Why do I dislike the Duck Dynasty people so much?

“the redneck culture has really taken off”

Taken off as in “trendy” with the young folks? If so then I have to disagree. It is popular for tv execs to make shows about it, but it’s still the accepted group to slur against and to make fun of.

As for the Robertsons: In a way I admire them. In a way I’m a bit embarrassed by them. But I’m always thankful for their patriotism and their gratitude to God.

You really hit the nail on the head! That is exactly how I feel. And while they are a joke to the intellectual types, their ability to not be ashamed of God, or to say what the believe is something I secretly admire. I wish others were like that, I wish I was like that more. And sometimes, when I am ashamed or embarrassed by people like them, I really am just feeling guilty that I don’t have the cahones to stand for my faith or my country like that with people I know.

Yes and yes.

Reality shows are under attack for not being real. I don’t care if they are real or not. If I can learn something, laugh or be entertained, I will watch it. As for being scripted, I do watch some sitcoms, movies and news. They are scripted too.
