WASHINGTON, December 21, 2013 With the onslaught of the media scandal involving Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, its 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. Im not simply jumping on the bandwagon of this latest scandal. Ive walked a mile in Phil Robertsons boots. Im 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 didnt exist back then. There was no such thing as Glenn Becks TheBlaze, or Michelle Malkins Twitchy. Even Twitter was just a glimmer in Jack Dorseys 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.

OK....the joke must be on me, eh
Poor simple Guenevere doesn’t get it
I ‘m just too tired for this
Y ‘all have a Merry Christnmas
Don't get what?
Who’s on first?
No link but Cracker Barrel is going back to selling DD merchandise and ,according to The Blaze, A&E still has DD with Phil Robertson scheduled for another season
A&E has already finished filming all but the final episode of next year's fourth season, and they've suspended ol' Phil from that final episode. A&E, of course, intends to broadcast those shows, but that has nothing to do with their suspension of him; rather, it's strictly a profit issue for them.
The present questions are:
* will Phil be included after all in that final episode, or indeed will the family participate in it without him?
* will the family, including Phil, sign with A&E for a fifth season, and under what conditions?
It would be helpful if the author would name names. Who threatened her career?
It's kind of hard to respond to "they" when you don't know who "they" are.
Here are a few possibilities but nothing more than that at this stage:

Didn’t realize i posted Phil Robinson, instead of Phil Robertson, & didn’t understand the first few posts I read were referencing that.
No matter, Merry Christmas and welcome to FR.

I’m amazed the Gaystopo hasn’t mandated the rewrite of the Bible, so homosexuals don’t feel bad, or sinful.
If the undead people see this post, this thread will end up undead.
I forgot who the undead thread people are...

I don’t know how to save this post, but I never knew that. I don’t understand, homosexuality is a G-d-ordained judgement?
Note that here is what makes it different from all other sins (in that we all sin).
FIRST ... in Romans, chapter 1 see what the sin is that is spoken about here. Its in verses 18 and 19, and its not talking about Homosexuality there.
THEN ... comes the judgement for this particular sin (mentioned in verses 18 and 19) and that judgement (mentioned in verses 26 and 27) IS Homosexuality.
In other words, God mentions one particular sin, and if you commit it - then God turns you into a Homosexual as a judgement! [saying it loosely and briefly without all the intervening explanations ...]
I should also mention that this doesn’t make an excuse for anyone who is a homosexual. It is still a sin, along with being a judgement.

It has potential Undeadiness, but we’ve been at our current location less than 30 days. We lose things every time we move!
That copy -paste-edit thing gets me every time.
