Response to the Duck Dynasty Post:

 To the people that have read the prior post and somehow came up with this theory it sounded like gay bashing or bigotry you need to go back and reread it again. To clarify my position on this I was simply stating the obvious. Taking the focus off the real problems of the day and that being millions out of work, the Constitution being shredded on a weekly basis, and every group in the world screaming we have special rights. It's funny how I did not see one woman, not one, or even one Liberal Group, or even one Women's Group say a word when MSNBC trashed Palin with terms like defecation and urinating in her mouth. Now imagine the same thing being said about Michelle Obama. Could you even gauge the outrage that would ensue. I do not care about what people do in their own rooms and lives, but I do care about a persons right to say how they feel. If we were all real about this there is damage and blame on all sides. But the more we separate ourselves into groups the more likely this grand experiment will fail and fail horribly

There will always be speech that offends people of all backgrounds, but that is what this country was founded on. You cannot make people love something just because you feel you are right. Education is the best response. A well founded debate ends with, people who agree or disagree, but it ends there. You do not end a intelligible argument with name calling or slander. Because you become the hypocrite by preaching one view and when your argument falls, you resort to slander or name calling. 

"When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”
Socrates 

"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” Ben Franklin
