I thought we had freedom of speech, and freedom of thought? We should be able to express our opinions, and have people respect (but maybe not agree with) said opinions?
I hope the whole family all quit A&E in protest and move to a more worthy network, if it exists.
A&E is a 50% venture between Disney and Hearst. If the family rallies around the father and shuts down the show, these two companies will lose a lot of money from the product sales (their bread and butter). Trust me, there are some big licensees freaking out about this, I’m sure Bog Iger (Disney) will be getting some calls. Get the popcorn, this will get interesting.
The conservative backlash will be like the “Chick-Fil-A” supporters on steroids. It may severely weaken A&E for being cowards. And it may finally expose the hypocrisy of the GLAAD mafia: the Pope is their new hero, even though he has the same beliefs as Phil on this issue. Hate the sin, love the sinners.
Duck-Phil-A, anyone?
Anything short of an endorsement is a hate crime.
I know this a bit off topic, but I cant help commenting on your opening line, for the record. My wife and I gave up our TV about 5 years ago, and we havent looked back. We are every bit as informed as those people that watch the news on TV, and probably a lot more. No newspapers either. We learn whats going on in the world exclusively from the internet.
Anyhow, the post was great. You couldnt have said it much better. I see that one of the contributing comments to this site suggests that the entire family boycott future productions. A great suggestion. And they should tell A&E not only that they must take Phil Robertson back, but they must apologize for challenging his right to express his offensive religious beliefs in other outlets.
I have a sense that the vast majority of their viewing audience are loyal to these guys and will support them in any action they take. Where they could go from here is beyond me (remember, I dont have a TV), but if he is a man of his word, which I suspect he is, he will trust the Lord Jesus Christ to show him what to do next to prepare him for the next life.
If the jerk didn’t want his opinion, he should not have asked the question...I got a feeling, they hope to get him to say something they want to here, not what his opinion is...gotcha question....oops...got an answer..The media is to use to getting meally mouth answers from people that fear the media...LOL
People who believe in God and Christ of the Bible, should get their values, morals and intellectual pursuits out of scripture, both inspired and limited. Otherwise, why pretend to be Christian, when religion doesn’t require it? If someone wants to be homosexual, religion will accommodate it without their pretending citizenship in the Kingdom of God permits it.
... choose this day whom you will serve ... but as for me and my house ... WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!
It's time for 'Blowback' Mountain. Freedom to praise the Lord and speak truthfully about His creation.

Dumped cable tv a few years ago, so I’ve never seen the show. I do however, plan on buying a few Duck Dynasty trinkets for kids and grandkids all of the sudden. Unbelievable.
Smokers and fat people face higher costs under obamacare, but unprotected anal sex, a hallmark of today's hip fags and a cause of terminal AIDs is OK.
I'm all in favor of gay men and their "right" to unprotected anal sex, and I wish them well with their chosen life style.
If you are a Christian believer, you cannot be queer, it is a sin for Christians.
You can have your own view of religion and that's OK in America, but God is bigger than America.

Thank you for posting the Facebook link. I am pretty sure that A&E is going to be getting both an earful and an eyeful over the next several days.
Kudos Phil and Duck Dynasty. I just hope they tell A&E to STFU and leave their station. If A&E want to support GLAD and the rest of those freaks let them do it without Duck Dyansty.
After years in the work field, I noticed that homos are most despised by working men who don’t go to church. Truckers and delivery men absolutely hate homos as they can’t stop at a rest stop or truck stop without homos swarming them.
