Phil Robertson's suspension highlights A&E's bigotry toward Christians says prolife group

Phil Robertson, star of the mega-hit reality show Duck Dynasty, has been suspended indefinitely for remarks made in an interview labeled “anti-gay” by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists.

“A&E has shown its cowardly bigotry toward Christians,” says Paul Rondeau, executive director of American Life League, the oldest Catholic pro-life group in the nation. “GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said, ‘Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe.’

“Instead of defending the religious expression of the Robertson family, A&E sides with GLAAD as the authority on what ‘true’ Christians believe.”

Robertson was indefinitely suspended from A&E’s Duck Dynasty after he told GQ magazine that he doesn’t understand how two men could enjoy making love to one another. Using anatomically correct language, the Duck Dynasty dad said that in his opinion, a woman has more to offer a man sexually than another man.

“America was a country founded upon Christian values,” Robertson told GQ, and “the gradual removal of Christian symbolism from public spaces has diluted those founding principles.”

Using the removal of Ten Commandment monuments outside of courthouses as an example, Robertson said, “Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong. Sin becomes fine.”

When the reporter asked what is sinful, Robertson listed homosexuality and promiscuity and quoted from 1 Corinthians. After the gay rights group GLAAD spoke out against Robertson's comments, A&E put him on hiatus.

Well, I ordered myself to remove my hind end from their table[s] and take my wallet with me. Removing me, and my wallet, from Cracker Barrel won't cause them to notice or care. However, if millions of mes removed themselves along with their wallets and purses, that might get their attention.

Bravo Candor7, you nailed the truth to this Donkey’s butt.
Never back down your spot on target>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Good Read: A&E originally wanted a show that ridiculed and laughed at “red-necks.” Duck Dynesty did not turn out that way, and now the cat is out of the box :

“America was a country founded upon Christian values,”

That statement is correct.

An America founded on Christian values presents a serious obstacle for the socialist agenda. To that end, the progressive agenda rewrites and omits American history in an effort to discredit America’s founders and America’s founding documents.

The progressive attempts to revise the history that clearly shows Christian values founded America. They quote the Treaty of Tripoli as proof of their assertion by purposely confusing the founding of the country with the founding of the government. It is unfortunate that many Americans today are unaware of America’s history or the history of the Constitution. Their ignorance makes them easy prey for the revised notion of history the socialist agenda proffers.

There are two major obstacles to the progressive movement. The first obstacle is that America’s Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of government. The second obstacle is that American rights came from their creator and not from their government.

The progressives influence the citizens who lack the information of America’s history that America is a Democracy and not a Republic. The reason for this step is that only in a Democracy can the majority take the decision to ignore laws.

I think the very words; Democracy and Republic confuse the low information citizens. That confusion added to their gullibility makes them susceptible to the progressive’s instruction that America is a Democracy, which of course it is not.

Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large groups.

It’s not about Progressive and LGBT viewers.
It’s about Duck Dynasty episode content that effectively counters Liberal Cultural lies

> Intellectual liberals believe that Truth is entirely a mental construct.

That’s because they have no need of the truth while typing on their laptop from a shielded an anonymous environment. When there are consequences for your actions you’re a little more careful with your mouth and your actions.
