Duck Dynasty on TheBlaze” has a nice ring to it, according to Glenn Beck.
One day after Phil Robertson’s comments about homosexuality earned him an indefinite suspension from the hit series “Duck Dynasty” on A&E, Beck offered the entire Robertson family a place on his own network.
“[All the other networks] will fold to pressure,” he said. “They will all fold to sponsors. They will all fold to money because they are all in over their eyeballs are debt … the only reason why Phil was put on hiatus and not the rest is because it is a money-printing machine.”
Beck said as he sees it, the Robertson family has a choice to make.
“If I am in the Robertson family, I sit down with my family and say, ‘Is this the way we’re going to [let] him be treated? Is this who we are? Are we going to [be] quiet because he has an opinion about the scriptures?’”

Beck said that based on what he knows about the family, they’re not going to continue as though nothing happened. He went so far as to suggest that the entire family call GQ Magazine, where Robertson’s comments appeared, and tell them nothing but, “I agree with Phil.”
“You will either be out, or you will be the most powerful people the country has ever seen on television,” Beck said. “You already have all of the juice you’re ever gonna get … And if you take a stand and they fire you … we’ll be on the phone.”
“We would be proud to have you,” he added.
Beck concluded: “May I suggest: Make your stand. You will never have a better chance. And quite honestly, you’re our best shot as people. If we don’t get people to wake up to the fact that this is fascism, that we are not allowed to have another opinion … they’re never going to wake up. And you’re our best shot.”
IMO, more conservative and christian hollywood types, should band together and start creating tv and movies that MOST of America want to see. I hope with Glenns ventures into movies and tv, that he can get more peeps on board to do these kinds of things, and help provide more of an avenue for those that want to jump in.
It is fun to watch The Blaze grow from nothing to this- and I expect it to be a multimedia powerhouse in 10 years
I am trying to go to work for them
It’s time for decent, traditional values Americans to stand up to the PC/diversity (so long as you AGREE WITH US)/tolerance (IF YOU DON’T TOLERATE OUR WARPED VALUES AND OUR EFFORTS TO TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN WE WILL DESTROY YOU) HYPOCRITES and tell them that the resistance has finally begun!
Are you willing to move to Dallas/Ft Worth?
That’s not their only location, but if it were me, you’d get a big YES!
Yes! And A & E can have their goose cooked for Christmas...
THIS is the opportunity America needs and has been waiting for ... a name figure to just say no and GFY.
All the R's have to do is publically announce their decision to build their own radio or TV station and ask for engineers, builders, lawyers, whatever ... and they'd have all they'd need.
Once construction started, we'd NEVER EVER hear again about cankles and fatboy and immigration and whatever.
THEY'D be the story of the century.
Jay Carney would sputter in his soup ... uh .. the President is firm on his stand against the Robertson's rebellious behavior ...
:: Beck said...Are we going to [be] quiet because he has an opinion about the scriptures? ::
Interesting statement from someone who denies the Scriptures as the true Word of God.
We have plenty of church of Christ congregations here in the vast area known as the Metroplex. They attend the White's Ferry Road church over in West Monroe, LA.
My congregation had a pro-God, pro-family, pro-military and pro-gun preacher. Most of us carry our guns to services and yes, that includes the preacher. And I'll add that when we take a coffee break between Sunday school and the main services, our conversation with the deacons, elders and other members invariably turns to the unspeakable evil that the Obama regime has brought to America. To a man, Senator Ted Cruz is well liked and highly respected. It's likewise with Governor Sarah Palin.
I would love to be a fly in the wall during the Robertson family meetings that are no doubt going on today.
God bless and guide them. They will come out of it better than ever.
Your hjome page is a treasure chest ... thank you.
There, corrected, per the politically correct Arse & Endturdtame-ment Network

Hope the Robinsons tell A&E goodbye..”We will live by our faith.
Um, I live in Denton.
It’s that whole Mormon thing.
Thank you. It’s been called many things but yours is one of the kinder names.:-)
Beck is Mormon.
