Patriarch, Phil Robertson, alias 'Duck Commander', has been suspended by A&E and the future of his long running reality show 'Duck Dynasty' is now question.
It was only a matter of time..
Grandpa Phil is an outspoken individual of unshakable Christian faith.
Filled with pithy comments, American folk lore and Old Time Religion he has made no bones about his convictions or his faith.
Asked this week about his views on SIN, quoth Uncle Duck:
"We would start with homo-sexuality and morph out from there"
Further pressed to explain himself, he went on:
"The Bible says that adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, drunkards and the like will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God"
For such temerity A&E have suspended him from his show, avidly watched by over 15 million fans.
The president of A&E said " Robertson's opinions are unchristian and un-american"
Astonishing , since in the first, Uncle Duck quoted the words of the Apostle Paul and, in the second, his views on homosexuality are shared by at least 50% of Americans.
I suppose it all comes down to which half of America you live in and which Bible you read.
Fly on Uncle Duck and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
