We live in such a hypocritical society! These Duck Dynasty dudes truly personify American values at their core. People are so quick to get bent out of shape over words depending on who's uttering them. Our outrageously biased liberal media demonises everyone who is not on board with their widely poplular and publicised belief system. I can be pro-humanity and in opposition of homosexuality. Let me break this down. I love homosexuals and have professional and personal relationships with individuals who subscribe to that way of life. I share those same relationships with individuals who are, abstinate, promiscuious and others who don't provide me with any information about their sexual preference or exploits. There is a flood of support in favor of Phil Roberston's comments regarding homosexuality and I'm on that same side because those comments are biblically based. I don't support hate no matter how you shade it but I have a right to speak up for my personal and spiritual value system and that doesn't make me intolerant of diversity or a bigot. I also support Chic-fil-A COO Dan Cathy in that I stand behind God's values over man's preference or acceptance.This is where some LBGT supporters will stop reading and I'm cool with that.
On the other hand an American born man who needs subtitles to translate his conversations makes rediculous claims about perceived racial equity and folks are getting pissed off. Go figure. His feelings about blacks truly reveal the pulse of the American education system, political system, and cleary the judicial system from the supreme court all the way down. Honestly the Duck Dynasty version is probably more humane than what's coming out of the mouths of countless law enforcement officials and it's no different from the whitewashed versions of slavery and the Reconstruction Era that were and are still taught throughout our public school system across the nation.
Our nation has done a terrible job of documenting historical events with accuracy and integrity and as a result we live in the "Era of Obama". This is the distorted belief system where having a president who's DNA and heritage can be traced from causasion roots in Wichita, Kansas to the Blackest roots in Nyang''oma Kogelo, Kenya creates a supposedly 'Post Racism' society where there is a level playing field, equal opportunity and access to the American Dream. All of these benefits are feasible if you just pull yourself up with your bootstraps, work hard, earn your way of the employment food ladder of success and life will be grand. Yeah right! That's about as legitimate as calling us, "one nation under God indivisible with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all." Were are in the age of "Relative Righteousness"...which simply means, "It's right and good if I say it as regardless of the end results and consequences. Morality at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by Diving Forces.
Just a side note: Isaiah Washington(from Grey's Anatomy) and Tim Hardaway(from the Miami Heat) lost their jobs for comments concerning gays and there was no outcry of support for those men. I guess you have to be a rifle waving white male to have the conservative right wing and Fox News cosign for your comments and use the 1st Amendment to justify it. It's the same story when we watch YouTube clips of police officers using radical slurs and beating the breaks off of unarmed men, women and children. Somehow there's always just cause for it and they are suspended with pay until the media steam cools off then it's back to the obscene normality of our moral deficit. I support the "Post 9/11 Post Patriot Act" Constitutional Rights! Wow! What happened to those?
