What A&E, GLAAD Missed with Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty

There has been something brewing underneath the surface of the culture in America for several decades, as opposition to anything related to Christ has ramped up, with some of it like abortion have dire consequences.

With the debacle at A&E concerning its Duck Dynasty show and Robertson family patriarch Phil, that pent-up frustration has flowed out onto the social media street, with an amazing amount of backbone that had been believed to be gone from believers in Jesus Christ in the United States.

What A&E and the vicious activist group GLAAD didn't know, was it wasn't gone at all, as Christians are called upon to suffer for His name's sake. Rather, what was happening underneath the surface was a dormant but powerful force waiting for the right time to be unleashed. That time has now come, and it is sweeping not only across the country, but across the world. I don't think things in America will ever be the same again.

Brutish GLAAD even acknowledged it's never had this type of negative response to its outrageous attacks on those calling homosexuality sin.

As bad as this overall was that A&E had videos of the Robertson's with the usual bleeps included to suggest the family members were cussing all the time. What the bleeps were in reality were references to Jesus Christ. Because of those actions alone, A&E deserves what it's getting.

The Robertson's were a wealthy family before they appeared on Duck Dynasty, and so the network had no pull to make them line up how they wanted them to.

Finally, the channel attempted to stop Phil from praying in the name of Jesus, which the family fought back on, and won, as the show had become the most popular reality TV show in history.

What really happened here is the Robertson family had millions of Christians who identified with them as being one of them. When the attack from GLAAD and A&E commenced, it became personal like an attack on a family member would be personal. GLAAD and A&E never had a chance.

These people actually believed their bullying tactics, which were usually against vulnerable people who didn't know how to fight back, had effectively cowered the Christian population in America. They were as wrong as they could be, and they will pay for that misjudgement in the years ahead. It's about time they did.

I truly believe this is the beginning of something far beyond Duck Dynasty and Phil Robertson. Christians are seeing that when they ban together, it is their enemies that are put on the defensive. It took this event to cause them to see this. It's doubtful they'll ever take the evil attacks of GLAAD and Hollywood like they have in the past. They will start to weaken as the righteousness of Christ grows in His people.
