4. Change the word Muslim to Christian and Duck Dynasty proves that...

These types of Republicans love the Taliban.

The beliefs and practices they espouse are very similar, just that one change in word.

Duck Dynasty is proof positive of that, with the long unkempt beards, oppressive view on women and LGBT issues.

Though, then again, might have to add the condition, that it is fake or they don't actually mean it unless they can make money off of it.

Anyone know what the latest fashion is in discardable patriotism?

He wore that stupid headband. It's the SOTU, how about a little respect or some class. Gotta run with the hick image, I guess.

at least gotten an edge-up to not look like such a wolf, or maybe ditch that ugly headband, but it looks like that was out of the question. Gotta' stay in character, even outside of the show.
