Duck Dynasty Family Releases Statement In
Support Of Phil Robertson
Duck Dynasty
Phil Robertson of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show
took a stand and millions of Christians are standing with him. A&E
hastily fired Robertson from his own show, over comments he made in
GQ magazine stating he doesn't understand why men would prefer an
anus over a vagina, referring to homosexuality. Millions share his
view and are outraged A&E fired Robertson over these statements, due
to pressure from the "gay mafia" in Hollywood.
Christians on social networking are now deliberately
not watching A&E at all in protest. A&E is being very unwise in its
conduct. "Duck Dynasty" is its top show and biggest hit it's ever
had. It's also the top reality series in television history. In a
nation that is 70% Christian, it's not a wise idea to offend such a
large demographic who are now simply refusing to watch the entire
network under a boycott.
99 percent of networks in the world only exist for
advertising revenues, which is how they pay their bills and staff
and turn a profit. With low ratings, advertisers will not pay to
advertise on A&E (because who'd be watching - that's wasted money).
This could likely lead to the network going under if this boycott
goes on for an extended period of time. The network's cash reserves
will run out and bankruptcy will hit.
What I find hypocritical about the "gay mafia" and
their conduct in this matter is so many mainstream movies and
television shows coming out of Hollywood contain scenes of gay men
disparaging women's breasts and vaginas in degrading ways. Said
items also contain scenes of gays mocking heterosexuals for being
straight. There are Hollywood movies and shows with gay men calling
women "fish" and "trash" among other names and trying to convince
men they don't need vagina.
At the end of the day, straight people don't get
their drawers in a knot and just chalk it up to gays not liking
women. However, a straight man in Louisiana makes the same
observation but in reverse, in a less crass manner and gay Hollywood
gets vicious. That's called a double standard. That's called
hypocrisy.
Christians need to stand up and send a very clear
message to Hollywood that there will be serious financial
consequences (boycott) for violating our right to free speech. The
Constitution does not say Hollywood can say whatever it wants, but
the rest of the country can't. The Constitution applies in Hollywood
and Louisiana and every other state in America.
It's time for Hollywood and its fickle, thin
skinned, hateful mouthpiece GLAAD to grow up. Everyone is entitled
to their opinion. Stop bullying people and trying to force folks
into silence. For an industry and organization that often claims
gays are bullied, you sure do your share of bullying and attacking
everyone that doesn't share your opinion. That game is getting very
tired and people have stopped listening.
A wise man once said choose your battles wisely.
Well, you chose the wrong battle this time and you're going to get
your butts handed to you, pardon the pun (What? gays in Hollywood
can call women "fish" on screen and I can't make a butt joke).
STATEMENT FROM ROBERTSON FAMILY:
Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbor as yourself." Phil would never incite or encourage hate. We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.
