Leftists are absolutely apoplectic over the smackdown they've received at the hands of...gasp, an old white man whose not afraid to answer questions put to him honestly.
They really couldn't have picked a worse issue to saddle up on. Duck Dynasty is not only A&E's most popular show, it's all they've got. And let us not forget that the Robertson family was already wealthy when A&E came calling...they enjoy the extra cash, no doubt, but none of them will be driving Kia SUV's anytime in the near future no matter what A&E does. They literally have nothing to lose.
Finally, the Robertsons have made their faith their franchise. There was no way in hell Phil Robertson was going to take back a jot of what he said....in fact he's reiterated it.
Convulsive trauma on the left aside, it's beyond time the GLAAD crew got it's asses handed to them. For over 20 years, this team has specialized in the sort of hob-nail boot thuggery that made Adolph Hitler so popular. One word askew, and the GLAAD rapid response team was all over it .
Personally, I'm sick of it, and evidently so is much of America. For me, it wasn't a 1st amendment issue, I believe A&E has every right to hire and fire whomever they want for whatever reason they want. But we have the right to delete their channel from our trusty flinkers as well. The people have spoken.
So look, go ahead and have whatever bacchanals you want in the privacy of your own homes, or on the snowy peak of Brokeback Mountain, but don't presume to tell me, or anyone else that we don't have every right to call it what it is...tolerance isn't acceptance.
