Duck Dynasty.
Not what it’s quacked up to be?
Sorry folks. I’m
going to have to tell this tale from a first person, point of view.
Now we have all been exposed to the TV show, “Duck Dynasty”
for better or worse.
I don’t ordinarily watch TV but last April 10 I was
subjected to it…For over four hours.
I was having my truck worked on at the Volvo dealer in Memphis,
TN and Duck Dynasty was the only thing on
TV.
Now I will be honest with you. I really hate the show…I can’t figure out why
anyone would spend over $45,000 to write, and shoot an episode of this or any
other “reality” show. However I will
tell you that I really like the Robertson family and their friends.
Especially Phil, Si and Miss Kay Robertson. I think they are good hardworking ordinary
people with traditional American values.
At the end of April I moved my finance, “Firecracker” down
to Tennessee and we tied the knot
on July 4. Congratulations are in store.
“Firecracker” wanted cable TV as a condition on moving in.
Well where I live in Lewis County Tennessee cable TV is non
existent.
So to satisfy my soon to be wife we got “Dish Network”
installed at our house.
What does this have to do with Duck Dynasty??????
The young fellow, Derek who did the installation asked me if
I ever heard of the show.
I told him that I was subjected to it for four hours and
could think of better things to watch, something like “The Godfather” or
“Little Caesar”
Well Derek, said that Will Robertson comes to Lewis County
to go hunting with some Country and
Western singer who lives down the block.
Now I don’t remember the name of the celebrity whom he mentioned. I know it wasn’t Johnny Cash or Bird so I
really don’t care.
Anyway according to Derek…
Will Robertson was invited to the White House and had a meeting with
Obama. (I will not defame the memory of former American Presidents by
addressing him as President, sorry.)
At that point a bomb went off in my head. Uncle Si Robertson was in Viet
Nam.
If I were Uncle Si I would have a big problem with my nephew
going to meet Obama.
A BIG PROBLEM.
Now around early May all I saw was Duck Dynasty merchandise
all over the place.
In every department store, truck stop, bar, bookie joint,
underground arms manufacturer and even at a Volvo dealer,
Hahahah.
What is really going on here?????
In my not so humble opinion the collectivist, elitist,
financial scum, eastern establishment, is setting up the Robertson family to
frame the right side of the debate.
Now what does “Frame the Debate” mean.
Lets take an issue.
The United Nuisance (United Nations) is a good example.
The debate over this issue has a liberal, globalist who
argues that the United Nations is the best opportunity for world peace. (In reality we have had more people killed in
wars since 1945 than the total of deaths in both World Wars.)
The “liberal” is the left side of the debate.
You then have a “Conservative” argue on the right side.
He says that the United Nations is a failure and needs to be
reformed.
(You know it’s interesting how many “Conservative”
Republi-con’s offer this line of dreck.)
He occupies the right side.
The proper answer is from a Constitutionalist and it is, these
United States
needs to get out of the United Nations.
Let’s frame another debate.
The Second Amendment.
On the left side you have Feinstein who advocates total
confiscation of firearms owned by law abiding citizens of these United States. On the right side you have some Republi-con
woose who wants to ban a particular type of gun. The outsider on this debate is someone like me
who says that the Second Amendment is the people’s final defense against a
tyrannical government.

Now the question should be are the Robertson’s going to be
used against We the People
Without their knowledge.
Yes they are. Phil
Robertson endorsed a candidate for the 5th Congressional District by
the name of Vance McAllister. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vance_McAllister)
According to the for mentioned link it seems that Mr.
McAllister spent $400,000 of his own money to win (buy) the election. (Many of you devout readers of my drivel know
how I feel about politicians and money in politics. Please refresh yourself with this,
Now how is Mr. McAllister on these issues? Will he look at the bills and ask a question.
“If this bill passes will it increase the size, cost, extend
the reach or power of the government.”
Then VOTE NO for those reasons. I
sincerely doubt it.
(PS as much as I have disagreed with Henry Herford in the
past I believe that Hank would at least apply that yardstick before voting.)
A good friend of mine who lives in that district in Louisiana
and is a retired Air Force MP has told me that Mr. McAllister wants to FIX
OBAMACARE.
That sounds like the typical Republi-con conservative
response to tyranny.
We can fix it and make it work. Remember what I said about two sides of a
debate.
Obamacare and fix Obamacare.
That is your typical crap out of the misguided brains of a
politician. They argue the merits of the
bills. The only solution to Obamacare is
to get rid of it by defunding it. By
defunding it the Senate and the President have no say it the matter.
Now something else is going on in the great state of Louisiana. According to my friend. Governor Jindal is talking about getting rid
of the Marxist State Income Tax. Didn’t
you know that the tax on your income is a plank of Karl Marx’s Communist
Manifesto. (Wikipedia, please scroll to
section 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Manifesto#I._Bourgeois_and_Proletarians)
What is an income tax doing in a supposedly “Free Country”
like these United States??
Now I don’t trust politicians, any politician but I have to
applaud the efforts of Governor Bobby Jindal.
He will have one hell of a battle with the politicians of his state who
want to soak the taxpayer and then have the ability to use their office and
redistribute the income confiscated from the producers of that income to their
friends and supporters.
Sounds like Washington, DC
to me.
Now back to the Quackers.
My friend also thinks that if the
Robertson’s told their faithful to turn in their guns. The good old boys down in Louisiana
would be disarming in droves.
(I know they are
making firearms with Duck Dynasty’s name on it). (http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=845648&ocid=ansent11)
Concerning merchandising rights. That is clothing and the what not with Duck
Dynasty’s name on it. Isn’t it
interesting almost everything is made in China.
Oh, the money goes to Arts and Entertainment network. If you go into a Wal-Mart look at the
merchandise and you will find the A&E logo.
Now whether you like the show or hate the show Mr. Robertson
made a comment which almost got him kicked off the show. Did Mr. Robertson make that comment to be
thrown into the “briar patch.”
The public outcry to keep Mr. Robertson was deafening. Even the left wing producers of Duck Dynasty
had to reverse their decision to kick Mr. Robertson off the show.
The public has won a major victory against the liberal left.
Really……You haven’t won a major battle in this war against
“We The People” since the Waxman bill banning Home Schooling back under Comrade
Clinton, was defeated by “We The People”.
If I remember correctly there was only one vote for the bill and that
was by Henry Waxman. You may want to do
a little research on this nut bag.
((Oh, look him up and see what bills he sponsored. Like Crap & Trade, “Affordable Patient
Protection Act????” and others. What
would really destroy Waxman is a question.
“Did you write that bill and if not who did?”
Please see my video, "Transparent Government."
Anyway every time they win a battle we lose….more and more
of our freedoms and liberties go down the drain.
Anyway I really got into it on Facebook with a bunch of
misinformed Americans who think that the reinstatement of Phil Robertson on
Duck Dynasty was a major victory.
A major victory would be a lowering of the Debt
Ceiling. Gee where is Speaker of the
House John Boehner on this???? He
decreased the increase on the Debt Ceiling and hails it as a major victory. Really, an increase is still an increase. (decreasing the increase video)
What about a full defunding of the United Nations. Now that would be a victory and guess what
with no United Nations think about how much LESS government and government workers
and rules and regulations to be enforced by those government workers there
would be.
Now to sum it up. I’m
in favor of more and more activism. I’m
glad people raised hell about what happened to Phil Robertson. Now what would have happened if only five
percent of those good people who took to defending Mr. Robertson on Facebook
would have said the following….
If it increases the size of government…
If it increases the cost of government…
If it extends the reach or power of government…
SCRAP it.
SCRAP SCRAP, an idea
whose time has come.
Change the House of Representatives and you can change the
direction these United States
is going.
Just remember, cut the size, cost, reach and power of
government and preserve liberty.
Or we are doomed to 10,000 years of the most bitter slavery
in a new dark age.
I think Bob Welch said something like that.
