You were mentioning that someone else said "A&E gets every dime that you spend on Duck Dynasty merchandise." Please, show me the proof. I have no desire to buy their products, nor do I care about the show other than I hope it succeeds on another network since PC types at A&E suspended Mr. Robertson.

They do, but it's not even about that now. They've angered a large segment of their restaurant customers and they felt they had to apologize.

I have no proof of that, and nobody on this thread has claimed that it's the case. I was mentioning that the person who claimed dsjj251 said "A&E gets every dime that you spend on Duck Dynasty merchandise" was mistaken about what dsjj251 said.

You are correct. Why are they screaming about this? Why do they care? They don't even know is what is funny and pathetic about it all. They just scream to scream. Liberals would have nothing to do if their masters didn't give em something to cry and wail about. The great leader Obama supported the clinton signed DOMA law until he needed some help election time then they started all the wailing and it works. I'm sure these guys just sit and laugh at how stupid people are...........I would be too because they are right.

Quite incorrect

It shows that the nation is tired of being bullied by politically correct Nazis. Further, it shows cracks in the leftist agenda, due to the continued decline in the standard of living and intervention in personal lives. Witness an entirely democrat crowd turning on Al Sharpton at a recent rally in Chicago.

No one wants to be told how to live, what to say, or what to think. The left has become the "brand" of authoritarianism- assuming the right and priveledge to dictate other people's lives. Such a position, is tiresome and presumes a sense of elitism among the superiority among the leftist handlers.

Tyranny is never popular- except, of course, among tyrants. "Hope and Change" now seems as cynical as "The Cultural Revolution", 'Worker's Paradise", "The Great Leap Forward" and other lies designed to subjugate citizens.

What the hell are you talking about? What comments have I made about the workings of commerce?

01Snake claimed that dsjj251 said A&E gets every dime spent on Duck Dynasty merchancise. All I did was point out that dsjj251 did not say that.

Tyranny? What are you talking about? How has the government involved itself in this issue?
