Duck Dynasty TV star Alan Robertson said he can’t remember a time in America were Christian values and religious liberty were more under attack than they are today.
Robertson, the son of Duck Commander founder Phil Robertson and who some regard as the “beardless brother,” spoke to a room full of evangelical and social conservative voters at the Family Research Council’s Values Voters Summit —- and proclaimed that he is not afraid to face liberal backlash for publicly voicing his beliefs on biblical teachings on sexuality and marriage.
Robertson told the crowd, “Every time that I come and speak for anything associated with FRC or with Tony [Perkins], I get the most vile, vicious, mean notes on my social platforms that you could ever imagine because I am a person, obviously, that is in the public eye as a part our family,”
Robertson implied that there could be a double standard when it comes to celebrities speaking out politically. But he said there are three reasons why his family continues to publicly advocate for traditional Christian teachings….
First, they don’t run from a fight.
Second, history is on his side and because America was founded on the principles he espouses
And lastly, he doesn’t mind being maligned because God told us that we would be persecuted for living that godly life and speaking what we speak.
Adding, if it was good enough for Jesus Christ to be persecuted then it is good enough for me, And, I am not going to back away from the fight.”
