A&E Caves: Duck Dynasty's Phil and family reunited.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I have no opinion on it, I do not watch the show. My only point was that his employer had the right to do what they did. The outcome of that is pretty irrelevant.

His employer has the right to do that IF they want to pay the price for doing so. They didn't.

I am very pleased with the result as it is very libertarian...Individual freemdom, individual responsibility. I am pro-choice. PAY for your own choices or choose something else. A&E did that.

By your own admission you don't watch the show, nor do you own the invention called television (plastic and glass box that shows shows) to be aware of the fact that there is a show about bearded, homophobic duck hunters. The only reason you are commenting on it is because it's popped up on some news thread, which is as bizarre a means of understanding what is going on in the world as any.

Maybe you should CHOOSE to buy a TV?

I'm not terribly bothered to be honest. I'm more interested that Phil has become a martyr for ultra nationalist types.

Has to go down as one of the shortest martyrdoms in history

[himher 634]

No, I'm just more intelligent.

Phil isn't average, he's an inbred SOB

I'm thinking you're exceptional dude. A real miracle of modern medical science.

It doesn't take much for people to rally around a totally pointless cause.

Put together those three quotes should give you at least a vague idea that I don't take the subject seriously.

Posts fixed. You sure got that pointless thing right. Vague doesn't even come close to the size of the lightbulb that goes with that idea sport.

No. *I* meant what *I* said, in the exact words that *I* used.

What I find interesting (though not surprising) is how you despise the things he said and then you come off with some personal attack on not just him but his parents, accusing them of incest.

.... Which is fine, except, I bet anything

you think you are better than him

while taking it to a lower level.

Your next lesson to preach to us about is

Stereo-typing 101.

Yeah I posted that after a few drinks last night, had to do something while waiting for the train.

Needless to say if you're taking it seriously, you're giving it more weight and attention than I did. It is no reflection on my views.

I don't think Phil is inbred, although he certainly does look and dress like one of the mountain men from deliverance (who it is heavily implied were inbred).

This was never about freedom. It was about the choices of a private companies marketing strategy. The government was not involved with this at any point. They pulled him from the show because they thought his views would alienate audiences. They were wrong, people got mad, they put it back.

At what point, specifically, during this entire ordeal, were anyone's first amendment rights in question from the government? If I call my openly gay boss a godless sodomite and he fires me, was it a first amendment thing or a bad judgement thing?

+100..

Phil got his hand slapped by A&E, the family apologized and he is back. Everyone is making money and life continues as usual. Phil had his 15 minutes of fame, and is being heralded as a martyr by the motley crew.

Well I guess if you had a few drinks.

In my opinion, using a hollywood movie stereotype to draw real life conclusions about peeps is fun... but not always accurate.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

He's religious, likes guns, is against homosexuality and dresses like a militiaman. How is this not a stereotype?

He is a stereotype for everything that is wrong with the bastardization and ridicule of christianity in America.

Pope Francis, the leader of christianity himself said: 'Who am I to judge?'

Should other alleged christians not take that as a hint and spend time reading the apocrypha they so much love to thump?

You have more posts than anyone in this thread. We can tell you don't care.It is probably unnecessary to post so many times that you don't care

Thank you for posting again that you do not take it seriously.

Psssst...it doesn't matter if you take it seriously or not. Phil has his job back because of $$$. $$$ trump whiners
