Here's how Phil should handle it. Next interview instead of apologizing ask a couple of questions:
Phil: Is it ok if a lesbian says "I prefer a woman's vagina over man's anus?
Interviewer: Of course.
Phil: Then why is it as a heterosexual man I can't say the same thing?

A&E = gAy&E

Placing Mr. Robertson on “hiatus” shows how completely clueless A&E is. The reason the show is so successful is because of him. He walked some bad trails, but then found the forgiveness of Jesus. And from then on he and his wife raised the boys to be, as he has said, “Godly men.” When his youngest was going down the same bad paths as Phil, the family stepped in and saved him. A&E is not used to dealing with people like this. The Robertsons aren’t some airheaded clan from L.A. who would sell each other out for top billing. They know that they can depend on their faith and each other. And A&E will find out what happens when you try to separate them from that faith and family.

And, that, fellow Freepers, is why the First Amendment must be expanded to protect free speech in private employer-employee relationships. Maybe a SCOTUS more enlightened and open-minded than the present one (and that's not hard to imagine) will remedy this error in a future decision.

I believe this is all God’s work. How would The Duck Dynasty reach millions of Christians without this show? Now, how would Christians unite to spread the Word without Phil’s firing? God’s will be done.

I doubt if there are many homos that watch DD. It’s the Christian, regular joes that love the show and without us, there will be no viewers. I think all the networks are run by homos that are absolutely hateful and full of guilt towards anyone that doesn’t accept their deviant behavior.

Phil is happy, happy, happy. Gay & E is sad, sad, sad.

Buying Duck Dynasty merchandise supports A&E.
Buying DUCK COMMANDER merchandise supports the Robertson family.

2 Timothy 3
(ESV)

Godlessness in the Last Days

1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

Very slippery slope.

I would prefer the free market take care of this. If there’s demand from the public, in this case Duck Dynasty, someone will put it on the air.

I don’t want to be told by the gov that I can’t fire someone who reps my company or product that voices something I’m opposed to.

I think its a shame that our world now prefers the evil over good but I don’t want the gov involved in more of my business then it already is.

Thanks for this link (thepinkswastika.com). Now I see a more complete picture of what is going on with the gay movement. Their militancy is not going away but will only explode in another attempt to overrun the world as the “good” people passively watch. Time to wake up people! War is brewing. Good people are not passive but engage and defeat the enemy.
Perhaps we have been so passive in not converting the world to Christ as workers in his field and not nurturing the Christian life, enjoying life instead, is one reason that this depraved movement has been allowed to revive and rear its ugly head.

“I would prefer the free market take care of this.”


I would to, in a perfect world. Unfortunately in the real world, the free market takes the coward’s way out, as A&E did in this case.

“cowards do nothing but run away or turn and hide.”

Nothing to emulate and promote.

God’s Word is to honored, guiding us in the way eternal; to be with the everlasting Father.

Thanks for the clarification. Duck commander as you say supports the family, while a duck dynasty money goes to a&e either purchase makes a noise that that cannot be ignored.
That noise is the only meaningful response, that is the gay kerching kerching of cash registers.

Thank you for the above posting. Timely every day.

God bless America and all believers seeking to please our LORD, in Jesus name.

I hear ya but that’s like kind of over and done with. A&E got the message and caved and a lesson was learned. So some good came out of it.
