Why the "Duck Dynasty" Family Keeps Speaking Out Despite Vicious Attacks against ThemThe "beardless brother" explained why his family continues to be vocal about their Christian faith and how it informs their decisions, particularly in light of the response it elicits from those who oppose a Christian worldview. (Washington, DC)—[Charisma News] Alan Robertson, the eldest son of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, spoke once again at the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC on Saturday. (Screengrab via Values Voters Summit/via Charisma News) During that speech, "the beardless brother" explained why his family continues to be vocal about their Christian faith and how it informs their decisions, particularly in light of the response it elicits from those who oppose a Christian worldview. "In my lifetime, I've never seen more of an attack on traditional values, traditional family and, really, religious liberty—that's where we're living today," he said. "Every time I come in and speak for anything associated with FRC, or with Tony Perkins, I get the most vile, vicious, mean notes on my social platform that you could ever imagine. "Because [my family] is in the public eye I guess we're not supposed to talk about who we are [even though] it's OK for other people. So we're blasted." Tony Perkins is "a really convincing guy," he quipped, in response to questions about why he continues to endure the attacks. The FRC president keeps convincing him to come back, he said, but added there are really three reasons why he continues to "do what I do." "One is that I don't run from a fight," he said. "Especially when I'm right—and we are right about what we're talking about and so we don't need to run from them. You know, as dad said last night ... God has put us in this position on this Earth to be a mouthpiece for Him." "In America, we have over 300 years of history on our side. This country was founded on things we believe in and we should be able to talk about that consistently and not be maligned, yet we are. But you know what? That's OK, because God also told us that we would be persecuted for living a Godly life and speaking what we speak. "If it was good enough for Jesus Christ to be persecuted, then it's good enough for me. I'm not going to back away from the fight. I also want to join and support those who are willing to fight this cultural war going on for our souls—and that's what it is, a fight for the soul of America—because we know that we're citizens of this great country and we're very proud of that. We're also citizens of another Country—someplace that's higher, someplace that we want all men and women to ascend to—and really that's the third reason why. "Because I love everyone, even those who malign, and talk bad, and hate, and say the things that they say ... whether they hate me—I love them anyway. I want them to know about eternal life. I want them to know there's something beyond. I want them to know there's something better than even the family you have right here in the here-and-now—a life that's unimaginable when it's turned to Christ and turned to God."
