Marry girls when they are 15 and "they will pick your ducks"



Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson: Marry girls when they’re about 15 or 16 (VIDEO)
December 29, 2013 by Egberto Willies http://egbertowillies.com/2013/12/29/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson-2/

It seems like Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson has a full repertoire of offensive comments. They are all showing up in videos. First we were made aware of his homophobic rant and racist condescension to blacks.

This new video is simply unbelievable. Does this guy forget that this is a world where everything is recorded? In the video above Phil Robertson says the following in a rather disturbing monologue.

“Now that’s a woman. They got to where they’re hard to find. Mainly because these boys are waiting til they’re twenty years old before they marry them. Look, you wait til they get to be twenty years old and the the only picking that’s going to take place is your pocket. You got to marry these girls when they’re about fifteen or sixteen and they’ll pick your ducks.”


Is Phil Robertson the type of man we want on our TV screens? ...........

Concerns Rise Over Known and Potential Impacts of Lead on Wildlife
http://www.nwhc.usgs.gov/disease_information/lead_poisoning/
Page Last Modified: Jun 18, 2013

Seventeen years after nontoxic shot requirements were established for hunting waterfowl, attention has shifted to lead poisoning in other species. These include upland game birds, scavengers (such as vultures, hawks and eagles) and other waterbirds that are exposed to lead through the ingestion of spent lead shot, bullet fragments and fishing sinkers.

...........

The most significant hazard to wildlife is through direct ingestion of spent lead shot and bullets, lost fishing sinkers, tackle and related fragments, or through consumption of wounded or dead prey containing lead shot, bullets or fragments.

Dr. Barnett Rattner, USGS contaminant expert comments, "The magnitude of poisoning in some species such as waterfowl, eagles, California condors, swans and loons, is daunting. For this reason, on July 1, 2008, the state of California put restrictions on the use of lead ammunition in parts of the range of the endangered California condor because the element poses such a threat to this endangered species." Lead poisoning causes behavioral, physiological, biochemical effects and often death. While fish ingest sinkers, jigs and hooks, mortality in fish seems to be related to injury, blood loss, exposure to air and exhaustion rather than the lead toxicity that affects warm-blooded species.

Although lead from spent ammunition and lost fishing tackle is not readily released into aquatic and terrestrial systems, under some environmental conditions it can slowly dissolve and enter groundwater, making it potentially hazardous for plants, animals and perhaps even people if it enters water bodies or is taken up in plant roots. For example, said Rattner, dissolved lead can result in lead contamination in groundwater near some shooting ranges and at heavily hunted sites, particularly those hunted year after year.

Research on lead poisoning has been focused on bird species, with at least two studies indicating that the ban on the use of lead shot for hunting waterfowl in North America has been successful in reducing lead exposure in waterfowl. The authors found that upland game, like doves and quail, and scavenging birds, such as vultures and eagles, continue to be exposed to lead shot, putting some populations (condors in particular) at risk of lead poisoning.

Some states have limited the use of lead shot in upland areas to minimize such effects, and others are considering such restrictions.

Two things to remember if you think this Duck Dynasty thing is about anything except bigotry




1. Conservatives have rallied to Phil Robertson's defense, arguing that employers should not be allowed to fire someone for making homophobic remarks.

2. Conservatives oppose passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, because they believe employers should continue to be allowed to fire someone for being gay.


To recap: It's the gays who should be fired, not the people who make bigoted remarks about them.

The Duck episode was another Chick-fil-a moment and look at how they flocked to them.

"They" are getting the art of rallying businesses down pat...aka, having all their ducks in a row, so to speak.

For example, Palin rose to his defense before she knew what he said. There is a knee-jerk reactionary defensiveness about hatred, a sort of self-loathing need to rant loudly that seems symptomatic of guilt tripping.

They want emotional reactions, not rational thought. That's OK if it's a comedy or drama, something that's known to be fiction but, many TV viewers are now so propagandized that they can't even tell the difference between reality and fiction. The sad thing about them is that they've done it to themselves too, by refusing to learn about how easily our media was corrupted and then refusing to even accept that it occurred.

TV execs target people who they think are dumb enough to watch and they do indeed find them.
