Well, that only took decades.
Who knew that the Leftist Playbook would finally get seriously winged by a duck caller?
[SNIP]
As the year ends, the un-suspension of Phil Robertson is exactly the moment to understand that what Mr. Robertson and his family — who rallied to their patriarch — have accomplished is no small thing.
This “controversy” in fact had nothing to do with gays or African Americans.
In fact, the Robertson-A&E dust-up was merely the latest in a long — very long — line of leftist attempts to impose supposedly sophisticated moral pretensions on the rest of the country.
This laughable air of moral superiority has been at the root of everything from the violence of the anti-Vietnam War rioters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and Obama pal Bill Ayers’ Weathermen to today’s Occupy Wall Street crowd. And all manner of things in between.

Yesterday we had breakfast at a local restaurant, and there was a group of black men, some wearing teeshirts with pictures of Phil. The media failed big on this one.
There are other , similar, interviews after this one - this is the earliest dated one I’ve seen.
Asked about how he dealt with the horrific tragedies in his life, he talks about God, Christ, the Bible etc.
Passing this along as it is certainly on the subject. In yesterday years you could talk about this without heaping scorn from the elite upon your head. Today you will be thought at the very least, a dumb hayseed bible thumper.
If like Phil R. you weigh in on certain elite-advanced cultural issues, even worse happens.
Thanks for this posted thread, BTW...
Roy Orbison speaks on the tragedies in his life:
