WHY A&E CAVED TO THE DUCK DYNASTY CLAN….

Here’s the dirty little secret that has NOT been publicized during all the phony outrage over the GQ interview‼!

An A&E representative was with Robertson, 67, during his GQ chat and easily could have pulled the plug before his comments about gays became public.


The source also pointed out that the whole premise of the reality show — from the network’s perspective, at least — was mocking the conservative Southerners it depicted.


IGNORANT ASS LIBERALS!  The Robertson’s were multimillionaires BEFORE your condescending show…… and they are laughing at A&E all the way to the bank!

CRACKER BARREL RESTAURANTS BAIL ON DUCK DYNASTY SPONSORSHIP [UPDATE]

If you would like to contact them, here's the link...


I simply told them I loved their food and fast service when I travelled, but in the future I'd keep on driving....

UPDATE 12/22/2013:

Cracker Barrel Backtrack: Duck Back On Menu

"We made a mistake, we listened to you, and we apologize."

Nationwide country restaurant Cracker Barrel has reversed its decision of Friday to stop selling some Duck Dynasty merchandise with Papa Phil's face prominently displayed. Thanks to fierce customer backlash and a strong anti-Cracker Barrel Twitter campaign, the restaurant tweeted on Sunday that Duck Dynasty products are back on the shelves.

YOUR TAX DOLLAR AT WORK - AGAIN! MEET 'PAJAMA BOY'

This whole thing makes me sick - so maybe I need to re-think Obamacare... actually it makes me laugh until my sides hurt!





The panelists of MSNBC’s Morning Joe had a good laugh Thursday at the expense of “Pajama Boy,” the bizarre Obamacare ad attempting to drive conversations toward Obamacare over the holidays.
Described as a “hipster-ish model” by co-host Mika Brzezinski, the appearance of the bespectacled, sideways-glancing, cocoa-drinking, onesie-wearing manchild drew guffaws from Joe Scarborough, and the rest could hardly get through their comments without laughing themselves.
So tell me - does the goober in the flannel onesie make YOU want to buy into Obamacare?

FEEDBACK TO A&E RE: DUCK DYNASTY

Who died and made A&E the thought police?

Huge mistake..... huge mistake suspending Robertson.  I'm not a regular viewer of DD, but I will watch once more to get a list of the show's sponsors so I can tell them I'm boycotting not only A&E but their products as well.


Why doesn't A&E air an OVERTLY GAY reality series and see how long it lasts.  I just hope their bottom line begins to bleed RED, if it's not already.

 A&E:  Have a very Merry Christmas….ummmm  Happy Holiday..... ummmmm Nevermind.

And as an aside, Robertson's comments were made in a GQ (magazine) interview THAT IS YET TO BE PUBLISHED!!!!  Has the gay community's angst been simmering for nearly a year?  Or is this merely another attack on Christians at our holiest time of the year?  Hmmmm?  Odd timing, no?

LET’S HEAR IT FOR FREEDOM OF CHOICE! VOLT or 'VETTE???


By now, people who try to stay semi-informed about happenings in the news have heard about the new CEO selected to run General Motors.  HER name (yep – first woman to ever head up a U.S. auto company) is Mary Barra – a 33-year employee who started with GM when she was 18, and has literally worked her way to the top.

She definitely has the creds AND the experience for her new job.  But what I’m most impressed with is…… the gal has TASTE!
From the Raleigh N&O:

When Barra starts her new job Jan. 15, she will lead a company that's made nearly $20 billion since emerging from bankruptcy in 2010, much of it from the cars and trucks she helped develop.

The 51-year-old executive has been in charge of design, engineering and quality for all GM vehicles and has shepherded most of the company's recent new vehicle introductions. Under her command, GM rolled out brawny new full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Chevrolet Impala full-size car, which earned the highest score for a sedan in testing by Consumer Reports magazine.

She also led development of the new Chevy Corvette and several Cadillac models.  Her POV is a Cadillac….



NOT A SINGLE MENTION OF THE CHEVY VOLT!  

Apparently Ms. Barra likes muscle and luxury cars, and apparently there is still a market for both.

I find her rise to the very top of General Motors beyond interesting, especially since the government just sold the taxpayers’ stock in the company for a $10 BILLION dollar loss.  Somehow I don’t see a Chairman Obama selecting this lady! 

YOU GO GIRL!

On a personal note - just a darn shame that the Vette has so little trunk space!

IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHERE YOUR HEALTH CARE IS HEADED, THANK A DEMOCRAT!

One of the goals of Obamacare is to make the cost of healthcare less expensive.  

There are two ways to do this.  One way is to make medical care more competitive.  The other way is to make medical unavailable.  Obamacare will make medical care unavailable, by eliminating facilities such as children’s hospitals, and research and teaching institutions from insurance coverage.

The unspoken Obama lie is….. if you like your HOSPITAL, you can keep it – period. 

One of Obama’s scare tactics in selling Obamacare was his repeated comment that ‘most people are only one illness away from bankruptcy.'  Well, guess what...

PricewaterhouseCoopers released a study that said "the use of narrow networks may also lead to higher out-of-pocket expenses, especially if a patient has a complex medical problem that's being treated at a hospital that has been excluded from their health plan."

Just out this weekend - health-care exchanges in New York, Texas and California will not offer patients’ access to Memorial Sloan Kettering in Manhattan or MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston or Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.  Blue Cross Blue Shield in Tennessee created a new network that would not pay for treatment at several hospitals in the state, including world-renowned Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  

The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota had earlier been cut out of most health plans sold on the exchanges.

The network for the Anthem BlueCross BlueShield plans, which will be sold through Missouri’s “Obamacare” marketplace, does not include BJC HealthCare and its 13 hospitals - among them Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the area’s premier academic medical center, and St. Louis Children’s Hospital.  The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is already being limited as to who they can serve.

So it seems, if you need a hospital that might CURE you, you'll be paying out of pocket..... how's THAT for bankruptcy WITH INSURANCE!

And this is only the tip of the iceberg.  [Update 12/10/13..... your Obamacare may not carry your specialty medication, such as those for rheumatoid arthritis, or Parkinson's or MS.  There is also a mention of a 'try/fail' method for providing meds.... they try you on cheaper/generics to see if THEY will work, and when they fail, they will try something else..... anything to save a dime, yet the government has pisses away $700,000,000 on an antiquated, non-secure, non-OPERATING website!  Yeah, baby - THANK A DEMOCRAT!]

The government’s efforts to reduce medical care costs will mean the vast majority of healthcare consumers will be receiving medical care from doctors that graduated from foreign medical schools, or graduated in the bottom of their medical school class.  The quality doctors will be in the research centers…. and will be unavailable to the average citizen.

Except for our elected officials and government staffers…. but then, they are NOT average citizens, are they?

Obamacare is like an onion…. you have to peel away the layers (pass the law so you can learn what’s in it) to find that it is truly rotten to the core.

ALL CLEAR NOW ABOUT HOW OBAMA VIEWS AMERICA AND OUR ALLIES?

The U.S. delegation to Margaret Thatcher's funeral included no current Democratic officeholders or major cabinet members.  

The American flag was NOT flown at half staff at all when this long-time ally died.
“Instead of sending a high-ranking member of his own administration to lead the official delegation, President Obama has dispatched two former Republican secretaries of state, George Shultz and Jim Baker. Nothing against these men, but we can forgive the British for regarding Obama’s choice as yet another snub.”  The New York Post


President Obama and Lady Michelle Obama will go to Sud Afrika to pay their respects to the late president Nelson Mandela.  

The American flag will be at half staff for 10 days to honor Mandela, a man the United States once called a terrorist.

FREE STUFF...........

George Carlin once talked about collecting ‘stuff’ and then needing a bigger place for his ‘stuff’ as he got MORE ‘stuff’.  Wonder what he would say today……

THIS IS FUNNY......


BUT THIS IS NOT FUNNY......

Our government is not only giving away FREE STUFF, it often gives the people who are getting the FREE STUFF a PLACE to KEEP THEIR FREE STUFF.

Do you realize that, in the last few years, the folks who are getting FREE STUFF from the government don't like the taxpayers who are paying for this FREE STUFF, because the taxpayers who are paying for the FREE STUFF can no longer afford to pay for both the FREE STUFF and their own stuff.

Because of this, the taxpayers who are paying for the FREE STUFF want the FREE STUFF to stop.

But the folks who are getting the FREE STUFF want even more FREE STUFF on top of the FREE STUFF they are already getting!

Now... The government leaders who are forcing the taxpayers to pay for the FREE STUFF have told the people who are RECEIVING the FREE STUFF that the taxpayers who are PAYING for the FREE STUFF are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

And now, the government leaders have convinced the people who are GETTING the FREE STUFF that they should hate these taxpayers who are paying for the FREE STUFF because the taxpayers want the government to stop using their money to buy FREE STUFF to give away.

We have let the FREE STUFF- giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting FREE STUFF than paying for the FREE STUFF.

Did you know…….

All the great democracies of the world have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded.  The reason?

The voters figured out that they could vote themselves FREE STUFF from the government leaders by electing government leaders who promised to give them FREE STUFF in exchange for electing them.

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, which was 236 years ago.  Do the math.

Today the number of people getting FREE STUFF is larger than number of people paying for the FREE STUFF.  And every day, MORE people are getting FREE STUFF and fewer people are working to PAY FOR THE FREE STUFF for the people who do not work and are getting the FREE STUFF.

Anyone see a problem down the road because of this?  

(From an email – edited and revised by me.  Original source unknown)

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they worked for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!
