if anyone can shed some light on the honky thing though....

This doesn't really have anything to do with A&E or the stupid television show but we do know that the naacp regularly stirs of this kind of shit. It's about all they have left to do.

Edit sorry about the speech to text glitches...

NO. Phil would not like another chance to backtrack, as in changing his opinion.

Of course he'd like another chance to say the same thing. I've seen the man in person, and he

knows what he believes, why he believes it, and nothing is going to change that.

And we've eaten at Cracker Barrell plenty of times, with all sorts of black families there.

Perhaps you think they had to sit outside or something, but that's just bs on the racial favoritism.

Or, perhaps you mean the cool stuff at their entrance stores, that don't have any pictures

of Jesse Carpetbagger Jackson, etc.

Sorry Cal, anyone who knows anything knows Cracker Barrel is prejudiced against blacks at least. No wonder they love Phil.

Also, LOVE how the Duck Dynasty producer starred in a movie about Gay Porn. This is all about the money and publicity. A&E & DD got their publicity, now back to filming...

@legacy-fan said:

Cal, you mentioned that Phil would not like another chance to answer the question, yet he did take an opportunity to clarify.

Actually appreciated his clarification. His comments about dangerous "microbes" out there are spot on and more discussion needs to happen on those topics, especially in religious circles.

Amazing what you can do when someone holds your feet to the fire...

I don't like to answer questions? 90% of the shit on this board isn't a question worth answering. "Now prove how those damn libs and Obamao aren't ruining America!" No need to waste that time.

Steve, your description there really had nothing to do with the whole "Real America" bullshit. Yes everyone is free to believe what they want, I have said that multiple times. This is not a distinction between American and unamerican. It is "Real America" I am looking at.

Jesus christ you cynical bastard. I don't think I said 1/6th of any of that in my post. Of course elections are cynical. I never said they weren't. You could say in this last cycle most of America didn't want to hear that "Real America" bullshit. We will see how next election goes, but it looks like the Republicans might have to loosen up their stance on some social issues. When did I say my awesome generation is going to change the world? Literally, show me where I typed that. No its cool, I'll wait....

@calfoxwc said:

Oh bullshit Cal. You "Real America" is some small town, mom and pop, christian, god fearing, 1950s whatever. I'm sure I messed up what you were going to say by insulting it before you actually said it. My bad. That caused you to try to change it no doubt.

I would love to know, if that is your definition of "Real America", how I don't fit? Do you think I am trying to "oppress" your opinion and squash it out? You seem to not understand the meaning of hypocrisy, so I am not surprised. I love how you can turn it and say I am the one who won't respect another idea when we constantly here from you how those damn libs just fucked everything up.

Idk why I tried to get an actual response from you. That was stupid.

Trying to distinguish at all between "Real America" and "not Real America" is dumb. We are all Americans. Differing ideas or whatever. Using the term "Real America" at any point is closed minded, condescending, ignorant, etc. It was born to make you "real patriots" feel better about yourselves. Like you are fighting some kind of culture war to save apple pies and baseball.

"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin apologized yesterday for implying that some parts of the country are more American than others, even as similar comments by two Republican congressmen were causing a backlash that threatened their chances for reelection. In an interview on CNN, Palin said comments she made last week in North Carolina praising small towns as "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation" were not intended to suggest that other parts of the country are less patriotic or less American."

What, then, set him apart from Osama bin Laden?

WSS

Would you be upset if someone called them un American? Or do you think that they are good, real, Americans even though their views are not the mainstream? I know you don't like questions (if you can't answer them without showing the holes in your logic) but just to clarify a few things you belly ache about...

WSS

is completely off base and invalid so you can bitch about said "definition"..

"smarting off" is all you have, woody. That's pretty sad.

Hint:

Real America isn't perverted, and is comprised of reps, dems, and inds...and religious and not religious.

Real America respects our Constitution, our military, and freedom. Real America knows there are opinions

differing everywhere, but mostly they respect others' disagreeing as fine.

Real America isn't woodpeckers. You aren't real America.

Get a clue for once.

@mld-woody said:

oh god.... that "Real America" bullshit. I haven't heard that in awhile.

Cracker Barrel is fantastic though. So I guess I can't argue. Not that I would, because it was all A&Es decision.

Please Cal. Define "Real America" for me. Tell me what is and isn't part of "Real America". Then look at your list and figure out why "Real America" lost the last two elections...

The nature of elections is cyclical. That's just s stupid uninformed remark. Liberals lost the two before that. Conservatives lost two before that. Liberals lost three before that. Get with the program. Don't worry. Next election the liberals will be out on their asses crying about gay marriage and legal pot from the sidelines. I chuckle a little that you still think your awesome generation is going to change the world, because my awesome generation was going to change the world, remember? My parents awesome generation of hippies was supposed to change the world. You know what they changed? The same thing your generation will. Jack shit.

and now A&E has reinstated Phil Robertson to the show immediately.

Perhap they thought all of America is gay and black.

Freakin idiots, wiser now, since Real America stood up to them, and lambasted them

with hundreds and hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions, insisted they

immediately do what they just did.

Real America isn't perverse, nor hateful of religion, nor freedom of speech, and they'll stand

up for what's right.

@calfoxwc said:

Good to know

Disagreeing with Cal = being extremely intolerant

Really, that link? Seriously?

Come on, man. Read Phil's book. He's been who he is for the last 38 years, and before that,

he was who he was, which was not a very good guy.

Read his book. There isn't anything fake about him. That's the point, in a big way.

And "these guys are fake" ??? Read the other two books. See it from when they were kids.

That goes for Phil and Si, and the three sons. Your instincts are that much on this subject.

We met people in West Munroe, in passing, who admire the Robertsons because they really are, and

always have been, exactly the people you see on TV.

Cept you never watched the show, never read the books, never been there, never talked to folks

that know them.

Haha! Anyway I can't help but suspect this whole thing is set up to sell products.

Point number 2 is even less meaningful... Just as Schopenhauer was writing his post I was simultaneously having two hotdogs for lunch.

For someone so intelligent, you sure picked a stupid link to prove your point.

As for the kids, I bet you can drum up some pics of yourself from your teenage years when you probably looked pretty douchey. I know I've got some in my parent's attic.

They adopted the "duck man" look when they started doing the videos with Phil and when they bought the company from him - well before reality TV.

Source: me, someone who's duck hunted with my dad since Bernie was our QB.

Here's a less vindictive, butt-hurt article on the Robertson's pre-fame & pre-"controversy"

http://www.sportsspectrum.com/articles/2013/03/23/duck-dynasty-how-it-almost-never-happened/

Looks like they hooked themselves a sucker. I thought it was all about the money, looks like I was right.

You can rail on about libs all you want, These guys are fake. I know you met them, you were fooled.

This link has the best pics and quotes bible verses to contradict Phil's entire being pretty much. I chose the site because it has the before and after pictures. There are other sites reporting this, check out Crooks and Liars too.

Add a beard and camo and you have instant redneck. LOVE the quote where Phil says he hates yuppies,..hilarious. Can we be done with these fools now?

Seriously bro, you need to lighten up and use some of your vaunted critical thinking skills. I'm willing to give you a break, but not when you act the fool.

Duck Dynasty is Fake: Sons Were Yuppies!

The left generally is extremely intolerant of any different opinion. MMGW. Check. gay? Check.

Christian viewpoints? Check.

2nd Amendment? Check. Against the welfare state? Check. Against abortion? Check.

Support the military? Check.

And on and on it goes. Any leftwing agenda demands conformity. that's why they hate what they can't control.

Perversion and sin, is perversion and sin. Free to be gay - freedom to provoke consequences.

Wait, that isn't correct to the left. And, it's said to be wrong, because the left is anti-everything they don't like,

and they use priciples like using two sides of a piece of paper. They go with one when it's convenient, then

they go the opposite principle, when it's convenient. And it all ends up no principles at all. Just a bunch

of flip flopping garbage rationalization.

Here's an excellent article defending Phil (who HAS at least seen the show....)
