“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been fired from the reality program following his controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality.

A+E Networks, parent company of A&E, has released the following statement to Variety:

“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community.”

Thanks for the email address. I've sent them an email and just mentioned I wouldn't be watching their network anymore. By not watching, I'm, basically, boycotting the advertisers.

That said, when Duck Dynasty is one, I'll watch it...just to get their ratings up and shove it up A&E's anus!

Well, God works in mysterious ways.

I think the spate of modern “gayness” is in part a sign of a gospel that has gotten de-masculinized.

Where is the gospel power that made the knights errant do what they did? And I don’t mean it has to be Catholic... it can be done in Protestant churches too, but God has to be given credit for the capability of bestowing that power. (”If you do not ask, you will not receive.”)

Ironically, due to a “morals” clause in the contractual obligations the entire family may HAVE to continue to do the show, lest they suffer serious financial impacts and legal proceedings that may involve the network having control over the “Duck Dynasty” title, and other commercial marketing material, and keep the family from profitting on those goods and services due to those contractual agreements...

The devil is ALWAYS in the fine print...

I bet this does not turn out very well for the family...

They could reformat to another title, though. They would not be Duck Dynasty any more. It could be something like Godly Family Robinson (just the thought of a few seconds).

Some may. Me, I thank Him everyday....for a laundry list of things.

That said, this cultural embrace of queers has become intolerable.

This is going to kill the series. There’s no way the rest of the family will continue after A&E fired the patriarch the clan.

Duck Dynasty has been the top rated cable show for some time now. Shows you how committed liberals are to their politically correct views that they’d throw the show away for this.

The full character of the mystery of evil only shows up in the light of the mystery of godliness (who appeared in a body, and you can read the rest yourself).

And it turns out to be a cheap, tawdry, imitation thing. It’s only in the dark that the devil looks like any great shakes. In the light... he is a cowardly wimpy runt lying his rear off.

I totally support Phil. He is the hero of our time. In fact ,I now endorse him for President of theses United States. We don’t want these perverted homo’s doing these sinful acts. They use to go to jail before the went to hell. God has told us what to do to them in Leviticus. It is an abomination!!!Don’t do that to our GOD!! WAY TO GO PHIL!!

Dear Duck Dynasty,

Surely there is another network that will take the show. If your family does NOT agree with Phil then they are not the Christians they say they are.

A & E should KNOW that as Christians the Robertsons actually had convictions.

Will it move those who are bothered to make a positive gospel assault?

No it doesn’t mean America has stooped to the depths of a literal Sodom. Just re-read the dialogue of Abraham with God and that should be crystal clear.

But will we quit wailing “oh what a bother to us” and start shouting “Hallelujah, what an opportunity”?

The moment we do... the battle TURNS.

I e-mailed A&E and told them what I think and everyone should too. We also need to get a list of all of A&E advertisers and let them know we plan to boycott their products unless A&E reinstates Phil and apologizes.

I am so sick of this crap. Every damn day there is something like this that just makes my blood boil and I am fed up with it. We have got to stop this kind of stupidity.

You’re talking about faith like a mustard seed and mountains falling into the sea and sodomite and gomoronian cities creamed by fire and brimstone, aren’t you? And The Father is looking at His Son’s Church and waiting...and waiting...
