Phil Robertson---Duck Commander....whaddya' think?

[Rastus]

And remember, when doing your Christmas shopping....Duck Dynasty is owned by A&E and Duck Commander is owned by the Robertson family.  I'm just sayin'....

Exactly.

Most anything labeled "Duck Dynasty" feeds A&E..... Both "Duck Commander" and "Buck Commander" products are Robertson family brands.

THey have already been paid, when they sold it to the store.  A&E made a choice, assuming it was legal, they are free to do so.

Yeah but I'd rather see the Duck Commander brand sell out and be replenished.....

It's pretty tough to get one of their calls since the show came out.  All of the yuppies who've never shot at a duck in their life are buying them up.  Luckily, I've had all of my Duck Commanders for at least 15 years and they're still enchanting ducks and coaxing them to their doom.  I did see a few on the shelves a while back and they were selling for over $25!

Yep.... the reason Phil and his family are so successful is that their calls work....and work well. My son uses them and if I were a duck hunter, I would use them.


As a side note, one thing I read a while back that many folks miss about the TV show is that it really didn't go the way A&E originally intended. They went to the Robertsons, (who already had two successful TV shows, as well as a DVD series on hunting exploits) thinking they would be making another show exploiting backwoods hillbillies.
When they realized they were dealing with humble, simple family-oriented people of faith, who happened to be educated and successful business folks, A&E tried editing the episodes to look different... to fit their agenda.....going so far as to add "fake bleeps" to simulate foul language. Then when A&E realized that Americans liked the Robertsons for who they were, honest and decent folks, the show flourished despite A&E's attempts at trickery.


Phil speaks out and refuses to back away from what he said:

i am glad he is standing up for what he said.  IMO a big part of being a man is owning up to your actions/ statments,  rather they were good or bad.

To be honest, I liked their old show "Benelli Presents, Duck Commander" on the Outdoor Network better than the iteration they have on A&E.  It was primarily just duck hunting with a few hijinks thrown in for entertainment.

1st Amendment is there to protect what a person wants to say, not to protect what others want to hear.
I do find it ironic that a solid Christian family would be making their living by selling "temptation".

I have no problem with private rules and regulations.  The Constitution is to structure and limit government.  However, government has taken the stance that for select groups the Constitution will limit private individuals and business as if they are government. 

This is where things get sticky:

1.  Civil Rights have been including gender, age, race, and religion.  They have been expanded to ethnicity, and sexual preference;
2.  The First Amendment is clashing with ... damn ... the First Amendment (speech vs. speech), and the First Amendment (religious regulation) vs. whatever I want to be sexually.

Who's protections count here?

Here we go, Phil can show you the Bible he quoted.  Can you show me the gene that makes you the sexual orientation just like the gene that makes you male, female, black, white or green?
