WASHINGTON, December 21, 2013 — With the onslaught of the media scandal involving Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, it’s become crystal clear to me that the Progressive left has turned America into a veritable nation of sheep. We are intimidated into keeping our mouths shut and sitting idly by while the media mafia trample our precious First Amendment rights. I’m not simply jumping on the bandwagon of this latest scandal. I’ve walked a mile in Phil Robertson’s boots. I’m not just talking the talk. I have walked the walk. Five years ago, I was the spokesperson for the landmark, controversial Prop. 8, and I endured the full gamut of the backlash that Phil Robertson is enduring now. The attacks came in all forms: accusations of bigotry, hate speech, even death threats. You name it, I received it. The only difference between Phil Robertson and me — well, other than the beard — is that conservative blogs which exist to defend Phil Robertson today didn’t exist back then. There was no such thing as Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze, or Michelle Malkin’s Twitchy. Even Twitter was just a glimmer in Jack Dorsey’s eye. It was a lonely journey, and those of us who worked hard to pass Prop. 8 were pioneers, of sorts, on this journey. Perhaps even more forcefully than Robertson is being told by A&E today, we were informed would never work again if we helped the passage of the marriage protection initiative. As the spokesperson for Prop. 8, I was warned numerous times that if I became too synonymous with supporting traditional values and traditional marriage, hence being seen as being anti-gay, that I would “never work in this town again.”

From the headline I thought the damn robot was warning Will Robinson again.
Yep, the folks that have always poo-pooed “the gay agenda” should see it in the light of day for what it is. Thought, speech, liberty and freedom control. Group think, goose stepping Orwellian control over a society.
I’ve been running all over social media.
In the trenches.
Winning.
LOL!
Really?....Go read the first post please-—and the Freeper responses after....Thanks
Kinda took away the “inside joke” aspect of it.
She’s still mad ‘cuz Jim Robertson’s team lost the 1954 Indiana State High School tournament to Milan High School.
Isn’t he the guy who supplied the hermetically sealed mayonnaise jars that Carnack the Magnificent kept on Funk and Wagner’s porch?
No he’s the one who fumbled the ball at second base as time ran out in the 9th inning.
no, you are thinking of Jim "Tommy" Thompson Robertson Rollins, he played shortstop for Boston Celtics when they won the world cup over the Pittsburgh Steelers by going up 300 runs in the first test.
So what was the official pacecar in 1985 and who won the pole position?
At first I thought maybe the losers went to Disneyland and the winners ended up at KFC. Now I think maybe they either ended up in Chinese restaurant or an old folks home in Toledo.
Didn’t he run for president once? Or was he the guy that ran Michele Bachmann’s campaign off the rails?
First I've heard of it. Care to provide details or a link, please?
He never came back either!
Don’t get it, yet.
Oh, don-o!
Guenevere, didn’t realize! Explains the Lost in Space ref.
