And the network execs couldn’t stand it, bowing instantly to the gay agenda as practiced by GLAAD. Free markets have nothing to do with TV. It’s all now about not offending some victim group.

And it’s not about free speech either. TV networks want nothing to do with that archaic concept. They only support free speech they agree with and that most diehard lefties approve.

The conflict was inevitable. Television used to love people from what the media call flyover country. TV scored with hits such as “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “Green Acres,” “Hee-Haw,” and “Mayberry RFD.” Those were celebrations where Americans were reminded of their roots. And when country met city, it was always country that won out with homespun wisdom triumphing over big-city egos and fancy degrees.

But “Duck Dynasty” comes from another era where TV doesn’t celebrate ordinary people, it mocks them. This is the time of “Honey Boo Boo,” and “Buckwild,” the “Jersey Shore” style shows about rural people. These programs were designed so coastal liberals could watch and mock and feel better about themselves while reading their New York Times. That’s likely what A&E bosses thought they had with “Duck Dynasty.”

Boy, were they wrong.

A&E created a show that tried to make fun of rustic rubes and discovered it had inadvertently created the opposite. Instead of Hollywood values triumphing as we watched the stars’ backward ways, traditional values won out every time. They weren’t Obama’s bitter clingers. They cared for each other and kept their faith close. Each episode even ended in a family prayer. Before network execs could try to figure out what John 3:16 meant, they had created a program where faith, family and freedom ruled.

And it became wildly popular.

The bearded stars soon were everywhere, with promotions seemingly in every store. That success didn’t matter. The network still wanted to rein in its stars. Back in April, Phil Robertson said the network had even wanted to delete mentions of “Jesus” from the family prayer, trying to bleep the Savior like He was a four-letter word.

A&E didn’t want its high-profile stars mentioning Jesus. And it sure didn’t want them saying anything else out of the Bible. When Phil did, GLAAD cried foul and that was it.

Before anyone calls FOX talking points, Almost all of the above what this article stated about DD, I posted last year as my exact thoughts on the show.

They bellow and howl about how vile and evil and sinful gays are and then disregard how gays have stood up to beatings, mutilations and murder

OK where is this going on?
We're beyond any spiteful gay bashing, hurting mauling, harming and killing. I would like one single person to point out where this is being promoted anywhere in this country?

Geesh, I mean Phil should count his lucky stars that the DA hasn't showed up at his door to book him for a hate crime.

Come on Assholes doth protest too fucking much!

GI deaths overseas

Oh I see, so you want to hold Phil Robertson personally responsible for what people do over seas to a Soldier in wartime?

But you couldn't come with anything that fits into the context of what's happening over here. Again I doubt those Muslim extremists are watching Duck Dynasty about christian capitalists.

It's natural to be gay if you are gay. And it's natural for those who aren't to take a personal objection to it. Not an objection of the individual, just the right to be get the heebie jeebies at the thought of them personally being gay. It certainly is well with in their right if that's how they feel.

Call it a good day, that's as good as it gets, for those folks to just walk the other way and want no part of it, rather than to be thrust into the mix with them, when they'd just rather not. That's where problems come.

You guys just want to force everyone to eat your Green eggs and ham, with out objection or protest with a big approving smile on their face while they do it, and it's no different than if the religious right were going around(which it could be argued they did and probably still do) trying to force everyone to go to church and repent for their sins and those of their fathers.

To tell you the truth, I like Gays better than this lot that is always trying to make issues out of ones gayness and more importantly ones lack there of Gayness.

All the Gays I know will just tell you to fuck off if you don't like it, they don't make a crisis mode out of it. Unless it was a handsome guy that rejected them. And it's really no secret to them how Phil Robertson feels about Gays, they wouldn't attend a Roberton's BBQ on a bet. Not because they feel dejected by them, but because they feel the Robertson's are beneath their social payscale.

Dear Diary

I was in the middle of the parking lot of my school, and a group of cowboys surrounded me...

They took a lasso out and started throwing it around my neck...

...I was able to get it off.
...All I can remember is being surrounded by these people,
...and all I could do was just keep walking.

I just finally was able to break free from them, and got into the school.

There was a substitute teacher for my class, and I told her to lock the door, because I was afraid that they were going to come in, and harm . . . even in front of a teacher. . . . I actually made her like lock the door.

I called the administration from the in-house phones. I was so hysterical I said, "They tried to throw a neck around my rope." I was humiliated. I was embarrassed. sent me home on the same bus as these kids.

I would bet anything the instigator has suppressed Homosexual feelings, and for him/them it was homo erotic encounter, that they pulled off with out having to acknowledge they might be gay them selves.

1) they didn't string up this guy
2) he was very vague about his interaction with them other than the rope and tree.
3) he was able to get away while they are all surronding him with a rope around his neck, what did he use a kungfu chop?
4) he goes to his class and finds a Substitute teacher filling his spot.
5) he makes up a story and calls the cops
6) he mixes his bullshit up, and says "They tried to throw a neck his rope"
7) everyone gets a funny haha and he's made into a laughing stock Victim.
8) He takes the school bus home, but I thought he started out driving into work so late that no one was out in the parking lot to come to his defense when the OZ jailbreak rabble, came calling on him in the parking lot.

Did they at least tip?

But lets say his story is true, and my assessment of who the perps were is true as well.

So you have all of the Males who are totally hetero and don't give gays a second notice other than to have the opinion they are going to hell.
But the ones who are fucked over in the head, and are confused mentally and suppressed sexually and chocked with self condemnation and loathing because they are gay. I'd bet that lot has more to do with violent acts against gays in this country than the other.

Let's say you get everyone to join hands and come sing lets all get gay engaged in a human hand holding chain that spread across the nation, "WORLD" even.

Do you think that would ever stop people from deep psychological issues, who claim to hate gays, and wishes them harm while having gay tendencies them selves?

These guys are sociopaths, they have a lifetime of experience feigning affection and pretending to like someone, smiling all the time around them but pushing them off a cliff the first chance they get alone with them.

Will that STILL be Phil Robertson's fault?

As a liberal, I demand that the cast of Duck Dynasty be forced into homosexuality. Anybody who doesn't know this is what liberalism is about isn't paying attention.

Someone is willing to commit felony murder and the worst you can say about them is that they're probably a faggot. You're a swine.

Where was murder commited in your link. Sounds like a fabricated story where the guy couldn't keep his shit straight. He came to work late and got upset that they called a sub to do his job.

Secondly yeah, I'd wager that 90% of violent crimes committed against gays, is from one of their Own. I don't see how what Phil would or not say, would affect those people either way.

55   Tenpoundbass   2013 Dec 23, 2:04am

“For the sake of the Gospel, it was worth it,” Phil tells me. “All you have to do is look at any society where there is no Jesus. I’ll give you four: Nazis, no Jesus. Look at their record. Uh, Shintos? They started this thing in Pearl Harbor. Any Jesus among them? None. Communists? None. Islamists? Zero. That’s eighty years of ideologies that have popped up where no Jesus was allowed among those four groups. Just look at the records as far as murder goes among those four groups.”

He made an anecdotal observations it's not like Liberals aren't constantly guilty of that. I don't see Phil saying that, any different than the Elitist Liberals who suppose that if they weren't born rich they'll never be rich. Or that poor people are of lower intelligence than the well off Gated Community class.

57   Tenpoundbass   2013 Dec 23, 2:14am

Maybe you should ask it of Phil since he's such a hero to you.

I doubt he would talk to me, as I am a sinner and a dope smoker, I bet he has less hope for me, than he does for gays. He doesn't think I'm any different than those who commit bestiality.

But I damn well respect his right to his opinion, and has my blessing to blab it to any tabloid he damn well chooses.

And back to this guys bullshit story, that was posted with out a date the incident occurred or the community in which it occurred.

Where in the hell do you find "Cowboys" in a school parking lot?
Were they on horses, and wearing chaps? Were they sporting ten gallon hats? How do you take a story like that at face value without asking at least... "What makes you say there were Cowboys?"

Why is this not considered "Stereo typing" even in his lie?
I mean it wouldn't be the first kind of this story where a Gay person fabricated a news event that didn't happen. At least this guy didn't get crowd funded donations.

Check these out and maybe you will change your mind about me Captain:

I don't have no mind about you. You post crap about a Zionist conspiracy, and I just roll my eyes about it. I certainly don't think you should be silenced because you have those opinions.

I just don't agree. The Rich liberal gay Jews are running the world, not Zionist in a country who's only export is opposing religions.

That can't possibly sound any more ridiculous than what you say all the time.

At least the liberals try to help the poor.

You don't help the poor by indefinitely cutting them a check.

I'd be sending you fist bumps and high fives, had this administration spent as much energy on creating policy that encouraged more middle training and jobs.

And when I say "Middle Class" I don't mean for only the middle class, I mean policy that will create more middle class from anyone interested. Also if they didn't gloat about every part time job that was created. Which bt fucking w, there really wasn't any minimum wage part time jobs created. What corporations did was made a Sunday night backroom deal with the Obama Administration to Cut hours of those working 32 or more hours, to 17 hours. Essentially destroying 5 jobs where a couple working one each, could at least manage to scrape by until they moved on to better employment. To create 15 jobs that hopelessly waste people's time, and in many instances, the job paid less than the gas and other expenses they paid out, made economic, to make sense to even work that job.

In return these corporations got to be exempt from Obamacare.

It's not that so many of these jobs are added every week, it's that making a living from these jobs is so impossible that the turn over rate is high.

The average lifespan of a part time employee in 2013 was less than 3 months.

Bite my ass, the Liberals help the poor.

"We're from the Government we're here to help!"

Beware indeed!

You keep going back to Phil in order to hide your own ignorance about abuse of gays in America. But since you look up to him so reverently I'll tell what I think of him. He himself would not abuse gays, but his condemnation of them is the foundation that promotes the abuse in others. His vocalizations of condemnation draw criticism from Liberals, and conservatives come breathlessly running to his support. You did. Suddenly poor Phil is suffering more than the queers ever did even though gays have been killed simply as a matter of pride. Could you imagine the carnage that would transpire if one straight guy in the south was beaten to death by a gang of angry gay men? It's such cowardice to bray about freedom of speech and religion, and to claim you're being abused on a level equal to that visited upon the people your speech and religion vilify.

Pure projection.

Plenty of straight guys have been beat to death by a gay person with repressed feelings. Remember Gacye, Dalmer, Bundy should I give you the California death row roster for the last 50 to 60 years?

Gay bars around here have a reputation of being tough, meaning not even the biggest baddest homophobes would dare go in there and talk shit. Less they want to end up on the receiving end of Jailhouse justice?

So yeah, they are repulsed while at the same time, scared that if they went looking for any trouble, then they might get turned out.

Oh yeah, speaking of which, where was all of the fake outrage against HBO, when they created OZ which pretty much outlines exactly what goes on in most prisons in the United States and the world. That makes it seem jail is full of Gays and Queers?

I read somewhere in history books that homosexuality in old Roman empire was a sign of dominance. Where old men would seek out young men and do what they thought was a sign of privilege. Today these groups pretend it's about rights, in reality it's just a bunch of sick and vile old pedophiles seeking to abuse young boys.

One night on Boylston Street, I just got off work from a store near Yawkey Way, and this Italian Guy comes walking from a gay club down the street - all angry as hell.

He runs up to me and says "Those guys tried to FUCK me! Can you believe that shit? They tried to fuck me!!!" half-drunk and in a rage. Then he jumps in the street and smacks a passing car's side mirror.

Now this guy had a little twinkle in his eye, and you have to be a mega-idiot not to comprehend "Ramrod Night". That and the club is festooned with gay and drag posters outside, and almost everybody on line is male. I think he went in, did a little dirty dancing, but when somebody grabbed his crotch he flipped out due to all the family/religious crap.

But yeah, lots of angry repressed gays in the world still. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

The outrage was churning in the tortured psyches of America's conservatives who are just too repressed to don the mantel of free speech and express their alleged minds. I thought that was what you're all about, you know, being the downtrodden demographic and all. I'm surprised you asked.

So you're saying that only Liberal social artists are allowed to create gay themed subject content? And everyone else should just pretend the don't even exist, other than answer "YES" to what ever they ask or say, the quickly just look back down.

When they tied that poor kid to the fence and stoned him to death I bet they thought he was trying to suck them off the whole time. I mean really, did they have any choice? A guy's got his pride, ya know?

SBH, I think you're taking my post the wrong way.

It's about some Boston Italian kid struggling with his own demons about being gay. In no way justifies some Wyoming kid getting beaten up for being gay.

Some gays, like some heterosexuals, get violent when dealing with their issues, whatever they might be, sexual or from a history of child abuse or emotional or whatever. Pointing this out shouldn't be heretical.

If I had a dollar for every guy who threw a beer bottle or broke something when their inner demons get loosed from alcohol, I'd be richer than Gates.

What bugs me is guys like the Captain who prop up bigotry simply in a knee jerk support of anyone on the right, and do so using what the neo-rightist have employed the last two decades: calling lefties racists guilty of reverse discrimination or some such blather. When you recall the contortions people went through to fabricate justifications for "their side" in the Martin/Zimmerman debate you see how weary the conservatives are of wearing the jacket of prejudice and bigotry. They undertake any gymnastic to put it on a mannequin that sits on the left. That's the Captain in spades. Say anything, anything at all, and be sure to call your opponent guilty of what you've been stuck with for years.

You of all people I don't owe anything.

I'm sure most here would call me a racist, but I would also bet that I respect people of all race, religion and cultures more than anyone here.

I celebrate people's differences you people want to put us all in a Liberal sausage grinder and spit mentally and sexually confused liberal servants and wards of the State.

To me you people are no different than the Dukes, Sirs and Viceroys in Ireland in the middle ages who rapped all of the women because they wanted to breed out the Irish.

The way a NPR segment narrator, can present his point of view about cultures from South America while calling "Chicha" music of detergents, gets a free pass, because some overly educated shit head is projecting about culture on the tax payers dime again.
But catch to White GOP senators discussing the American black culture and their music using the same semantics, and the sound byte will be taken out of context and blasted all over the social media calling them racists.

You might call me a racist, I don't care really, but you'll never be able to call me a hypocrite, and all of my colorful friends will agree with me on that. At the end of the day, that's all that matters to me. Are my friends and how they view me, not you basket full of fruitcakes from the west coast.

As long as my friends like Magic and Tim and Peto says I'm cool, that's all I'm worried about.

They are coming over in a bit for to jam some music and drink a few beers, would you like me to ask them anything?

I respect all cultures and races, and don't think anyone is inferior nor superior to the other.

What I don't like is this Uniculture of confused misguided souls that has no heritage, tradition, values, or identity. With all of this missing from everyone regardless of race, the world is loosing a lot more than a few John Earl's in East Mississipi.

All of those things are missing in this modern Uniculture.

Regardless of race or culture those things were always present, and universally across the board. The only thing that changed was the attire for the occasions and the decorations.

With this Uniculture people wont know their boundaries, or respect for any implied boundaries. We'd all be no good sons of bitches no better or worse than each other. But more importantly lack the home upbringing to know the difference.

I'd rather live in Mongolia in a Yurt, or a Lima on the side of a dirt hill in a makeshift shack, that to live in the America where we/and much of the International world is headed.

At least if I were living in those places they would know I'm laughing with them and not at them.

So in closing I probably don't like you, but I love all races and cultures.

Robertson hates gay people. Robertson in 2010: " Women with women, men with men, they committed indecent acts with one another, and they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions. They’re full of murder, envy, strife, hatred. They are insolent, arrogant, God-haters. They are heartless, they are faithless, they are senseless, they are ruthless. They invent ways of doing evil."

you seem to not comprehend Sexual Addiction.. and if you know anything and SA, is thats its self destructive and will destroy the people around you...

Yes, Robertson was right even about State - Shintoisms... it was a corrupt state govt created religion married to militarism as Japan invaded much of Asia. Much has been written during WW2 about it. Most Japanese are not Shintoist but Buddhist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto#State_Shinto

Although the government sponsorship of shrines declined, Japanese nationalism remained closely linked to the legends of foundation and emperors, as developed by the kokugaku scholars. In 1890, the Imperial Rescript on Education was issued, and students were required to ritually recite its oath to "offer yourselves courageously to the State" as well as to protect the Imperial family. Such processes continued to deepen throughout the early Shōwa period, coming to an abrupt end in August 1945 when Japan lost the war in the Pacific. On 1 January 1946, Emperor Shōwa issued the Ningen-sengen, in which he quoted the Five Charter Oath of Emperor Meiji and declared that he was not an akitsumikami.

People are using the Bible to validate and endorse bigotry. One hundred years ago it was using the Bible to justify slavery. Bigotry will fall just like slavery did. We pick and choose what parts of the Bible we sanction. When is the last time someone sacrificed an animal for God? It's in the Bible.

It's free speech you can say what you want but you can't dictate the terms on how someone will respond to it. He made his employer look bad he paid the price. I think he will be reinstated after this blows over. He makes too much money for A&E and I don't think they want to be seen as talking sides between Democrats and Republicans.
