The Best Primer for Phil Robertson’s ‘Duck Dynasty’ Controversy
-By Warner Todd Huston
If you are like many folks, you’ll have missed the beginning of the controversy over comments about homosexuality made by Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson and you’ll have heard about it only after everyone started talking about it. So, you may have missed the meat of the matter by listening only to the commentators yammering about what Phil said. But if you want the whole story in one well written piece, check out David J. Theroux’s “Duck Dynasty and the Secular Theocracy” because it’ll give you the whole story from the beginning.
In a two part posting, Theroux, founder and president and CEO of The Independent Institute, did a fantastic job relaying what Robertson said and the reaction it fostered.
In part one Theroux details Robertson’s December interview in GQ magazine where he paraphrased a Bible-based list of sins one of which is the act of homosexuality. Then the author goes on to review the initial reaction to those comments.

The 2014 World Watch List of the 50 worst places in the world to be a Christian has been released showing all the usual suspect nations where Christians face daily persecution.
Since the American invasion of Iraq and later as the so-called Arab Spring has grown, persecution of Christians has exploded across the world–most especially in the middle east and Africa.

School Bus Drivers Punished For Praying for Deceased Child
-By Warner Todd Huston
Five Houston, Texas school bus drivers have been disciplined for supposedly “misusing school equipment” by using bus radios to pray for a co-worker whose daughter was killed by a car as she walked to school.
The five Houston Independent School District bus drivers had “disciplinary letters” placed in their employment files for using a back channel to pray together after another driver’s 12-year-old daughter was run down while walking home from school on December 16, the media reported.
In response to this unfair disciplinary action, several drivers, their union representatives, and local ministers gathered in front of the Houston schools administration building to publicly protest the move and also to publicly pray for a resolution to the situation.

‘Duck Dynasty’ Family Looking to Dump A&E!
-By Warner Todd Huston
After being hung out to dry by network executives, Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson is thinking of dumping A&E and looking for another cable network to air his show.
Robertson is reportedly quite unhappy with how network executives handled the whole situation after an interview the Duck Commander gave to GQ magazine erupted in controversy in December.
The Robertson family feels that executives abandoned them when gay advocacy groups began attacking Phil Robertson over his comments about homosexuality and only relented when it became clear that the network would take a financial hit because of executives’ actions.
“A&E messed with the wrong redneck,” a source close to the show told the media. “Phil has agreed to return, but he’s already working on getting out their contracts.”

‘Denver Post’ Brands ‘Duck Dynasty’s’ Phil Robertson a ‘Hate-Speech Spewer’
-By Warner Todd Huston
In a December 28 Facebook posting advertising its article on the A&E network’s decision to reinstate Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson, the Denver Post called Robertson a “hate-speech spewer.” So much for an unbiased reporting of the news.
To flack its December 28 article titled, “‘Duck Dynasty’ debacle winners and losers,” by television critic, Joanne Ostrow, the Post threw up a blurb on Facebook saying that A&E “welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson” back to the show.
“The feathers are no longer flying,” the Facebook blurb reads. “For now, the “Duck Dynasty” debacle is settled. The network, A&E, has welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson back into the fold. So who were the winners and losers in this sad episode?”
Many of the comments on the Facebook page take the Post to task for its extreme bias.

Gay Kid in Louisiana Says ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Made Him Feel ‘Unsafe’
-By Warner Todd Huston
Here is the nonsense that the media creates with its untrue “reporting” of the “news.” A gay teen in Louisiana now claims that because of Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson, he has been made to feel “unsafe” living as a gay person in Louisiana.
This from a “closeted” gay student in West Monroe, Louisiana who wrote an essay saying how unsafe he feels because of what Robertson said about gays.
After an interview with Robertson went viral, the old media establishment went wild calling his comments “hate speech,” and “anti-gay” and ramping up pressure on the A&E cable network to fire him from his reality show. All this unfair reporting filled with lies impacted this student in a negative way–as one might expect.

MSNBC: So Stupid That They Say Sarah Palin’s Christmas Trees Are ‘Un-Christian’
-By Warner Todd Huston
This is what happens when liberals try to use religion to sell their hate for conservatives. They are so unfamiliar with the Bible and Christianity that they end up boloxing the whole thing up. This is what MSNBC did when trying to use the Bible against what the cabler said was Sarah Palin’s “un-Christian” Christmas trees.
During the December 26 broadcast of the lamentable Ed Show on MSNBC, substitute hostette and resident numbskull Joy Reid thought she had a great way to attack Sarah Palin.
For her “Pretenders” segment, Reid showed some video of Palin and family around their Christmas tree and used that as a vehicle to attack. All these Christmas trees, Reid noted, were un-Christian and so, Palin is a hypocrite.
“In ‘Pretenders’ tonight, a merry Palin Christmas. Sarah Palin dropped by Fox & Friends to promote her manifesto on Christmas purity,” Reid blubbered. “She brought a treat better than Christmas cookies–family photos.”
After the video of Palin and her Christmas tree, Reid took to scolding Palin for her hypocrisy.

B-List Actor Calls LA Gov. Jindal ‘Dickbrain’ For Supporting ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star
-By Warner Todd Huston
Gay British actor Alan Cumming, was not very happy with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal for coming to the support of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson. In fact, Cumming called Jindal a “dickbrain” for coming to Robertson’s support.
Cumming, who starred in such massive, important cinematic hits as Spy Kids and Smurfs 2 and is now a bit player in the TV show The Good Wife, also noted that he wants to institute a “socialist utopia” in the USA.
The homosexual British actor made these comments on his Twitter feed after he belatedly found out that Bobby Jindal came to Robertson’s support.
On his Twitter account, Cumming noted that Jindal said that the “left may control Hollywood, but not the hearts and minds of a majority of Americans.” Then the actor added, “Yet US voted left. Twice.” The actor added the hashtag “#dickbrain.”

MSNBC: ‘Duck Dynasty’s’ Robertsons Are ‘White Supremacists’
-By Warner Todd Huston
Ever the wild-eyed, anti-American, leftist ranters, MSNBC is now saying that the Robertson family of TV’s Duck Dynasty are little else but part of that sheet-wearing, white supremacist culture.
Today, of course, we found out that A&E has relented and reinstated Phil Robertson to his Duck Dynasty TV show, but earlier in the day MSNBC’s Michael Eric Dyson said that the Robertson family is just “part of a majority white supremacist culture.”
What isn’t “racism” to these people?
So, I suppose the Bible is just a racist screed, now? After all, that is what Phil Robertson was paraphrasing with his comments to GQ. If so, Michael Eric Dyson, why do so many African Americans believe in the Bible and go to churches that base their teaching on that ancient book?
Anyway, here is what Dyson said…

A&E Backs Down, Cancels Phil Robertson’s ‘Duck Dynasty’ Suspension
-By Warner Todd Huston
The A&E network has suddenly reversed its widely panned decision to “indefinitely suspend” Duck Dynasty family patriarch Phil Robertson and has announced that Robertson is now back on the show.
A&E must have thought it could quietly announce that it had reversed its decision to suspend Phil Robertson by making an announcement late on Friday.
Following Obama’s well known practice of dumping government documents into public view late on Friday after most DC reporters have left for the weekend, A&E made its announcement late on Friday hoping no one would notice. But it’s no dice. The whole world has heard the news making it look like A&E is one of the biggest fools in the entertainment industry.
A&E was slammed by millions of Duck Dynasty fans for its knee-jerk, PC decision to suspend Robertson for his Biblically-based comments on homosexuality. Responding to left-wing complaints over what Robertson said to GQ magazine, the network quickly dumped Poppa Phil from his show.

Showing Them How! ‘Duck Dynasty’ Christmas Album Could Win a Grammy Award
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Robertson family of TV’s Duck Dynasty are the folks liberals hate the most, but the rest of America (you know, real America) love the Robertson clan. The Robertsons are so loved that their Christmas Album is soaring through the charts and is on track to possibly winning a Grammy Award! That’ll show ’em!
According to Billboard, the Robertsons’ Christmas album Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas is ranked 6th over all on the best-selling charts for December. And on the country chart, only Garth Books tops the Louisiana clan’s album.
The Duck Dynasty folks are ranking right up there with some of the biggest names in music today. Only Beyonce, Garth Brooks, Kelly Clarkson, R. Kelly, and One Direction have albums with higher sales that the Robertsons.

Outrageous: Church Creates Nativity Scene With Bleeding Trayvon Martin
-By Warner Todd Huston
A faux nativity scene featuring a makikin of a bleeding Trayvon Martin.
A California church has sponsored a “nativity scene” that outrageously turns violent Florida teen Trayvon Martin into a Christ figure showing him bleeding above the slogan “a child is born, a son is given.”
The faux nativity scene features wooden cutouts of traditional nativity figures but instead of a baby jesus, the display has a life-sized African American manikin wearing a black hoodie. The manikin has a stream of blood oozing from its chest and onto the ground staining its hands red.
The outrageous scene is part of a display by Claremont United Methodist Church in Inland Valley, California, which is about 30 miles east of Los Angeles.
According to the “artist” that created the display, the death of Trayvon Martin made him think of Jesus.

‘Duck Dynasty’ Stars Risking $500 Million Empire if Show Ends
-By Warner Todd Huston
Bloomberg is reporting that the Duck Dynasty empire amounts to some $500 million and if the show doesn’t come back on the air this could all be at risk of disappearing. But, is the money really a concern to the Robertsons? It sure doesn’t seem so.
Regardless, for Bloomberg, its all about the money. The December 23 article does a good job detailing where all the money is coming from in the Duck Dynasty franchise, but family patriarch Phil Robertson, Bloomberg says, put it all at risk with his comments about homosexuality made in an interview with GQ magazine.
Naturally, like nearly every other left leaning media outlet, Bloomberg mischaracterizes Robertson’s comments. As Bloomberg explains it, Robertson got in trouble for, “telling GQ magazine that homosexuals were akin to adulterers, the greedy, drunkards and swindlers and would not ‘inherit the kingdom of God.'”

Merry Christmas 2013: A Light Unto All Mankind
-By Warner Todd Huston
Merry Christmas, 2013
“And unto you a child is born.” With that promise Earth was given the promise of a light unto all men, a light that will lead us to our salvation if only we choose to accept that path.
Even if you are not a Christian, even if you’re not especially religious, if you claim another religion or none at all, the path that Christ walked when he was born into this world is a path from which we all can all learn. It is one worthy of study and acceptance even if only as an example of a way to live. Christ’s path is, indeed, a philosophy worthy of consideration for it is one based on service to your fellows, love for all, and a suppression of one’s selfishness in order to pursue a higher calling.
What could be a better path, even for the non-religious?
So, as we celebrate this Christmas Day, the day meant to memorialize the birth of Christ, and as we head into 2014 let us all strive to work harder to be of service to our fellows. Let us engage in those random acts of kindness that makes everyone’s lives so much more fulfilling — not to mention easier. Let us remember to say thanks to those who have done something for us and let us offer our own works for others without expecting immediate repayment.
Let’s try and leave this place a bit better off than when we came in.
I want to thank each and every one of you for having been such wonderfully loyal readers and for you folks that have only been recent visitors, may you find a home here for the upcoming days. We hope to give you a Christmas gift that never stops giving here at Publius Forum.
May God Bless you all and enjoy the day with your family and friends.
Merry Christmas and, if you don’t visit again before the end of the year, may you have a Happy New Year
Yours,

Christians Losing Ground in America: Belief in God Down, Belief in Darwin Up
-By Warner Todd Huston
With the entirety of the old media establishment in the U.S. daily attacking Christians, calling them evil and trying to turn Americans against all religions (well, except for Islam), it is no wonder that belief in God is falling in America today. If a new Harris poll is any indication, the haters are winning and Charles Darwin is the recipient of that victory.
According to Harris, belief in God is down from 82 percent in 2005, ’07, and ’09, belief in Darwin’s theories is up, and people who claim to be very religious is cratering.
For instance, the poll found that only two in ten Americans now call themselves “very religious,” a result that is down from the last poll in 2007. But those that claim not to be religious at all rose to 23 percent, a number that exploded by double the 12 percent who said so in 2007.

‘Duck Dynasty’ Phil Robertson Responds: ‘I am a Lover of Humanity’ Won’t Back Off From Comments on Gays
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Robertson family leaving their Louisiana church on December 22.
Phil Robertson has finally spoken out about the controversy that has rocked his reality TV show family after GQ magazine quoted him on his feelings about the “sin” of homosexuality. Robertson says he is a “lover of humanity,” but is still not backing off from his comments at all.
The Daily Mail reported on December 22 that Robertson was defiant toward his critics over what he said to the fashion magazine.
“I will not give or back off from my path,” Robertson said.
But, Robertson wanted to point out that he wasn’t saying he hated gays. “I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater,” he said.

Cracker Barrel restaurants found itself in its own Ducking hullabaloo this weekend when it bowed to pressure from militant gay groups to pull Duck Dynasty merchandise. On Friday the national restaurant chain announced it was pulling the products from its gift shop shelves but by Sunday it reversed itself announcing it had “made a mistake.”
On Friday December 20, Cracker Barrel announced on its Facebook page that it was dumping any Duck Dynasty product with Phil Robertson’s face on it.
In the posting the restaurant chain wrote the following:

‘Duck Dynasty’ Family: A&E Hung Us Out to Dry!
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Robertson family of TV reality show Duck Dynasty thinks that the A&E network purposefully embarrassed them and that they were “hung out to dry” by network executives.
The family has come to believe that network execs are using the current controversy as a method to force the family to say and do what the network wants them to, a source close to the family tells the Daily Mail newspaper.
According to those close to the family, the Robertsons believe that network brass should also have squelched the interview if they had thought it was so offensive. After all, it is clear that network execs knew full well what Phil Robertson said to GQ magazine about homosexuality. And this is not to mention the fact that Phil Robertson has said similar things since A&E put them on the air.

CNN’s Brit Twit Piers Morgan Says 1st Amend. Should Only Cover Speech HE Likes
-By Warner Todd Huston
British twit Piers Morgan, host of one of CNN’s lowest rated evening talk shows, has made it clear many times that he is wholly ignorant about the U.S. Constitution. Usually he reveals his ignorance about the Second Amendment, but this time he’s shown his stupidity about the First saying that freedom of speech shouldn’t cover speech he doesn’t like.
Foreign citizen Morgan was naturally responding to the current controversy over comments made by Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson. Morgan says that Robertson shouldn’t be allowed to have his freedom of speech or his choice of religion. Robertson should only be allowed to say what Piers Morgan thinks is proper.
Morgan idiotically jumped to his over used Twitter feed to reveal his latest nonsense saying, “Just as the 2nd Amendment shouldn’t protect assault rifle devotees, so the 1st Amendment shouldn’t protect vile bigots. #PhilRobertson.”
It is painfully clear that this interloper from England has never read the U.S. Constitution and doesn’t understand it. I guess the “ye olde English language” it was written in is too complicated for Morgan to grasp.

‘Duck Dynasty’ Family Announcing They Will Likely Quit A&E Network
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Duck Dynasty controversy continues to roll onward. In a new statement today, it appears that the Robertson family is edging toward quitting the A&E network and putting a halt to their Duck Dynasty TV show.
As we predicted on the day the controversy over clan leader Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ magazine about gays hit the news, the family is looking like they will probably quit the network that introduced them to the country.
Not to toot my own horn, but I immediately said that the family would probably quit the show in solidarity with Phil.
Now it seems this may happen. Today the family released a statement on the whole issue and while they didn’t yet say they are quitting the show, it sure looks like that is the next step.

SUSPENDED: Gay Group Attacks Duck Dynasty Star, But Ignored Hate-Filled Alec Baldwin
-By Warner Todd Huston
Gay groups don’t care about gay slurs. They care about liberalism. So, when a liberal utters a gay slur it is brushed off as unimportant. But if a conservative seems to say something bad about gays, why, it is the end of the world. That is the case here with the recent condemnation that the gay group GLAAD doled out to Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson.
The gay group GLAAD came out to excoriate Phil Robertson of A&E’s reality TV hit Duck Dynasty for his comments about gays in a hostile interview in the upcoming issue of GQ magazine.
As soon as the interview became public knowledge, GLAAD ran to Entertainment Weekly which posted the complaint in a piece with the lie-filled title, “‘Duck Dynasty’ star makes anti-gay comments; GLAAD slams.”
In the interview Robertson laid out the typical, Christian, Bible-based ideas about homosexuality and in fact just paraphrased Corinthians in his comments that homosexuality is wrong but that he still loves gays as human beings.
Before we get to GLAAD’s complaint, here is what Robertson said in the GQ interview:

OUTRAGEOUS: School Bans Kid’s Christmas Poster Because it ‘Might be Religious’
-By Warner Todd Huston
It’s a sales job, not a religious message!
It could be, it might be, it… isn’t religious, but the fearful authorities at a Minnesota school thought that a skeleton carton on a kid’s Christmas poster was “religious” and should be taken down.
The poster featured the cartoon character Jack Skellington from the Tim Burton movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas” but this didn’t stop the absurd authorities at the PACT Charter school in Ramsey, Minnesota from taking it down for fear of “religious” themes.
The civil rights advocacy group The Rutherford Institute has taken up the cause and sent a letter to the school warning them of their folly.

Pope Francis Tells Rush Limbaugh ‘I Am Not a Marxist’
-By Warner Todd Huston
Three days ago I discussed why Time magazine picked Catholic Pope Francis as its “man of the year.” We noted that the only reason the magazine would have picked this months-old Pope for its cover is because of his recent Marxist-styled attack on capitalism. Now the Pope has come out to assure his flock and warn commentators like Rush Limbaugh that he isn’t a Marxist.
Last week conservative talker Rush Limbaugh lambasted the Pope’s address from two weeks ago saying that his attack on capitalism was “pure Marxism.” For much of last week the media here and abroad went gaga over Rush’s “attack” on the Pope.
Now the Pope himself is trying to ally fears that he is a Marxist, telling Limbaugh and other critics that he isn’t one.
During an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa, the Pope said that Marxism is wrong.

Union-Loving School Official Says School Vouchers Would ‘Train Terrorists’
-By Warner Todd Huston
WECT TV6-WECT.com:News, weather
One of the biggest solutions reformers have to fix our failing schools is to give parents vouchers that can be used to send kids to the parent’s choice of schools. But one union-backing school superintendent in North Carolina is so against any solutions outside those offered by unions that she is going to the absurd extreme of saying that vouchers would be used to “train terrorists.”
That’s right. If you support giving parents a better choice for their children’s education, then you are a supporter of terrorism.
North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson says of the voucher legislation, “There is nothing in the legislation that would prevent someone from establishing a school of terror.”
Really? That is her concern? Where did this come from, you might wonder? Why, she’s attacking Christian schools, of course.

Biased Reporter Uses His Media Job to Force City To Take Down Nativity Scene
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Chipley, Florida nativity scene.
A reporter for a small Florida newspaper decided that he wanted to see if he could get the city of Chipley to remove its nativity scene from public property because he claims it is somehow against the US Constitution. There is that unbiased media we are so in love with, eh?
“Reporter” Randal Seyler of the Washington County News decided to try and use his position in the media to destroy a community nativity scene when he noticed that the decoration was put up at city hall.
This biased, troublemaker ran to city hall and warned them he was going to start causing problems for the city if they didn’t remove the nativity scene.
Chipley Mayor Linda Cain was not interested in Seyler’s anti-Christmas crusade, though, so he ran to a militant atheist group that loves to file frivolous lawsuits against cities all across America.

Why Did Liberal Time Magazine Pick Pope Francis as ‘Person of the Year’?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Reliably left-wing Time magazine recently picked the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, as its “person of the year” for 2013. This choice is odd for several reasons–after all the Pope stands against most of Time’s leftist ideals–but maybe the Pope’s recent Marxist-styled attack on capitalism explains the choice?
But let’s find a minute to note how uncomfortable the leftist magazine must have been with its choice. After all, Pope Francis has not yet done anything in office except become noted for his Marxist-like attack on capitalism.
It is clear that Time only picked Francis because of that attack on the single best system ever invented by man. After all, if one looks at this Pope’s other positions one finds the antithesis of Time’s left-wing principles.

Militant Atheists Force U.S. Air Force to Remove Christmas Nativity Scene

An “offensive” nativity scene at Shaw Air Force base in North Carolina.
An anti-religious and anti-Christmas atheist group has forced the U.S. Air Force to remove a nativity scene off base property at Shaw Air Force base in Sumter, South Carolina, saying it “violates the Constitution.”
The militant atheist group called Military Religious Freedom Foundation sent a letter to the Pentagon whining about the nativity scene early this month. After receiving the letter, Pentagon lawyers became afraid that the plastic Jesus in the Nativity scene would spark lawsuits.
Air Force crews removing the scene.
So, the Pentagon had the traditional religious scene removed out of fear.

Liberal Says Santa Shouldn’t Be a Racist White Guy
-By Warner Todd Huston
Liberal Aisha Harris of Slate thinks it’s time that Santa Klaus “got a make over.” She thinks we need to make Santa a black penguin instead of an old, fat, racist white guy.
Mz. Harris tells of her early childhood where her family had images of a black Santa in her African American home but seeing a black Santa at home and white ones everywhere else confused her.
“Seeing two different Santas was bewildering,” Harris says. “Eventually I asked my father what Santa really looked like. Was he brown, like us? Or was he really a white guy?”
“My father replied that Santa was every color. Whatever house he visited, jolly old St. Nicholas magically turned into the likeness of the family that lived there,” she wrote.
But her father’s gentle explanation wasn’t good enough for her.

The Charlie Brown ‘Meaning of Christmas’ Show Would Never be Allowed Today

If you are a netcitizen of a certain age, you’ll remember the Charlie Brown TV specials. We all waited for them each year on Halloween and Christmas. It was always a highlight of our childhood years in the 60s and 70s. But if they tried to make heartwarming shows like this today the left-wing, anti-Americans and Christmas haters out there would destroy any TV network that tried it.
This TV cartoon special is so filled with traditional Christmas and Christian religious symbolism that were it made today the left would firebomb any network that tried to do it.
Take the central monologue delivered by Peanuts character Linus who quoted from the Bible to explain what the true meaning of Christmas is for all of us.
