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.'

No he is not! A person does not need to be controlled by anyone other than by parents. A husband should not control. If a woman doesnt meet a mans expectation naturally she either needs to grow up and mature or find another man (or visaversa) who accepts her for how she is.
I like Phil. I had a preacher tell me the same years ago.
About a year back I went around for many posts with another freeper on this issue. But ultimately, history does not lie. My own grandparents married that young, as did theirs. The only thing that shocked me is that another freeper seemed unaware of our own history in this regard.
To say nothing of every other society that did likewise. Not like it is a secret.
The trend is 27 yo ‘children’ living at home. Perhaps if we went back to the old school and the responsibility if required, we would all be better as a country.
And before someone accuses me of being Pedobear, I do not mean 30 yo dudes should be snagging 15 yo’s.
Have your preacher call Holly. LOL!
And he stayed married to the same girl.
It’s called commitment. Those casting stones probably are foreign to the term family matters too
He told me to get a young one so I could make her what I wanted her to be. lol you gotta love it !
What’s the surest way of creating a sinful society?
Make the people wait until 10 to 12 years after puberty before they can afford to marry and have children!
Get the sin in deep.
You want to know how many young women have married at age 15-16 through the millennia? Wait, I forgot; liberals don’t study history.
He passed away several years back in his 70’s. But people or some ,years ago married very young. They seem to turn out ok
I think the people that find this offensive should first take on the pedophile Muhamed, and his followers.
and the big “controversy” is...??
This ‘scandal’ is dying on the vine thank God. Trying to demonize people who beat them has been the left’s modus operandi for decades.
“....recounted in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner”
So he was joking. Got anything else Drive-bys?
Obama married a man and received his man-love gold islamic ring when he was still a foreign college student.
31 states have an age of consent of 16, FWIW.
Married at 16...and not pregnant. In the early 70’s.
And it was a good thing. :)
Sure, Just strip away their childhood, sure. I hardly consider that a measurement on what is ok.
Please don’t. I dont want to start my new year cursing out a preacher.
A hundred years ago, for most Americans, childhood ended at 15. Of those who went to high school, most left school at 16. Remember the TV series, “Band of Brothers”? The real Dick Winters was 24 and a captain, but he looked much older. No baby fat on those raised during the Depression.
Had he said “boys”, it would have been OK. Except that the queers start grooming their “boys” much younger.
