...The reason Duck Dynasty is so popular is people are not buying into this new Cultural Revolutionary ideology. They know it is not true. They know it will not promote the common good. In fact, much of the media is apoplectic about the interview. The entertainment subculture, which has erected a new golden calf, which many mind numbed Americans dance around, has found a goldmine to propel their ratings.

In particular, the propaganda media, the new Cultural Revolutionary guard - which has not only bought the agenda of a small section of the homosexual/lesbian community is seeking to compel the entire culture to change the truth about marriage and the family but has become its agents - is absolutely aghast!

[P-Marlowe]

Agreeing with the homosexual agenda is the Mark of the Beast in today’s culture. If you don’t have this Mark on your forehead, you can’t work. You can’t earn a living. You can’t eat.

[MrB]

He demonstrated, by quoting the Bible,

Heb 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

As a devoted follower of DD, I am pledging not to support any of A&E’s other pervert programs until they reinstate Phil with a full apology. If the rest of the DD crew agree to quit in support of Phil, I will go to Walmart and buy their CD, a coupla of shirts, and some other souvenirs.

[MissMagnolia]

Regarding Phil, who has the courage to speak the truth:

Matthew 5:10-12
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

How do you fight this. Next time you are in Wal-mart or Barnes and Noble buy a bit Duck Dynasty merchandise. All it will take is an uptick in the popularity of the merchandise and these clowns will be crying and nobody in corporate will hear them. This boycott crap was tried on chick filet and the people who liked the sandwich packed the restaurants and gave Chick Filet a really good quarter. Boycott’s are countered with BUYcotts; works every time.

I’ve not watched much TV in the past couple years, so I’ve missed DD. So please excuse me for asking, but has A & E dumped Phil for his frank interview comments?

[ConservativeStatement]

I saw Jason (Phil’s son) recently say that he wasn’t into some of the Christmas festivities such as Santa and hanging lights. He said the true meaning of Christmas is “family, faith and facial hair.” Funny and point made at the same time.

[I want the USA back]

This was predictable. The left has been wanting to eliminate Duck Dynasty since it started.

There is no free speech in the USA.

Support the Robinsons!

Meanwhile actor Alec Baldwin can threaten his ex wife, his daughter, photographers, make one gay slur after another for years. As a reward he has been given a tv series and commercial endorsements.

Adam Carrola called it last month before this happened.

Christianity on trial in duck dynasty controversy

[RinaseaofDs]

I used to read GQ in college. Back then it helped teach boys how to dress and act like young men. (1984)

It went WAAAY left to the point I couldn’t deal, then it went into the gutter.

It doesn’t take a genius of an entertainment marketing person to see that almost ANY programming that caters to traditional family values (Blue Bloods, The Bible, Duck Dynasty) is going to be a ratings success.

I know there are a lot of Rush haters on FR (not sure why, but . . ) but to pick the AM band, and broadcast 9 to noon on the West Coast is just putting you at every single ratings disadvantage you can image - yet he’s the king.

It tells you how much money is in entertainment, that they can purposefully market crap nobody wants to see and still keep their jobs.

It IS a cultural revolution, and not about profit.

I won’t pay for propaganda, but I will pay for information and entertainment.

Admittedly, this is facebook, but I do find it amusing that almost as many likes as 4% of those who watched the record breaking season premier of Duck Dynasty have so far liked the page.

Count my vote in the “really prefer a vagina” column....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The homosexual McCarthyites blacklist anyone who is not a homosexualist.

[techcor]

Here's how Phil should handle it. Next interview instead of apologizing ask a couple of questions:
Phil: Is it ok if a lesbian says "I prefer a woman's vagina over man's anus?
Interviewer: Of course.
Phil: Then why is it as a heterosexual man I can't say the same thing?

A&E = gAy&E

[W.Lee]

Placing Mr. Robertson on “hiatus” shows how completely clueless A&E is. The reason the show is so successful is because of him. He walked some bad trails, but then found the forgiveness of Jesus. And from then on he and his wife raised the boys to be, as he has said, “Godly men.” When his youngest was going down the same bad paths as Phil, the family stepped in and saved him. A&E is not used to dealing with people like this. The Robertsons aren’t some airheaded clan from L.A. who would sell each other out for top billing. They know that they can depend on their faith and each other. And A&E will find out what happens when you try to separate them from that faith and family.

[steelhead_trout]

And, that, fellow Freepers, is why the First Amendment must be expanded to protect free speech in private employer-employee relationships. Maybe a SCOTUS more enlightened and open-minded than the present one (and that's not hard to imagine) will remedy this error in a future decision.
