Up until yesterday the dominant party line on FR was that this was; an old story/no big deal/made up by the media/ nothing to it/hatin' on wholesome Christians, etc. You can see this on Dugger threads prior to yesterday. Anybody who thought there was something weird or creepy about this group got shouted down.
Now it's turned 180. Why? Because people never really liked the size of the family or didn't really like their beliefs? I don't think so.
“Now it’s turned 180.”
I’ll have to take your word for it...
inside Free Republic.
Outside this forum, what I said will
be the narrative. But if you’re saying
that the whole thing was a freak show
from the beginning put on by an anti-
American TV network, then, again, I’ll
take your word for it. Still, the end
result will be that large families,
Christians, and traditional values
will be defamed. Ok, the family in
question was never a good role model,
but the media won’t be happy until
everyone merely shacks up, never has
kids, hates God, and kills babies before
they’re born, and dies a bitter atheist
using (bad?) examples like the Duggars.
