Don’t bring them back. Some other Network will want them and they should hold out for that. When someone craps on you, let them suffer for it.
Phill spoke the truth and should be commended and not have his First Amendment Right to Free Speech violated by A&E, advertisers and the gay lobby.

529k likes so far, or well over half of the average audience for an A&E show.
It’s sort of suspicious that the response “rates” (which look “rounded” at best) are staying the same even though the total votes (precise counts) are changing.

Forget it. Our betters have made the decisions and we must obey. Equality is being achieved expect for those antiquated and evil values and social norms that must be destroyed. Like Oprah, says, hurry up and die.
Phil Robertson did nothing offensive. I think most people on both sides of the aisle will agree. It’s just more propaganda.
I saw the pic and said to myself, boy, Phil's comments were right on.........LOL!
It’s time for decent, traditional values Americans to stand up to the PC/diversity (so long as you AGREE WITH US)/tolerance (IF YOU DON’T TOLERATE OUR WARPED VALUES AND OUR EFFORTS TO TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN WE WILL DESTROY YOU) HYPOCRITES and tell them that the resistance has finally begun!
I wrote the following to A&E:
A&E
I am offended at your action to take Phil off the show and demand his immediate return without any force upon him to apologize!
I and Millions of Christian Viewers support Duck Dyansty and the Robertson’s values and find it offensive that your organization would stop Phil from being on His Own show as a direct result of His Free Speech rights!
Let me be clear: Disagreement on the LGBT lifestyle choice does not equal Hatred or Discrimination!
We live in America which is a Free Speech country and We will not be silenced by the Spector of Political Correctness gone out of control.
When did corporate discrimination become acceptable if done against Christian thought and actions but all other groups are excluded?
I assure you that if Phil is not immediately reinstated Christians will take action by looking to your sponsors and demanding that our Free Speech rights are not violated; and if no action is taken...the 14 million viewers can stop buying your sponsors products and stop watching your shows...since when does the LGBT groups speak for the majority of Americans?
Phil comments are On Target; therefore, where is the debate?
If the LGBT lifestyle choice is so correct...it should stand up to the same level of analysis as the minority pushes upon the majority over heterosexual marriage. In other words, I don’t see A&E suspending LGBT persons for comments against Christians.
If fidelity to your ‘values’ is the objective of Phill’s termination then you must take equal action to push back on GLAAD and the LGBT groups. Taking action to enforce the same policy against their demands to silence Phil based on a Christians viewpoint expressed in a none related venue to A&E or Duck Dynasty.
I didn’t hear much from women when Maher called Sarah Palin a c___t. Double standard here or just a bunch of dumb broads.
It is obvious that at A&E homosexuals rule.

My guess is that the Robertson family will choose not to film another season of Duck Dynasty and will leave A&E. They will have plenty of suitors for their show but they may just chuck TV after this experience. The family is wealthy and not greedy so they won't sell their souls for a buck. A&E was stupid and I hope they regret trying to coddle the pervert class that is a tiny fraction of the U.S. population but are treated as if they were the majority.
A and E is not violating PR’s right to free speech. A and E has no obligation (unless his contract says it does) to provide him a platform of any sort.
If their hasty action has violated the contract with PR, they will live to regret it, if PR is able and willing to pursue redress in court.
The best thing to come out of this is that PR’s actual graphic description of the unnatural acts is getting widely disseminated.
Maybe the real problem is A&E might be a real left and gay organization. Has anyone researched this? Sounds slightly weird to me.
The buzz word that needs to be used to describe this is “CENSORSHIP”. . . that is all we heard from libtards years ago.
If every Duck Dynasty cast member publicly referenced scripture against homosexuality would A &E indefinitely ‘suspend’ them all? What happens to the contract then?
