Did they Kill The Duck That Laid the Golden Egg?
Duck Dynasty seems to be the big issue today. There are lots of "Redneck" reality shows on. Swamp People, Shelby the Swamp Man, others based around moonshine and such. I have not watched any of them for any length of time. What sets DD apart is the faith aspect of it that plays out in the show.
Now on Duck Dynasty they can be crude, put each other down, tease each other and so forth. We might even think at times they have gone too far. But if we look at our own lives we also find the same things. I am not always a G Parent or even a PG parent. My words at times are crude and sometimes I go too far with things. But shinning through this is true love of God, Family, and America. They are a rag to riches group living the American Dream - with hard work.
We may not be Rednecks but we all have some thing in our personal culture that would set us apart and seem weird to others.
Phil is a cagey old hunter and wise in God's word. He has A&E right in his sites. A&E has just shot itself in the foot. The Robertson's don't need A&E (and neither do I), but A&E sure needs Phil and his family. The Robertson's will move onto bigger and better things. I suspect for them Bigger and Better is a platform for their views, not so much the money.
It is refreshing to see Christian men that are real and masculine, living in a man's world while loving their wives and kids.
