It's time for 'Blowback' Mountain. Freedom to praise the Lord and speak truthfully about His creation.

I thought we had freedom of speech, and freedom of thought? We should be able to express our opinions, and have people respect (but maybe not agree with) said opinions?
I hope the whole family all quit A&E in protest and move to a more worthy network, if it exists.
This is so totally wrong.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Bring back Phil Robertson!
A&E is a 50% venture between Disney and Hearst. If the family rallies around the father and shuts down the show, these two companies will lose a lot of money from the product sales (their bread and butter). Trust me, there are some big licensees freaking out about this, I’m sure Bog Iger (Disney) will be getting some calls. Get the popcorn, this will get interesting.
Bog = Bob Iger
The conservative backlash will be like the “Chick-Fil-A” supporters on steroids. It may severely weaken A&E for being cowards. And it may finally expose the hypocrisy of the GLAAD mafia: the Pope is their new hero, even though he has the same beliefs as Phil on this issue. Hate the sin, love the sinners.
Duck-Phil-A, anyone?
Haha. Chick-Fil-A ... Duck-Phil-R. Lmao
Anything short of an endorsement is a hate crime.
How soon before our children are expelled from school for rejecting same sex date offers to the prom?
The camel”s nose is under the tent already!
I know this a bit off topic, but I can’t help commenting on your opening line, “for the record”. My wife and I gave up our TV about 5 years ago, and we haven’t looked back. We are every bit as informed as those people that watch the “news” on TV, and probably a lot more. No newspapers either. We learn what’s going on in the world exclusively from the internet.
Anyhow, the post was great. You couldn’t have said it much better. I see that one of the contributing comments to this site suggests that the entire family boycott future productions. A great suggestion. And they should tell A&E not only that they must take Phil Robertson back, but they must apologize for challenging his right to express his “offensive” religious beliefs in other outlets.
I have a sense that the vast majority of their viewing audience are loyal to these guys and will support them in any action they take. Where they could go from here is beyond me (remember, I don’t have a TV), but if he is a man of his word, which I suspect he is, he will trust the Lord Jesus Christ to show him what to do next to prepare him for the next life.
The faggotization of America is near completion.
“I thought we had freedom of speech, and freedom of thought? We should be able to express our opinions, and have people respect (but maybe not agree with) said opinions?”........
Back when this country was America, we DID have those freedoms. Unfortunately there are those who have decided to take those freedoms away and have since turned America into a 5th world country as even in some of the 3rd world countries you wouldhave such freedoms. Not so here in the U.S. IMO, I totally support and encourage Phil Robertson to keep saying what his beliefs are and if others don’t like it, they can go somewhere else. REAL Americans need to take this country back.
If the jerk didn’t want his opinion, he should not have asked the question...I got a feeling, they hope to get him to say something they want to here, not what his opinion is...gotcha question....oops...got an answer..The media is to use to getting meally mouth answers from people that fear the media...LOL
People who believe in God and Christ of the Bible, should get their values, morals and intellectual pursuits out of scripture, both inspired and limited. Otherwise, why pretend to be Christian, when religion doesn’t require it? If someone wants to be homosexual, religion will accommodate it without their pretending citizenship in the Kingdom of God permits it.
“.I got a feeling, they hope to get him to say something they want to here, not what his opinion is...gotcha question....oops...got an answer.”
I absolutely believe the media purposely orchestrated this controversy. First, the scheduled interview with BArbsra Walters, the GQ? These two don’t even remotely identify with the Robertson family’s values. Their purpose was to either ridicule or stir up trouble. Their show was getting way too popular and couldn’t be ignored any longer.
