Phil was stating Biblical beliefs and professing his Christian faith. Paula was being bitchy about blacks all those years ago. The difference is that Christians stood up for the Christian who risked it all. Paula is hardly a Christian standing up for our faith in that instance. And you are right to note her liberal voting roots, she was eaten by her own. Fitting.
I agree that Phil and Paula cases are two different situations entirely. And I agree, we Christians stand up for our Christian faith.
Paula was expressing herself, which she has the freedom to do in this country, until leftists decide to attempt to pick and choose who will have this freedom, and who won’t. Her liberal leanings didn’t help her one bit, and I read somewhere that her popularity at Food Network had diminished somewhat, and I think they wanted to dump her. I like Paula and her family values, and I hope she finds a niche somewhere else. I’m happy for both Phil and Paula, and may they both prosper.
