Seriously?
Because we enjoy the show and like the family and watch it with our family.
(and we’re tired of the two faced, intolerant “tolerance” crowd always being in our faces).
I didn't UNTIL A&E brought this thing into the headlines. NOW I'm interested. Interested enough to contact A&E and let them know my displeasure over suspending Phil. I watched a few minutes of the program a long time ago and just didn't "get it".
Well, because it is a great family show promoting Christian ideals (for the most part). It is funny and wholesome. WHY would ANYONE not care about the treatment of Phil Robertson? Phil was simply paraphrasing 1 Corinthians 6:9.
What's your personal favorite TV show, CM?
NY Daily News headlines it as SCHMUCK DYNASTY. Maybe that will attract viewers in NYC.
Because it is the only show on TV that you can watch with your children that doesn’t have gratuitous sex scenes, filthy language and liberal brainwashing agendas.
Seriously?
The family is genuine and every episode they give thanks to God for their blessings.
A seemingly good and decent person is being unfairly targeted and abused by powerful elites. It upsets people.
It’s actually a really funny show with a good Christian moral to each episode wrapped up with the family prayer at dinner time at the end.
You have not been paying attention… it is not about the show. A person spoke about his faith and was asked specifically about sin and homosexuality. Phil answered in a biblical manner and essentially was fired for speaking his faith. YOU and everyone else should be outraged at this. The ‘truth’ patrol will be knocking on your door next saying you said something to someone that was offensive. This is a threat to anyone who wishes to be able to speak openly. This country is a very short distance from out lawing biblical teaching and the Bible. YOU and everyone else should care about this
A&E started Duck Dynasty as a way to poke fun at their lifestyle. Mockery. Now they have an unexpected hit on their hands and the stars of the show use their success to speak out on Christianity.
Liberal A&E would rather lose the ratings than allow conservative viewpoints to be expressed. While this is not a first ammendment issue, it is certainly an illustration of the lengths that the entertainment industry will go to silence Christians.
i don’t care about Duck Dynasty; never watched it and rarely watch TV, but the hypocrisy should outrage everyone and I, for one, am glad its getting this kind of coverage...
think of it like this; the same whiney liberals who are screaming about this guys views on homosexuality think NOTHING of referring to you or i as “tea baggers”....
Clearly, you don’t. Why would anyone bother to answer your question? Why do you even ask it? Does it make you feel superior?
I watched a couple of episodes. It’s not really my cup of tea, although I do like the various Storage Wars shows on A&E. But the big picture here is the precedent set. If professing a Biblical point of view is unacceptable in one major corporation, especially a media corporation, it will over time become the norm in corporate culture in general. If expressing such a view risks future career opportunities, it will have, to use a phrase the liberal media loves, a “chilling effect” on freedom of religion and speech. So although I’m neither a fan of the show nor a Christian, I think it’s important.
The Hitler principle. First they came for Duck Dynasty, and you said nothing. Next they’ll come after you.
There is a war on Christianity in this country. Like most liberal movements it got its foothold decades ago with a radical change, taking prayer out of the schools, that current generations grew up not knowing any other way. After a while they got birth control and condoms into the schools to promote promiscuity and premarital sex. And now they’re sending in the “gay activists” to teach your kids how to practice homosexuality in the name of “tolerance.”
As of this year, we’ve now seen that “gay rights” are now being used as the excuse to steal constitutional rights away from Christians, via assaults on the freedoms of wedding photographers, cakemakers and now Phil Robertson. In parallel, “health care rights” are being used to force churches to participate in abortions.
It’s not hard to imagine where this will go next. There will be continually unfolding lists of regulations every church must follow in order to keep their “licenses.” People will be fired, fined, locked up and have the state take away their children because they committed “hate speech” by trying to teach the bible.
But it sounds like you want to ignore what’s happening, let everyone else get carted off in the trains, and wait until they come knocking out your door to worry about it, by which point it will be too late.
First they came for Duck Dynasty, but I didn't watch Duck Dynasty so I did nothing.................”
Seriously! Seriously?
I have no doubt people will question why you would ask this question, but I agree.
I totally support this guy's right to say this and have no doubt he and his family are good people.
But I have never watched the show and also wonder why anybody cares to watch a show about this particular family. The guy who runs the deli down the street is a nice guy with a fun family, but I don't want to watch a show about them either.
Do they juggle or shoot people out of cannons or tell jokes or sing wonderfully? They just look like a bunch of dudes with beards to me. I don't understand why anybody tunes in.
