Duck Dynasty … and the God Given Right to be Stupid
www.bernardgoldberg.com
Just when the paranoia over the so-called War on Christmas was cooling down, here comes Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family stirring things up all over again. By now you know that Phil gave an interview to GQ in which he said some not-so-kind things about gays. A&E, the network that airs Duck Dynasty – the most popular reality show on television – suspended him, proving what we already know: that in Hollywood the gay lobby has a lot more clout than the conservative Christian lobby. However, in that sliver of America between Manhattan and Malibu, it’s the other way around. And so, the backlash kicked in. Conservatives -- especially conservative Christians -- are mad as hell and they’re telling us they’re not going to take it anymore. They say they’ll boycott A&E if Phil isn’t brought back. (He will be. Tens of millions of dollars, maybe hundreds of millions, are on the line. Have no fear Duck Dynasty fans: Phil will return.)
