Has A&E Awakened a Sleeping Giant?
American Thinker ^ | December 23, 2013 | Robert Arvay

While the Japanese were celebrating the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, the mastermind of that attack, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, had a sobering message for his countrymen. "We have awakened a sleeping giant," he said.

Even before the war began, the admiral had warned his emperor that Japan would enjoy early victories in any war with the United States, but that winning streak would last only six months to a year, after which American industrial might would inevitably overwhelm the small island nation.

He was right. For the first few months of World War II, the Japanese war machine steamrolled over the Pacific, humiliating and defeating the best that the United States and its allies (British Commonwealth and Dutch) could throw against it, winning battle after battle. To some, it seemed hopeless to resist.

Then came the Battle of Midway, where the Japanese Navy suffered its first catastrophe, and the long, bloody road to Allied victory began.

For years now, the gay lobby has steamrolled over the Christian conservative movement, humiliating us and defeating us in battle after battle. Then came the battle of "Duck Dynasty," and the gay lobby suffered a major backlash. Have they finally met their Midway?

For many years now, the drill has become familiar. Someone speaks out in favor of maintaining the traditions of marriage, and instantly the gay rights organizations are up in arms, making threats, filing lawsuits, and mobilizing protests. Then, instead of Christians putting up a serious resistance, there is apathy, apology, and defeat. The script was repeated over and again, time after time.

Can you picture those guys as Phil’s cabinet? Uncle Si as Secretary of State would be a vast improvement over the last two.

A&E was what last week? A&E is meaningless. After this incident, TV will make sure people whose beliefs are not in line with corporate ideology will never see the light of day, unless they are being completely ridiculed.

Whichever network breaks that mold will have the next big moneymaker.

.Even politicians pay for adultery when discovered.

Sometimes. Mostly Republican politicians.

He confronts sin & sinners head on, simple & straightforward. It hard to make that claim about our current religious leaders, whose words are so vague they are routinely interpreted in opposing ways.

There are a lot of church leaders who continue to confront sin head on while offering the path to repentance. At least in my neck of the woods, there are.
