MY TWO CENTS: THE PHIL ROBERTSON INTERVIEW
Posted on 12/21/2013 8:49:21 AM PST by ilovesarah2012
The suspension of “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson by the A&E Network after making controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality has been called a business decision. But now Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller is making a business decision of his own.
Miller announced on his personal Facebook page Friday night that A&E would no longer be welcomed to film or produce any of its programs or series with the help of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office or its facilities. "A&E has suspended Phil Robertson for talking about his conservative Christian beliefs," Miller wrote." None of us are without sin and I am not judging anyone. I am sure A&E made what they believe is a good business decision. Many people who disagree with A&E might choose to remain silent and there was a time when I might have done the same, but no longer. In my mind the punishment is unreasonable.
"I know it will not matter to A&E, but it will make me feel better. A&E has produced more than a half dozen programs with the assistance of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. They will not do any more with my assistance while I am sheriff. It is time for someone other than Hollywood and the news media to stand up for what is right!"

Thnx
Just dropped A&E...
Think our constituency is larger than theirs
YOU brought up a scenario that had no bearing on the article. IF OR NOT. It was a post suggesting the sheriff said something he didn’t.
Please quote my post where I wrote the Sheriff said he was not going to uphold his sworn duty. It wouldn’t hurt to put the post number on it.
“Unforced Error.”
I do have one question based upon your commentary:
You say that homosexuality is a sin like any other sexual act committed outside of a one man, one-woman marriage.
Excellent point.
Yet it raises a question in light of your Mormondom:
When your spiritual ancestors engaged in 19th & 20th century polygamy, were they, too committing such sinful sexual acts?
And, if so, have you ever weighed in against them?
If not, why not?
Thanks. I received a warm computer generated reply promising to look into my email by a live human being in the near future. We'll see. Meanwhile another story....
Yes, the FR bookmarks. Thanks so much!
Another stand up American.
Have you ever been to Douglass county?
Google "Sheriff Earl Lee"
“These vile and disgusting “people” are also without any moral compass, intellectual honesty or common human decency what-so-ever. They are purely destructive in everything that they do. They bring nothing uplifting or positive to society nor do they contribute to the advancement of their fellow man.
They deserve nothing more than all of the scorn and shunning than we can heap upon them.
I have reached the point where I will never wittingly come to their aid or assistance. Sad to say, but that is my reality.”
I find myself rapidly approaching your position.
Like I said, it’s sad. However, what these “people” are doing to our society is even worse. The fact that the evidence is right there for all to see is proof enough.
If it comes down to a choice of the preservation of our society or them, I’m duty bound to stand on the side of our society.
There is no other alternative that is acceptable.
