age group.
I wouldn’t have expected we could turn that trend around without more young people becoming religious, but I would’ve thought we could win the argument against same-sex marriage at least, since that seems far more radical a change than just “tolerance.” But we seem to be losing more ground on that one every day too.
Exactly - the Left abhors pictures of aborted babies because of the horror it engenders - they are similarly against painting mental images of the homosexual's "target of desire" because the average normal person can't help but be repelled.
Over the next week I count 126 episodes will be shown. They really hate those vile Rednecks.
