The great divide

The whole Duck Dynasty brouhaha is a new dividing line in our culture. There is no neutral ground. There are others, Abortion is one. Homosex Marriage is another. What makes this unique is the reaction people have to this. Some are passive. Some are angry. Some think this is all stupid, Robertson needs to keep his ideas (even if they come from scripture) to himself.

How YOU react to this is a pretty clear indicator of where you are spiritually. Some will say, wait, I don't think this is that big a deal. Except it is one more way the division is illustrated clearly. You are now going to have to choose. The middle ground is washing away.

This isn't about Robertson, what he said 45 years ago before the great summer of "Love" would have been not only mainstream, but DUH. He has now demonstrated to all of us how far we have fallen as a culture, a church, a nation. Remember when David Wilkerson published "The Vision"? He predicted all this would happen in exactly this way. Now it is time to choose where you will stand.. not with Robertson, but with what was once the late great nation USA. We have become a cesspool. This writer demonstrates how far from grace we are. He represent exactly the other side's attitude about those who stand with me and others.

The duck and jackass dynasty

I got the gist of the "Duck Dynasty" thing after my first and only viewing: bunch of rural jackasses who somehow struck it rich get brought into our living rooms to be laughed at by the rest of us aristocrats.
