"Geeze. I walked into Walmart last week and the store was full of Duck Dynasty stuff. It was hard to find anything else! I walked past it. This week, my son is getting a DD hat"

And if you look closely at those shelves and shelves of Duck Dynasty merchandise you will notice most of it is aimed at kids and young teens. DD is very popular with the young and as such it gives the Robertsons an awesome opportunity to be a lasting Christian influence on the future of our society. They are making it "cool" to be Christian. Preach on Phil, God is using you in ways you can't imagine.

Yeah GLAAD had a hissy fit, you’d think “that” group of people wouldn’t get butt hurt so easy

A&E also tried to get DD to discard the prayers “in Jesus’ name” so as not to be offensive to somebody-or-other. Phil told them to pound sand.

That was a couple of years ago - and they have grown by leaps and bounds since then.

I think DD has a good chance to defy the gaystapo - they have already defied the anti-christians and prospered.

“Haven’t watched it but I’m guessing their demographic group isn’t the same as the one for “The New Normal”.”

You would be correct! roflol!

Actually, the real problem with flamers and duck calls is the direction or airflow required to make it work.

The flamers can’t manage to outflow when such shapes near their lips.

In the earliest episodes A&E edited Jesus' name out of the prayers and the Robertsons put their foot down on that and it stopped.

Sadie, one of the granddaughters opened a beautiful dress shop in Monroe, La. where they live. She designed most of the clothes. Willie, the son just opened a restaurant in the same town not far from Duck Commander headquarters. One of the daughters-in-law has a beautiful voice and is recording music with some top country singers. They aren’t going to be hurting any time soon.

A few mega stars such as Alison Krauss, Josh Turner and Luke Bryan also accompanied the Robertson’s on a few tracks. George Strait appears with Phil and Miss Kay and sing “Christmas Cookies” (as shown on the video at above link).

He’s right. Duck Dynasty - whatever that is - just got another fan.

Oh yeah, trouble indeed. Let's see: he's wealthy from his sporting goods business and he's now also wealthy from his TV show. He loves Jesus. He loves his family, and works with them in his two pursuits. He was better at quarterback than Terry Bradshaw, something Bradshaw readily admits, and yet he didn't need the NFL. He needs nothing. His give a damn is obviously broke, in a good way.

We should all be in such "trouble."

I’ve never watched it before, but this comment makes me want to go out of my way to watch it!

I've watched the show before but I wouldn't consider myself a big fan. I liked the show, I thought is was funny but I didn't go out of my way to watch it.

I think that I just might have become a big fan. I also might buy some of the DD merchandise that I see on sale just about everywhere.

“..because Phil Robertson has made some strong (and seriously offensive) anti-gay remarks ...”

Like males inserting their copulatory organs into other males’ bodily orifaces isn’t OFFENSIVE????

The stars of “Duck Dynasty” might be America’s most popular TV family, but that could change very soon — because Phil Robertson has made some strong (and seriously offensive) anti-gay remarks that have sparked instant backlash

Only by the perverts and the spineless weaklings that have already caved to that agenda. Actually this should increase their popularity.

"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe," said GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz.

They say these words, but I don't think they actually know what they mean. I'm pretty sure that what "true Christians" believe is that when the Bible says something, it means what it says. I do not condemn the sin of homosexuality; the Bible condemns the sin of homosexuality, along with a host of other sins. I cannot contradict what the Bible says on that issue, or any other issue for that matter.

Sooo instructive….and related to what Rush is talking about now….how people who actually express their opinions, instead of going along to get along, are actually much happier, and get much more respect. This guy's life proves it…….hes clearly happy, and clearly respected. And he clearly speaks his mind…..

Pretty much “Love the sinner, condemn the sin.”

Phil is a great man.
