Last week’s depressed ratings for the season premiere of “Duck Dynasty” might not have been a fluke.

The second episode of the season dropped steeply from the season premiere, shedding nearly 2 million viewers.

Wednesday’s “Duck Dynasty” drew 6.7 million total viewers — off considerably from last week’s premiere haul of 8.5 million total viewers.

While this wouldn’t be the first “Duck Dynasty” season to suffer a ratings dip in its second episode, Wednesday’s numbers do indicate a troubling trend for the A&E show. Ratings for last week’s season premiere dropped 28 percent from the Season 4 premiere in August, which amassed a record-setting 11.8 million total viewers during a period when networks were heavy into repeat mode.

Wednesday’s ratings were also the lowest-rated episode since the Christmas-themed Season 2 finale in December 2012, which brought in 6.5 million total viewers.

The current season’s premiere also came in below the Season 3 premiere last February, which garnered 8.6 million total viewers.

Last week’s season premiere was the first “Duck Dynasty” episode to air since controversy erupted over homophobic comments series star Phil Robertson made to GQ. During an interview with the magazine, Robertson — who describes himself as a product of the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle who turned to God after hitting rock bottom — said that gay people “won’t inherit the kingdom of God” and likened them to “drunks” and “terrorists.”

I think the ratings drop is an indicator that people, the masses of conservatives, are starting to show their displeasure with Liberal hate and intolerance and not forgiving them as easily as they use to.

I didn't really watch DD, mostly because A&E is a lame channel, but, there are a few A&E programs that I use to watch a couple times a month - I have made it a point to NOT watch ANY A&E programs since they chose to show their hate for conservative values. I have also emailed many advertisers and told them why.

I bet you would find that it's not just DD that lost viewers, it's the entire channel.

A bunch of new viewers tune in to the premier to see what all the fuss was about, the next week the numbers go back to normal and the leftist idiots declare victory.
Do you see why they are called Useful Idiots?
