Once again, TV finds itself in another cultural hot zone. The “Duck Dynasty” situation recalls last summer’s uproar over celebrity chef Paula Deen, who lost her Food Network gig and many sponsorship deals after she admitted she had “of course” used a racial epithet in the past. . 

Great example of how the left operates. Culture and society are constantly changing. In the past things have usually changed very slowly and gradually. The left figured out that they can use the mass media and the education system to make changes quicker. The problem though is these are only shallow, quasi-intellectual changes...they don't have deep roots nearly anywhere but they're widespread. Wide and thin . The left then demonizes anyone who dares to poke their head out of this shallow pool and point out just how little substance there is to it.

Good observations.

It is like Hitler’s Blitzkreig that ran over Europe so quickly and put down a harsh martial law so unpopular with the people that they had to go underground.

That’s a keeper !!!

I might add that much of the left doesn’t know that their own views are shallow.

They sense a threat, and react in the only way which they have found works.

They are fundamentally insecure.
