Copyrighted Image? DMCA | The American conservative movement has devolved into self-parody. That was clearly evident on Friday, when Duck Dynasty reality TV star, Phil Robertson, was handed a microphone and given a prominent speaking slot on stage at the CPAC convention. In his long, and often barely coherent speech, the Duck Commander warned the audience that America was becoming sick from sexually transmitted diseases and that wherever Jesus is missing, territorial conquest and murder ensue. He counseled the GOP presidential candidates, to "carry your Bible with you and your woman." There is a reason Robertson was invited to take the stage at CPAC. While his delivery may be unique, his views are not on the fringe of the Republican Party, they are part of the GOP mainstream. That should concern all of us. |
