Concerning Duck Dynasty's Phil R. : What happened to "While I may not agree with what you say..."
12/19/2013 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

Posted on 12/19/2013 7:12:12 AM PST by Laissez-faire capitalist

... I will defend to the death your right to say it."?

I don't see many [liberals] who once seemed to advocate this saying this now.

They may say that A&E has a right to protect its brand and thus suspend him indefinitely - and this may very well be true.

But even so, why not ALSO say what they say (when it comes to fellow liberals saying things) - that we should defend to the death his right to say this?

They can do/say both, right?

Maybe the old, die-hard liberals are gone, or have become hypocrites...

Or they became Republicans.

It wasn’t EVER about “equality” or “tolerance”.

I know. It was a rhetorical question.

They never meant it.

Just like Zero never meant it when he said, "If you like your insurance, etc., etc....."

If had just said he wanted to defecate and urinate on Sara Palin, he would still have a role on the show.

You have just put your finger on the difference between traditional Liberals and Communists.

We are opposing Communists who demand 100% absolute fealty to their ideology.

Imagine how terrifying a bearded white man who reads and believes the Bible, likes guns, shoots and eats animals must be to the gays and much of the Democratic base. It was only a matter of time before those wimpy liberals who dominate TV would come after this man.

If Palin and the Robertsons teamed-up and took the show to some Christian cable network, they would blow everyone else away in the ratings.

Well, this incident, and the incident with Paula Deen, show that that forces of political correctness are very strong. If you go against political correctness, you will be targeted for destruction.

Since liberals tell us how offended they are all the time about this and that, I want to express being offended. A homosexual group, GLAAD, released a statement indicating that this Duck Dynasty guy was speaking against his own Christian beliefs. It offends my sensibilities, that an areligious, amoral organization devoted to homosexuality, is going to tell us about Christian doctrine. When such people have no clue about Christianity in the first place.

But then, only liberals are allowed to be offended in this politically correct world we live in.

Anything that demeans gays must be punished. There are no rights or protections including free speech. It is even worse than using the N-word.

New world order seeks to get people to abandon the Bible, without which people then make their own sense of right and wrong.

This is required to open the door for NWO to establish its own idea of right and wrong and have the sheeple accept it.

In short, NWO seeks to take the place of God in human affairs.

Trust me, I know.

True, traditional Liberals would defend his right to say this, as would Conservatives and Libertarians.

It is coming down - in many ways - where conservatives, libertarins and conservatives are agreeing on many issues (NSA, drone usage, unending military expansionism, the federal reserve, fiat money printing, etc) that it is truly mind-boggling.

If these three would align against the Dem and GOP establishment, the Dem/GOP-e would crumble...
