'You got to marry these girls when they are 15 or 16': Phil Robertson wades into new controversy
Daily Mail ^ | 12/31/2013

Posted on 12/31/2013 8:28:46 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Unpleasant video footage of reinstated Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has emerged in which he appears to advise young men to marry underage girls because they are easier to control.

In the 2009 Sportsmen's Ministry talk, Robertson, 67, who began dating his wife when she was 14-years-old, advises his audience, 'You got to marry these girls when they are 15 or 16. They'll pick your ducks' - which is a literal reference to removing dead bird's feathers.

Warming to his stereotypical redneck theme, Robertson, who was suspended from the A&E hit for nine days earlier this month for homophobic comments, tells the gathered crowd that in addition to being young, the girls have to know how to cook and carry a Bible - 'That'll save you a lot of trouble down the road.'

While the speech given in Georgia is recounted in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner, in light of Robertson's strong views on traditional family values - protected by the First Amendment - they seem slightly inappropriate.

His advice for a happy marriage, which he claims is a kind of 'river rat counseling', is that all men 'Make sure that she can cook a meal. You need to eat some meals that she cooks, check that out.'

Yes, I can’t help but notice that you really don’t care about facts or history, you just want to rage on about something that you want to rage about, you chose an opinion, and you want to win something.

Getting personal, getting off the subject, anything you can do that you think turns it into a shouting match, you hope will work to create a fake reality.

This happened the lest time he and I went round the maypole on this issue. We agree on most other issues, but he is willfully blind to the world he lives in on this.

"Oh, God...now we’re dealing with straw men arguments and obligatory accusations of stealth liberalism."

That's OK as long as you stay on topic.

Can’t be. Since it never happened even though they admit it happened but only in certain...

Oh hell I can’t keep up with the fantasy.

When I was in middle school, Home Ec was required for the girls and it was about every aspect of home making.

I have no idea if they even teach that class anymore.

We had Home Ec in middle school too (man, I feel old). It was coed -- for some of the guys, it was a way for them to "play chef" and impress the girls with their cooking skills. :) It was a valuable class. I am not sure it is still being taught at that school.

Like they say, “If everybody liked the same thing, we’d all be married to your mother.”

Ansel, blue is the color of the sky in the world where young marraige was common. What color is it in the world you came from? Just so we can avoid any further cultural misunderstandings.

My high school home ec [in case we’d forgotten the other class, I reckon] was also co-ed.

We ended up kind of ‘pairing off’ with the guys.

An older guy named Mark was my ‘husband’.

He’d come into the room and yell “Where’s muh supper, woman?”

That was a fun class...:D

There is a huge windfarm about 60 miles South of here.
I have to drive through it frequently on my way to Indy.

Creepiest feeling you could ever imagine.

The whole landscape just screams out that there’s something *WRONG*.

Nope.

Shari

[and the crowd gasps!]

To this day, I am handy with hand and power tools.

My dad insisted I learn those things.

My sister, OTOH, is helpless.

He never let me weld, though.

Neither will hubby.

I think they don’t trust me with large amounts of fire and electricity.

>:-)
