Duck Commander says Cruz is "the man for the job"HOUSTON, Texas - Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced the endorsement of Phil Robertson, a professional hunter, businessman, Christian minister, and reality television star on the popular television series Duck Dynasty. Robertson believes Ted Cruz is the man for the job.Cruz Commander (Video)“My qualifications for President of the United States are rather narrow: Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck...

Duck Dynasty’s Missy Robertson said there “definitely” is spiritual warfare at play in some of the criticism and attacks made against the popular, pro-family program and its Bible-Christian patriarch Phil Robertson, remarking that “a lot of people want to keep us quiet” but “we’re not going to be quiet” and “we’re not going to be bullied.”

Next We've recently seen a couple of kids who got famous at a young age do some pretty crazy things. But while Miley Cyrus makes headlines for posing topless and Justin Bieber for alleged DUI arrests and just plain being a jerk, 'Duck Dynasty's' Sadie Robertson is making headlines for a very different reason. ADVERTISEMENT The 16-year-old 'Duck' heiress is famous for putting her faith first. "I think people use fame as an excuse to lose their faith," Roberston told FOX411. "Faith is obviously my number one priority and I think you need to put God at the top of...

“Duck Dynasty” could be coming to a church near you. Korie Robertson, wife of Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson, and her mother, Chrys Howard, are releasing a book and DVD set of a five-week church curriculum through Zondervan. “Faith Commander: Living Five Values from the Parables of Jesus” will be released in May. “With the ‘Faith Commander’ curriculum, we took some commonly found themes that the show ‘Duck Dynasty’ actually teaches,” Robertson said in a statement. “We use these, not in a preaching sort of way, but really the kind of way that shows how we live our lives and...

Duckhorn Wine Company has a history of going after wineries that dare to use a duck in their names or labels. But this time, the winery is hunting a potentially tougher target: the self-professed “redneck royalty” of the hit A&E TV show “Duck Dynasty.” The Napa Valley winery is going after the Duck Dynasty folks because they’ve used the word “Duck” and an image of a duck on their wines. That’s right: the reality TV stars with the motto “Faith, Family and Facial Hair” who made their fortune selling duck hunting gear have launched a wine brand, called “Duck Commander.”...

All this ballyhoo and hullabaloo about the “Duck Commander” and his biblical reference – why? The blowback and national firestorm raging in the wake of the remarks by the patriarch of “Duck Dynasty” is a stunning indictment of left-wing hypocrisy. The visceral response and resultant leftist temper tantrum gives us a revealing look behind the left’s mask of intolerant tolerance and the true objective of its “pro-homosexual” agenda. People are free to think what they want. It’s when you torture, beat, hang or burn homosexual people alive – that’s the line in the sand, that’s real “homophobia.” Where’s the A&E...

Phil Robertson has spoken out for the first time since his homophobic comments in a magazine interview went public and refused to go back on his controversial remarks, saying: ‘I will not give or back off from my path.’ The Duck Dynasty patriarch led a small Bible study group in his home town church in West Monroe, Louisiana on Sunday, granting MailOnline exclusive access. And the deeply religious outdoorsman stood by his incendiary statements –

Phil Robertson has spoken out for the first time since his homophobic comments in a magazine interview went public and refused to go back on his controversial remarks, saying: ‘I will not give or back off from my path.’ The Duck Dynasty patriarch led a small Bible study group in his home town church in West Monroe, Louisiana on Sunday, granting MailOnline exclusive access. Robertson replied: ‘I didn’t think much of it at all, but it seems a lot of other people did’. And at the end of the session he led a defiant prayer, which included the words, ‘I...

If Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson is a bigot, then liberals need to (once and for all) provide scriptures that condone homosexuality, so as to support their contention that Christians can believe that the Bible - especially the New Testament (NT) - condones homosexuality. 1.) Several MSM talking heads have retorted that there are many Christians that believe that homosexual behavior isn't a sin. Fine. I imagine that since they claim to be Christians, then as followers of Christ (Christ - ians) they will surely have at least one scripture where Jesus (in the New Testament) condones homosexual behavior. 2.) If...

When word came that Phil Robertson had been "indefinitely" suspended by A&E, he was praying for a fellow church member afflicted with cancer, according to his church leader. Robertson's pastor Mike Kellett said, "There were greater things on our mind than the firestorm about this [GQ magazine] article."Speaking to CNN, Kellett said Robertson isn't worried about being suspended over what he said because he believes he told the truth: "He's very calm, and very confident that if he serves the Lord, God will take care of everything."

Click on the YouTube link below to watch Bill O'Reilly's chat with Laura Ingraham on last night's The O'Reilly Factor (12/19/2013). Bill O'Reilly quotes Luke 6:37, which is displayed on the screen: "Judge not, and you will not be judged. Condemn not, and you will not be condemned." Listen to what he has to say. Do you agree with what he has to say about "Judge not lest ye be judged..."? Now compare what he has to say with what is at Catholic.com and Catholic.org on this subject. Go to those sites and the first thing you see today is...

<p>"Duck Dynasty" isn't just a smash-hit TV show, it's a merchandising powerhouse.</p> <p>It's too soon to tell if retailers will pull the clan's products from their shelves after Phil Robertson made homophobic comments in an interview with GQ magazine. However the A&E network did suspend the reality show star.</p>

... I will defend to the death your right to say it."? I don't see many [liberals] who once seemed to advocate this saying this now. They may say that A&E has a right to protect its brand and thus suspend him indefinitely - and this may very well be true. But even so, why not ALSO say what they say (when it comes to fellow liberals saying things) - that we should defend to the death his right to say this? They can do/say both, right? Maybe the old, die-hard liberals are gone, or have become hypocrites...

Gov. Bobby Jindal has come to the defense of “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson, who has been placed on “hiatus” from the hit A&E reality series over remarks identifying gays as sinners akin to adulterers and swindlers. “Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana,” Jindal said in a statement published Thursday morning on Office of the Governor website. “The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with. I don’t agree with quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV. In fact, come to...

How a backwoods clan of bearded, gun-happy Louisiana duck hunters became America's favorite TV family. Way out Jonesboro Road in West Monroe, Louisiana, past all the Baptist churches, past the Jack Fluck realty signs, past the Guns & Gifts store, past the dog playing dead in the middle of the road, you will find Phil Robertson in the ramshackle house where he's lived with his wife, Miss Kay, for the past 37 years – a born-again, God-loving, God-fearing bayou couple if ever there was one – and maybe his gap-toothed brother, Si, too, and his boys, Willie, Jase, and Jep....

Duck Commander Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty spoke to the congregation of Saddleback church in July on why people need Jesus and why the founders would agree – and I gotta say it was awesome. I watched it last night and knew I had to post it for you guys. Duck Commander’s message is really simple, that people need to love God and love each other and he delivers it beautifully. He really is a fantastic preacher. Just watch, you’ll love it:

When "Duck Dynasty" returned for its third season last week, it was greeted by an audience of 8.6 million viewers. Pretty good for an A&E reality series about bearded bayou brethren who manufacture duck calls and love to go bird hunting. Except that's not what "Duck Dynasty" really is. Viewers who have ducked this show thus far, assuming it's just another mocking redneck display on the order of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," have it all wrong. And they're missing out. Nor, by the way, is this a show that has much to do with the duck-call business (life has...
