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.
This time was different....

I think it is laughable to pin this on A&E. If they hadn’t suspended Robertson, they would have been crushed themselves. It’s ridiculous to ignore thew fact big business now overwhelmingly supports and enforces left wing ideology.
Conservatives are ignoring the fact that in 2008 California voted against gay marriage and every other stated voted against it before recent elections. The reason that voters are no longer against gay marriage is that big business threw their weight into it. I don’t know that either side has grasped that. People know they can lose their jobs, their status, a lot if they don’t toe the lines.
Conservatives have traditionally defended big business from the left. What will happen now that big business supports the full left wing philosophy and are using their resources and might to crush conservatism and Christianity?
Very interesting...How to slay that beast?
“I am Phil Robertson”
/Spartacus
Amen!...This is spot on!...And we have just begun to fight!!!!!!!!
And I had been thinking the past few days....like Vet.....They have awakened a sleeping giant.
We’re mad, fed up and not going to take it anymore
Comments....Yeah I got a comment..the writer needs to be hung comparing this BS that is happening to Pearl Harbor and Midway.
People died in that battle
In this lil lovers spat two bunches of millionairs are pulling each others hair.
What a bunch of pu$$ies we have become in AmieriKA.
Give it a rest and go fire off some rounds. STay sharp.
where is your sarcasm tag?
Phil has leverage. He doesn’t need the money.
The religious right helped Reagan win the presidency twice. He didn’t tell them to surrender to the left.
The GOPe should be watching and taking notes. If they want to win big don’t ignore the religious right or the 2nd amendment supporters.
You just don’t get it, do you.
American industrial might would inevitably overwhelm the small island nation.
Stop and think about it. In the event of a war with China or some other industrial might, where the hell are we going to get our military hardware and equipment? Hell, some of our electronic equipment for our military equipment is made in foreign countries such as CHINA!
We are in a very dangerous situation whereby America has been slowly defeated from within and eventually we will stand as a victim of Political Correctness for the world to see.
BS! BTW...Stuff your Urban Poverty up your Law Center.
Let’s see what happens in the battle against amnesty and big business.
They probably “drug” that one way back into the swamp for some prime duck hunting and, at a convenient moment all stepped away from him. Hasn’t been heard from since.
He’s probably still crouching behind a duck blind wondering why Willie hasn’t come back with the snacks yet.
And second, people need to step up at work and point out how the 'h-word' is a slur against traditional Judeo-Christian believers. Get Newsmax, Fox, and others to ban the use of the word Homophobic. That word is used to marginalize Christians, need to fight back.
One of my faves, too. James Daly gave an emmy caliber performance.
“The Devil’s fooled a lot of people, but even the Devil can’t fool a dog!”
The angel leads the old man & his dog into Heaven where a square dance is just starting. He asks about his wife & the angel replies, “She’ll be along shortly”.
IF thta’s not my fave TZ episode, it’s because “A Piano in The House” is.
Anyway, A&E has sown the wind, and is reaping the whirlwind. The sleeping giant is awake and is filled with a terrible resolve, just as Yamamoto observed.
I hope so.
Wow, you’re really analogy-challenged, huh?
