Obviously you don't get the joke.
Well, no point in explaining it to you.

Quote:A&E retracted its suspension of ‘Duck Dynasty’ star Phil Robertson with the explanation that Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man’s views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about money… money that A&E has come to love. -- www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2013/12/27/phil-robertson-b

"...because it is a show about money… money that A&E has come to love..."
Yup. What was the title of that other thread? Something about who didn't see this coming?

On the other hand, some of those columns are pretty amazing, and would make good satire, only they're NOT:Quote:
Pope Francis' call for a truce notwithstanding, the culture war rages on in America.
Last week, a Utah judge struck down part of the state's anti-polygamy law, clearing the way for men to marry multiple spouses.
Methodist pastor Frank Schaefer, defrocked for officiating at the same-sex marriage of his son, refused to recant, and joined a Dupont Circle congregation, declaring from the pulpit to repeated ovations Sunday, "Change is coming" to the United Methodist Church.
Major media stories both.
Yet these were skirmishes alongside the culture war clash last week over the remarks to GQ magazine of Phil Robertson, patriarch of the clan of "Duck Dynasty," the wildly popular show on A&E.
Using crude terms, but biblically correct arguments, Robertson told GQ what he thought of homosexuality and moral relativism. Said Robertson:
"Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong. Sin becomes fine. ... Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. ...
"Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexuality offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself."
The homosexual lobby GLAAD swiftly demanded that Robertson be purged from "Duck Dynasty." And A&E suspended him indefinitely.
The backlash was swift and huge. Followers of "Duck Dynasty," Evangelicals, politicians and free-speech champions arose to defend Robertson's right to speak without punishment. Millions endorsed his views on what the Bible says and Christianity professes and promises.
The battle revealed an immense and intense hostility in Middle America to the moral agenda being imposed by our cultural elites.
While defenders of Robertson invoked the First Amendment, that is not the issue here. No one is denying Robertson his right to speak.
What GLAAD wants to do is to blacklist Robertson, to punish him by taking away his podium, "Duck Dynasty." The gay rights militants cannot silence him, but they do have the power to cost him his job and take away his megaphone so that his vast audience can no longer hear him.
The blacklist of the Truman era did not deny the Hollywood Ten their right to produce movie scripts. It was an agreed-upon Hollywood policy not to commission or to use the work of unrepentant Communists as writers, producers or directors.
Who were the Hollywood Ten? They were closet Communists, secret members of a Communist Party USA, then a wholly owned subsidiary of the greatest mass murderer in history, Joseph Stalin.
And of what were the Hollywood Ten guilty?
When Stalinists were eradicating freedom and exterminating Eastern European Christians and overrunning China and murdering millions, as President Truman tried to rally the forces of freedom, the Hollywood Ten took the Fifth Amendment. They refused to repudiate Communism or name names of fellow Communists who were still reshaping the thinking of America from their upholstered perches in the film industry.
Today, however, the Hollywood Ten are regarded as martyrs, moral heroes. Had they been secret Nazis rather than secret Stalinists in those years, they would likely not be so beloved of the Hollyleft.
Contrast if you will the sins for which Phil Robertson is being blacklisted with those of the Hollywood Ten.
He is a fundamentalist Christian professing his belief in what he holds to be Bible truths about sin, homosexuality, heaven and hell. For so doing, he is being censored by elites who wish to deny him access to the medium they largely control — television.
And what were the comparable sins of the Hollywood Ten?

One could only WISH that this was satire:Quote:
Alabama Lawmaker To Introduce Resolution Honoring Gay-Bashing 'Duck Dynasty' Star
Alabama State Sen. Jerry Fielding (R) announced Monday that he will introduce a resolution honoring "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson, who was suspended from the A&E reality television show after making controversial anti-gay comments in an interview with GQ magazine, the Daily Home reported.
"Phil Robertson's family values are shared by the vast majority of Alabamians, who are rightfully concerned by the vitriol aimed at his Christian stance," Fielding said in a statement. "There's a clear double standard in the media favoring a liberal worldview. When it's used to silence and punish Christians for stating their beliefs, that's when we must defend the rights of individuals to exercise their free speech without fear of politically-motivated repercussion. I join thousands across Alabama and our country by standing with Phil Robertson, and urge A&E to reverse their action against him."
The senator will introduce the resolution on Jan. 14 when the state Senate convenes for the next session.
In the resolution, Fielding lauds Robertson and his family as "ambassadors of the love and grace of the Heavenly Father through their exemplary lives on and off the camera." http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson-alab

I admit it, I skimmed the OP and thought it was serious, but then I find this whole thing so ridiculous that anything could happen with it.
I'm so glad I live far from middle America with no broadcast tv. I'm so blessedly isolated from these nuts! The only place I encounter it is here, and that's only by choice. :)

Everyone get to be an idiot for fifteen minutes a day. The trick is not going over that time allotment.

I know I posted here.
It's gone......
Never had that happen before. Unless there is a VERY legitimate explanation from HAKEN and/or a re-post of our missing posts, I think it might be time to move on.
It's bad enough to be a part of a forum that will censor posts, but if they're just "vanished" as if they've never been posted, that's even more Orwellian to me.
