Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I know you disagree, but what I mostly disagree with you on is the fact that you blatantly mischaracterize what the guy actually said.

Ya, well you are parsing carefully. Making differentiations that I don't find credible. I hear him singing from a very old racist choir book, the psalm remains the same.

I didn't read you last post. Start a thread in FYI if you dare.

Today we got OUR Christmas present!

Today we got OUR Christmas present!

But we don't get to see it opened until Sunday, and hopefully it will not have been damaged in transit!


HDS! Got a Package People!

In the Christmas spirit, why don't you also get rid of the avatar. I don't think the african-american packer players would want a fan who says blacks were happier before they got those civil rights.

Maybe the guy is not a klansman, I never watched the show, could even be a lovable curmudgeon. Perhaps you can excuse an ignorant old fart for making ignorant, hateful comments about gays, but why put a packer headband on him and make him a hero?

Speaking of the Christmas spirit, what is more traditional than a packerrats family argument? I remember the year I drove home dressed as Santa Claus to entertain the kiddies. I fell asleep on a den room floor that night, and my dad entered and insisted I repark my car. I refused, on this bitter cold xmas eve, to accommodate pops. He began kicking as I lay obstinately, half asleep on the floor, I determined that the morning would be soon enough. Bad language was used. The thought of Daddy kicking Santa Claus late into xmas eve is one of my most poignant xmas memories.

I behaved badly, I suppose, but I chalk it up to youthful indiscretion, I was only 50. Dad had a lot of life in that leg for a 75-year-old.

HH you just made me cry and laugh like you so often do.

Huck...

Maybe take a closer look at Phil Robertson. He's a self confessed 'Red Neck'. Yet Phil Robertson and the clan? No that cannot be. Red Neck or not, surely in his faith he's not that much of a silly screw bad ass really dumb hypocrite.

Ole Phil Robertson, who's just a wee bit older than I am. A heck of a lot $richer$, and uses his own duck calls, while mine is purely vocal. Ole Phil, can bend into a duck hunt break dance at any moment. Ever try hunting ducks dressed all in white? If you ever go there... you have to boost your butt out of my duck blind. I'm an experienced duck hunter based in my Dad's instruction and skills. Ole Bert was the duck slayer. You had to be carefully camouflaged to sit in our blind.

Phil Robertson and the Packers may simply be a decent photo shop job. I'm not at all sure he's a Packer fan but if he is ...OK. Today he has something else to have faith in besides his redemption. A man that was given the same name as the brother of Moses has been declared Packer alive today. TT and Dr. Patrick McKenzie almost miraculously resurrected Aaron from the Green Bay Packer limbo, 'or sidelines', for the next game day.

Do I agree with all that Phil Robertson is? Of course not as I wouldn't with any man's/woman's total ways. Yet in my views he's OK. It's a challenge to trust all that's merely human.

He does deserve all rights to free speech in an America where that's dying daily. Where individualism is a platform better tread with caution and too often, served with crow. The eyes and ears of the very weak 'Power Groups' surround us.

Phil Robertson the Patriarch of Duck Dynasty does have a right to make his interpretations wrong or right. Mr Phil Robertson is qualified or eligible for all the peace his faith promises; because he clearly doesn't stand in any judgement of any man/woman of any color or sexual persuasion.

Phil Robertson claims that he loves his fellow man. That's all he need focus on besides his faith that he can help deliver some light. Phil Robertson like all of us has weak days / moments.

Why may we have carte blanch in this thread that will be soon removed?

Mad says that's how Packerrats must be. Packaged and parceled.

Anything else and this collection of Packer fans and this place would be like a dress rehearsal for 'a walk down the yellow brick road'. Lets hold hands everyone... and sing Kumbaya. Wouldn't that be a rip!?

Try thinking 'just' for yourself for a change and never simply join the crowd; that's so liberating ! Eh!?

This discussion has a better place (see FYI). So why this post?

Any critique of Phil Robertson or offer of support, unfortunately, has to be centered in some specific argument on this thread RE: Freedoms, Peace, Joy of acquaintance if not friendship. I cannot be wrong 'right here' EVER. My faith that strong.

[woodbuck27]

Hey 'the Holidays' are still on in my life. This is a real day to celebrate so very much.

Any argument and this Phil Robertson avatar that 'M' has chosen... is better discussed as gentleman do in FYI.

Please don't kick shit on one another of all places.... on this thread.

Uhh oh, woody, your comment brings to mind some old pics that were once associated with you in the packerrats schoolyard:





Forgive me.

Until reading this thread, I thought the guy in Rand's avatar was a member of ZZ Top.

'The Reverend' Billy Gibbons the 'Yoda' of lead guitarists and lead singer and bassist and co-lead vocalist Dusty Hill have the beards.

Ironically Frank Beard the tight drummer is beardless.
