“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.”

Francois Fenelon (He was a Christian who was insulted and exiled for his beliefs)

“Do not get angry about what people say. Let them talk while you try to do God’s will. As to the will of other people, you could never come to the end of satisfying it, not is it worth the trouble. Silence, peace and union with God ought to comfort you whatever people may falsely say. You must be friendly to them without counting on their friendship. They come and go. Let them, go...they are like chaff scattered by the wind.”

“Bearing Insults” from “The Royal way of the Cross.”

A & E is a joint venture between Hearst Corporation and Disney-ABC Television Group, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

Bye bye...blocked..blocked.

I should just get rid of my TV and save myself a lot of misery and money. I am tired of the filth that dominates this county and the media whores that promote them along with their sick sponsors.

First they tried to stop them from praying and now this. They were getting too powerful and popular with a lifestyle that the freaks running this country is trying to destroy.

What would be funny is if the show invited that chick that had her cooking show cancelled over the n-word as a special guest.

Or hold portraits of their father in their laps while they gather around and talk.

500 channels out there. Duck Dynasty can easily sign with another one. A&E will have to live on reruns.

the show is likely owned by A&E networks

the family might get another show elsewhere.... but all of the channels are owned by PC liberal companies

Quick! Name another show on A&E...

9,000,000 - Number of people who watched the Christmas Special

8,000,000 - Normal estimate of gay-americans

Someone’s getting fired over at A&E, but it ain’t gonna be a Robertson. Lol!

He either quoted or paraphrased I Corinthians 6:9-10. GLAAD’s beef isn’t with him, it’s with the Bible, if that’s the case:

1 Corinthians 6:8-10
New International Version (NIV)

8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Footnotes:
a.1 Corinthians 6:9 The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.

"The left cannot tolerate any dissent from their orthodoxy, can they?"

Phil told the truth. That is unforgivable.

He will be branded a heretic and like all heretics he must be burned at the stake. The church of political correctness demands it.

BTW if you research heretics a good many were deemed as such for telling the truth.

I've never seen the show, I don't know the people, and I haven't followed this story.

That said...

The only thing left is to find a Christian basher and demand that person's firing.

It seems that people have been fired for speaking out against all sorts of things... except Christianity.

Now that this person was fired from his show, the gloves must come off.

It's time to pick off a specific, high-profile Leftist, over a comment about Christianity.
