Perhaps Phil was put in the position he is in “for such a time as this”.

AMEN!

Why should I boycott the advertisers?

Not boycott, merely INFORM the advertisers about being seen on such an INTOLERANT network...

There is no clash. There is only the spectacle of the majority view being tard by a fake “outrage”.

Pretty much what I said when I read your post.

You said intolerant is a good thing, and that saying A&E was intolerant would be praising them, so logically...

Homos are the weapon to get Christianity criminalized.

Interesting thought. Further reflection indicated here.

Why is Big Capitalism so averse to freedom? And so perverse?

Bigthink is domination-obsessed. People like that don't care whether they're living at a Paleolithic standard of life, as long as they're the best boy in the cave.

Capitalism is more about innovation and growth. Innovation and growth threaten established dominators, so they reach to dominate the innovation/invention process, or the people who are doing it. Hence FDR bringing in the Brains Trust during the Depression to help him dominate the United States.

Hence also Harvard's (Domination University's) hiring a sociology/psych professor who was very interested in the differing thought pathways of domination-driven and innovative people, and the interplay between these two groups. They hired him in to get him off the market .... and then kept him locked up in tenure for the rest of his career. That is one way to kill an a-borning idea: take it private, then smother it.

The idea he threatened them with was this, that Harvard's products actually "suck bad" and are toxic to American freedom and progress.

Ford and Edison were inventive innovators ..... although they dominated their shops ..... whereas the run of mental runts crowding into DC these last 65 years are all about dominative behavior types, who suck up to get power, and then just suck when they have got it.

I wasn’t asking you to. The A&E info is on there also. Sometimes a call to an advertiser or an email will help them choose which way they’ll go when the wind blows their way.

True.

I want them to be as intolerant as possible.

No need to be so open minded that brains fall out.

My new response to accusations about homophobia will be, “So I take it you are Islamophobic?”

Mine is, "So, you are not a believer in GOD's Word?"


It still puts them on the defensive, but directs the focus where it belongs.

You need to remember merely two things:

Genesis 13:13
and
1 Corinthians 6:9-11


The first points out the SIN...


the second points out the CURE...

"While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible."

I see NOTHING 'coarse' about them at ALL!


Stick with the WORD, guys - you CAN'T go wrong!

2 Peter 2:6

... if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly...

I think we have a strange system here that’s not quite capitalism and not quite socialism - in other words, it’s fascism. Private industry exists, but is utterly dependent upon the government, both because of the financial benefits it gets from government and because of the regulatory control that government exerts over its day to day business activities.

Naturally, this means that companies must hew 100% to whatever the government’s latest political objectives may be and must be “politically correct” at all times in order to avoid potentially unpleasant attention from the government. It’s quite possible that there are companies and individuals in them who do not agree with the policies or philosophy of this government, but you’re certainly never going to hear them saying it.
