Don't Ask Me About Duck Dynasty

Our American society has gone goofy. Last week the MSM was in a huff about whether or not Santa Claus was white. The same went for Jesus Christ. Too bad for us that we didn't have that discussion about George Zimmerman. Phil Robertson has been suspended/fired from the all-time leading cable TV show, Duck Dynasty. Mr. Robertson, in an interview with GQ, said things about gays and their lifestyle that the A&E television network thought inappropriate. I was listening to our local radio station this morning, 610 AM out of Columbus, Ohio. The announcer stated that people shouldn't make any comments on any media outlets because: (a) most people have never seen the show and (b) they don't know one thing about Robertson. The announcer is correct. People in this communication age think they have the right to blow smoke and be self-imposed experts on anything and everything because they can send a text.  According to the announcer Robertson was a 60's hippie, sex-drugs-and rock n' roll and all that jazz. He also said that Robertson was an excellent college football player and was trying out for the Washington Redskins except, when hunting season came along he thought that was more important that playing with a piece of oblong leather so he went home. It was some time after this that he found Jesus Christ. I don't know if this is true or not. I don't care. Robertson was giving his own personal views to GQ; freedom of speech if you will. So, members of GLADD raised a ruckus with A&E and now the guy's gone. Once again, it never ceases to amaze me that a group of people with around 2% of the population can have so much power. Gays have a ton of money, my friends, and that makes a huge difference.
I cannot comment on the Duck Dynasty situation any more than I have. I've never seen the show. I've never heard any of them speak except for a nice looking young man who was on the television show, The Five. He was very intelligent and very funny. Oh, I do know they, all of them, are outspoken Christian conservatives. They wear camo clothes and live in the South, maybe. But, then again, I don't know.
Here's something to chew on. We're(Obama and Kerry) and the rest of their ilk busting butts to restore a relationship with Iran. Good Allah, we've bent over backwards to suck up to these nuke hungry killers. There's a social problem with this. Not only Iran, but in the world, if you happen to be of the Muslim faith homosexuality is illegal under Sharia Law. If you are to be a gay blade type then it's tough nuts for you. The powers to be wouldn't take away your TV show. They'd lop off your head and put it on a pike. That's not only scary, it's reality. And it's much more important that anything Phil Robertson can say is whether or not Santa Claus is white.
