Duck Dynasty

[jt's kennel]

jt's kennel Phil was not at work when said what he said, he was not on an A&E set doing duck dynasty so your premise is all wrong. He was doing an interview completely separate of the show. I hope the family stands together and takes the number 1 show right off of A&E.

Golden acres I'm not a big fan of Nugent but would that be any worse than saying you'd cast another vote for a guy who was impeached and convicted of lieing, just saying.

Rabbithound, Unlike most of us our work does not include a contract, I'm sure there are things on his contract that he signed that he cannot do outside of work. It's no different than a athlete signs a contract and he cannot do certain things like ride a motorcycle!!!

I tried watching duck dynasty not reality tv, they use the show to give life lessons on there view point on life. there point of view is that homosexualality is a devent lifestyle .were I live that's a pretty popular opinion .you can read the bible up and down and grab $hit out of it to justify almost anything . I raised 6 kids ,all I ever asked of them was to be tolerate .every person that posted on this post won't have to go back more than 2 generations to have a homosexual relative .I live in a town with around 1000 people ,who would want to be a homo here,nobody .all I'm saying is everybody has an opinion and intitled to it. we can't let a popular tv show be the answer .America is going to implode if we get all our lnfo. from reality tv. form your own opinion ,this guy is not going any farther with this he will tuck tail and run for the money his family will make

jt I don't know whats in his contract but I know he wasn't at work when he said any of the comments being repeated. This family owns a multi million dollar buisness I don't think there the kind of folks that would sign a contract where there freedoms where limited, I could always be wrong. Jim I don't think people who have posted thinks the T.V show is the answer, I think most who posted just agree for the most part with what Phil said. Tolerance and promotion are 2 different things. I have nothing against LBGT but I certainly am against same sex marriage as I believe it goes against traditional family values, period. So I'm with Phil.

I have to say I agree with what Phil had to say... From my own personal beliefs and convictions. Do I think this was a media blitz to get attention to raise the shows ratings? No. I personally do not think so. I think they asked Phil his opinion on a touchy subject, and he gave them his feelings, and used scripture from the Bible to back it up. God and prayer is out of the school system, and it seems the push is going on to keep it off television as well. This is the path that America is currently headed. It is hard to be Politically Correct, Tolerant, or not accused of a hate crime if you read and the follow the Bible. What is so sad is that our nation, which has In God We Trust on our currency, and supposed to be a democracy..... seems to be allowing a disgruntled few with money. tell the majority what we can and can not believe or say.
GLAAD done a big media blitz, and got in a big uproar because a man gave his opinion and beliefs. Now we even have a network suspending him, and I heard "Cracker Barrel Restaurant Chain" is removing all Duck Dynasty products and stating people like Phil were no longer welcomed? Now the beloved GLAAD and their affiliates have noticed the majority of public opinion is not behind them, so they are now misconstruing Phils words to say he is a racist? I really have to ask.... Would there be as much of an uproar if a homosexual mocked or disagreed with the heterosexual lifestyle? I mean seriously when is the American public going to grow a back bone, wake up, and say enough is enough?

Question,

If he couldn't talk bout Gay marriage then why did they ask him the question. I read that in the first season they were bleeping out words that wasn't even cuss words. A&E thought it would spice up the show, Phil put a stop to it saying they don't cuss. In the last couple seasons I read where they wanted Phil and family to quit praying at meals. Seems like to me A&E set Phil up to answer a question that they knew he would likely get himself in a mess.


I really like this passage of scripture...

Esphians 6:10-18


10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Phil should have taken lessons from Tim tebow on how to deal with media questions!!!
I don't agree with how they did this, I watch duck dynasty and like it, all I was trying to get at is when you sign a contract you have to do as it's said or you loose your job.

anybody that stands for the word of God, I am with him....

Amen brother. Stand for something. Or fall for anything.what's a bible thumper?




It comes from preachers thumping their hands down on the Bible, or thumping the Bible itself, to emphasize a point that came from a book , verse , or passage they were quoting. While I might know a few passages they rarely come up in daily conversations.

jt you speak as if you have read his contract. I have not heard A&E report that he went against his contract. He simply said something not politically correct, upset the immoral and A&E apparently decided which side they roll with.

How did that work out for Tebow, which NFL team is it he is playing for.

[jt's kennel]

Rabbithound I haven't read his contract, he is not the first person that this has happens to. Tebow isn't playing because he doesn't have the ability, but he dealt with the media better than anyone I have seen. I personally wouldn't jeopardize all that money over something as stupid as an interview, I have my own beliefs when it comes to this stuf but I wouldn't go on tv and say it.

[Rabbithoundjb]

Really Tebow lead a team to the playoffs and won a playoff game. He could have said whatever he wanted to, he still wouldn't be in the NFL. He won a college national championship, the hiesman, and an nfl playoff game and he doesn't have the talent. HHMM!

Phil was asked a question, he answered it, period. He spoke of what he believes where's the tolerance for that.

you go ahead and think that tebow may have been a great college qb ,not even average nfl qb.maybe phil thought he was bigger than a and e network

Ohhhhhhh how the wind blows. Remember my last post stated Cracker Barrel no longer wanted Duck Dynasty products or anyone or anything like Mr Robertson on their shelves?

backing up Phil 100%

[Rabbithoundjb]

No Jim just maybe unlike most people Phil Robertson has the conviction to speak what he believes and not tuck his tale between his legs and allow society to speak for him. I feel fairly confident he didn't worry one way or another about A&E after all they didn't make him a multi millionaire. Him and his family only gave them the number one show on T.V. I suspect if that goes away or moves to another network A&E will loose a lot more than the Robertson's.

Jim Matuszewski, good post. I occasionally get invited to a social gathering or two every year and I accepted the invitation for one a couple of months back. over some drinks we guys were talking and the subject of gays came up. Here is what one guy had to say. He asked why we thought white women in general have a much better opinion of black folks than white men, He answer was " at one time while white women were struggling to gain social standing and equality white men were fighting them back on it, the Blacks struggle to gain the same equal standing was what took the pressure off of women as the white man now spent his efforts against the blacks. he pointed out that Blacks in general have a much better relationship with Hispanics as the white man now turned his efforts toward the Hispanics relieving some of the pressure on the Blacks. once again he pointed out that Hispanics generally have a much better attitude toward the Gays as the white man is currently spending his efforts to assure that they don't receive equal standing taking some of the pressure off of them, I am not sure who the gays are going to have as a savior, but I am quite sure that it speaks badly about some of us that any group needs one!
