I have never watched “Duck Dynasty” but the patriarch of the Robertson family, Phil recently got grief for the following comments. Duck Dynasty star, a vagina is more desirable than a man’s anus “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they…
