I’ve only seen Duck dynasty once & afterwards I was
convinced that their ancestors had married on too many first cousins and/or
barnyard pets. I honestly shudder at the thought other countries watch them and
think we are all this type. That said, I think this whole matter raises First Amendment
issues:
1. He should have a right to think gay = sin. Basically that
is all he said and why can’t he say his religious beliefs?
2. With a right of speech comes the acceptance that it has
consequences. So you got fired {see pt 5}
3.GLAAD as usual overreacted. They scare me many times since
they hand out criticism and then go beyond it into censorship issues without
any concerns over that fact. Yet see my next point.
4. GLAAD has a right to say pull him but again they should
have been more mature and just scolded him.
5. A&E has
a right to say to this guy,” say whatever you wish but we don’t have to employ
you” {after all they too have their First Amendment rights}
6. Everyone in this thing {including politicians} should
grow up.
Side note: Now as to India. If you want to be in the big
adults club of nations it helps if you act maturely in response to a diplomatic
goof by another country. Overreactions and this pontificating make it difficult
to respect you {something you continually seek}. I’m just sayin….
