#1 promising to run a public-service campaign about tolerance and inclusiveness

Does this inclusiveness extend to the likes of Phil?

#2 Some people confuse personal belief and practice with something other than preference.

#3 I've never watched more than 2 minutes of the show whilst channel surfing and I'm already a huge fan. How can that be ?

#7 In what has become a glaring example of the sad state of the political/cultural environment I'd like to introduce you to my wife. Mrs. C is the sweetest most trustworthy, give the benefit of the doubt, political naif and as disinterested as can be.

She's a Kindergarten teacher, not particularly religious, conservative in her values in a live and let live sort of way. Oh yeah, we also have two older cats she rescued from shelters (the first one died so we got a replacement).

This regime and the left wing in the media have turned her into a more cynical person than me, and that's saying something.

Vis a vis the Duck Dynasty kerfuffle the following have occurred:

1) She doesn't believe that A&E is either as stupid or left-wing ideologue as they look. She believes that the whole thing is a cynical marketing ploy to increase ratings and sales of merchandise.

2) She has encouraged me to apply for a gun license (note: that I'm mildly interested in guns and she has never wanted one in the house) and to get a gun here in MA.

3) She now chacterizes GLAAD and the Zero regime as (my paraphrase)Fascist bullies. This despite her sister being gay and her having zip, zero, zilch issues with gays in general.

And last but not least she has been encouraging me to become active in the Tea Party. I may consider it when I get over my shock.

Come join us, AlanC, and bring her along too. It'll be the best decision you ever made (other than getting that gun). :-D

#10 Shot a duck once. Landed right in the middle of the pond, tits up. Spend the rest of the day throwing stones at it trying to nudge it over to the edge of the pond. Swimming duck dog would have been nice to have that day.

#11 ...I suspect Phil, unless controversy is the desired outcome, shall be more circumspect in his future interview answers...
