the firing harkins a coming "age of intolerance" against Christians

I don't think it's 'coming' but rather it's been around the whole obama administration and a number of years before that.

No. When you start out with lies you don't have a handle on anything.

Actually, when you start out with lies and treat it like it's a legitimate statement, you have a stacked deck.

At the very least, this most recent eruption of homosexual “tolerance” helps distract the nation from the numerous, increasingly severe failures of President You Didn’t Build That and his communist regime.

All in all I think the Conservative side is better armed but if you look at how the military has been infected by the Leftist PC virus you can’t count on them to be neutral. It all depends who is in charge when it finally hits the fan.

You’re absolutely right; this government doesn’t want people talking about our unreported inflation, high unemployment/stagnant wages, mass illegal immigration to replace a dwindling American population, the coming costs of ObamaCare, or the fact that none of these issues will improve in the foreseeable future.

If people understand how bad things were we’d have a revolution (today).

The homosexual gestapo has succeeded in intimidating people into keeping their opinions to themselves. Very few dared proclaim that homosexuality is, in fact, still a sin, regardless of parades, changes in the laws, and the silence of the masses.

Suddenly, a man who speaks the truth rocks this world. It’s not a preacher who speaks only to his own gathering, but a very public person. How dare he remind everyone that what homosexuals do is still sin. They thought they had shut that down, but now their consciences have been seared.

Personally, I think God has used Phil Robertson to open this up. I hope that many who are held captive by this horrible lifestyle will be moved to seek God and be healed. I suspect that many, if not most, of these people are not even aware of the healing power of God to free them.

If just one person is delivered from this because a seed has been planted, then it will be worth it. I’m sure that would make Phil, and all of the Robertsons, happy, happy, happy.

To Flaglady post #4. Thank you for those thoughts. That is the kind if a response and comment I appreciate most at FR. Thoughtful causing further thought. If most comments were similar (the opposite if anger and name-calling)...FR would be beyond any sort of reproach. That is the type comment I seek mining FR daily.

Worth repeating.

” I don’t think our side is misinterpreting the liberal viewpoint at all. I think we have a deep understanding of where the other side is coming from and we don’t like it. I see it more of a battle of good versus evil lifestyles, based on traits exhibited by the left. Licentiousness, constant lying about things big and small, a fascist, socialist ideology to justify their lifestyle, a petty, bureacratic mindset based on rules and regulations on those issues they favor and choose to enforce, lots of narcissistic personalities more interested in their own petty interests over that of the country, a lack of true patriotism for this country along with a blame America first mentality. Where are we going wrong here? We aren’t. “

Of course, both sides' reductionist views are incomplete.

Are they really? The view articulated by the writer about Blue America is spot on!

You said more of worth in five lines than the author of this article could dream of.

Your post 4 encapsulates why we need to get into this fight.

Innocent lives are at stake. we value the individual; the secular humanists value the State, both as a hammer for compliance and as a fount for their value system.

Isaiah chapters 1-10 depict where America is right now and where we are heading unless our course is corrected by a return to God and His Word as a nation.

I have never watched this show and I just can’t believe how this story has dominated EVERYTHING for over a week.

Of course I support Robertson rather than A & E in the dispute, but ohmigoodness can’t we find something else to talk about?

(But see.....here I am....talking about it!)

Merry Christmas to you and yours 2ndDiv - you always keep the threads hopping here!

And Lincoln got that quote from Jesus in the New Testament.

“It’s license to continue misunderstanding the other side.”

I understand the “other side” just fine.

Lincoln famously said in 1858 that a house divided cannot stand.

Indeed he did but he was paraphrasing the same Daniel, referred to by "HiTech RedNeck" in reply number 13.

I'm afraid that our "kingdom" has been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

“And Lincoln got that quote from Jesus in the New Testament.”

He was paraphrasing from the Book of Daniel in the O.T. Jesus cited O.T. Scripture frequently.

Homosexuals hate The Lord because He is the antithesis of their god, Satan, and He disregards all they value, which is their sexual deviance and worldly lives. Most of the people around me claim they are atheists and have not been brought up in Christ, have never gone to church, have nothing to believe in but what is in this world. Can you imagine how pathetic your existence must be if you value nothing higher than yourself, your sexual perversion, and the people around you and worship at the altar of homosexuality? No wonder so many atheists and homosexuals kill themselves!

Obamacare is unraveling, and Obama’s response to that failure is completely lawless.

Obama’s foreign policy is unraveling, especially in the Middle East, and Obama’s response to that failure is completely useless.

Obama’s economic policy is unraveling, and Obama’s response to that failure is empty rhetoric.

No, I don’t have to ask why the compliant media are creating an issue out of one actor’s comments, which match the views of half the country.
