He’s got “moxie!”
I was caught by surprise watching Neil Cavuto off and on, when an interview with Phil Robertson began. If you are familiar with this Duck Dynasty star, he doesn’t care much for public opinion. Rather, he’s concerned with truth, right, love of God, love of neighbor, love of Country. That’s the way the interview went. That’s what the book is all about. It completes the interview! Philosopher Peter Kreeft, in "Because God is Real" tells us, “Reason is the eye of the mind. Faith is the eye of the heart. The heart is at the center of the soul. All three can make mistakes. But when they do not make mistakes, when they know the truth, they do not contradict each other. Truths known by one method, or eye, cannot contradict truths known by another method, or eye. For truth can never contradict truth.” This seems to be what Robertson has going for him. He is in touch with truth. Acclaiming himself as a multimillionaire, he sees this as less important than speaking and proclaiming the truth, rather than cave to public opinion. That’s exactly what he does in this book, answering two handfuls of common lies we’re supposed to swallow with the truth he knows and lives. He’s got “moxie!” That’s why people follow him!
