No matter how you slice it...
This Phil Robertson fellow spoke out against homosexuality and the degenerate nature of societies which accommodate and indulge it...
Then elements of the so-called Gay Lobby and supportive elements of The Left began to react, directing their disapproval at A&E...
Then A&E panicked in the gutless, nutless manner so typical of the more cowardly elements in the Corporate domain, in anticipation of a broader Gay Lobby flare-up, and suspended Robertson - most likely in anticipation of an eventual contract cancellation or firing...
Then a few other corporations began pulling related merchandise from their shelves, worried over the Gay Lobby reaction...
Then a delightfully surprising Push-Back occurred on the part of Mainstream America - including large percentages of folks on the Right, Center AND Left - from the heterosexual Mainstream... a Straight Pushback which arrested the pending corporate destruction of Robertson and the Duck franchise and its merchandising...
Sensing this spontaneous and immensely powerful Straight Pushback, those merchandising concerns flip-flopped - alarmed over the scope and scale and strength of that Pushback - and scrambled to reverse themselves and accommodate the startling and unanticipated demand for Duck merchandise, as Christmas sales of such went through the roof - Mainstream America voting with its dollars...
In an 11th-hour effort to reverse the fortunes of the Gay Lobby (
and that percentage of The Left that went out on a limb to support it) in the matter, washed-up has-been hate-mongers and race-pimps and baiters such as Jesse Jackson tried to barge onto the scene and feign relevance, a day late and a dollar short, and were swiftly brushed aside by developments, the most signifying of which being...
A&E concedes Reality, swallows its pride, and reinstates Robertson et al.
In a mollifying and collaborative move - possibly pre-arranged by a desperate A&E - the Robertson's throw a small bone at the Gay Lobby with some vague and meaningless drivel about regretting the use of harsher and more graphic verbiage and about possibly having misconstrued some elements of Scriptural prohibitions and condemnations...
The world takes note that Phil himself did not make a personal and explicit amendatory statement.
The Gay Lobby (
and its fellow-traveler elements on the Left) - desperate to save face - try to spin this 'small bone' of Robertson's as something significant, while the rest of the Left, and the Center, and the Right, all look on with bemusement and amusement, fully cognizant of the highly toxic levels of bullshit associated with such lame-assed face-saving attempts, and laughing at it...
Sensing that their spin-doctoring isn't sufficient even merely for face-saving purposes, the Gay Lobby (
and its small uber-loyal faction on the Left) are belching sour grapes and pissing and moaning about choosing profits over minority feelings, now that they've lost their Fear Factor Leverage.
Chalk-up another win for the Good Guys (
everybody outside the now-oppressive Gay Lobby and its small-ish uber-supportive element on The Left)...
Between the abortive Gay Lobby bullying of Chick-Fil-A in 2012 and the strength of the Straight Pushback at that time, and the abortive Gay Lobby bullying of A&E, Cracker Barrel, etc. in 2013 and the
overwhelming and decisive strength of the Straight Pushback we see now...
A corner may have been turned, in that the vastly larger Straight population has reached its limit, in allowing itself to be pushed aside to accommodate a tiny minority whose sexual practices and related militancy and activism set them apart from the rest of Mankind...
It's about time...
Ahhhhhh... life is good...
