i think its pretty simple:

i think the Duck Commander guys will leave A&E and probably go to a more liberal network...
as for me, i wont be buying any Duck Dynasty stuff, as A&E owns that, so make sure you buy the actual Duck Commander stuff from now own.
i know religious and political topics are not allowed on the forum, but i just wanted see what your take was on it.
so religion aside....i just think his freedom of speech was violated and they kind of set him up for it..it was a loaded question..
kind of like when your wife asks "do you think that girl is beautiful"...its a trick question!!

I honestly didn't know it happened till yesterday when my mom went on a gay rights rant(she's has a lot of gay friends)
Here are my thoughts.
Everyone has a point of view that is individualized and is formed through life experiences and is usually passed down through the family.
Geography and life style have a lot to do with how yo develop your view on issues such as gay rights.
They asked a man who is from the south and on top of that is known to be an honest person with all questions asked.
They got mad because he gave them an honest answer. If Glenn went on TV and said "I think Rangers are stupid" I wouldn't care in the least bit. That is how he feels and I respect that right.
Now if I had the american attitude that seems to be overcoming america and Glenn opposed my view points I would say he is in the wrong. that he needs to keep them to himself and that only positive views on rangers should be shared.
That is how america is. Gay people want the same rights and don't think we should oppose the gay rights movement.
Not to sound like a nut job but that is communism.
Everyone SHOULD NOT have to have the same views as everyone else. If I don't like something or someone I'm not going to keep it to myself if questioned about it.
He was in the right and I respect him so much for being honest.
Maybe the gays need to stop getting to butt hurt about everything.
