A&E is suffering the effects of America’s
malignant tumor.
Political correctness.
It’s a cancer on our society and one that needs to be removed without delay.
Yesterday, A&E suspended Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson for comments he made in a GQ interview regarding homosexuality.
Phil was asked by the interviewer if there was anything he would like to touch upon in the show that he was not allowed to BY A&E and Phil answered the question honestly.
He spoke of his feelings regarding homosexuality and, in doing so, quoted 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 from the Bible.
“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”
In that statement, Phil Robertson violated the 1st Amendment of show business, the media and liberals …He adhered to the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.
And the response from the always tolerant liberals came from GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz who stated…
“Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans –- and Americans — who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.”
Cruz is assigning to Phil things Phil never said.
Christians believe in the same book from which Phil quoted and many believe as Phil believes. Is this Cruz fellow saying that the GAY community is more in tune with the state of Louisiana that Phil Robertson?
Did Robertson say he WASN’T okay with LEGAL recognition for gay couples? No…He did not. And STEREOTYPES??? What STEREOTYPES did Phil Robertson push???
A&E put an outwardly Christian family on television KNOWING FULL WELL that religion is THE driving force in the lives of the entire Robertson clan and, the show becomes THE most watched reality show on all of cable media BECAUSE the Robertsons are OUTSPOKEN and DON’T HIDE behind political correctness but, the minute some sad GLAAD malcontents crawl from under a rock…
A&E takes issue with the honesty and religious opinions OF the show’s star???
This may come as a surprise to you but…
Okay…LET them take issue with Phil and suspend him.
The 1st Amendment gives A&E the same right to take issue with what Phil said as it gives Phil to say it in the FIRST place.
This isn’t about Duck Dynasty. Not really.
It’s not about the militant gay groups either.
And guess what…It’s not about standing up for fundamentalist Christians and supporting their views on the Duck Commander family.
THIS…Is about PRIORITIES.
At a time in world history when Christians are being MURDERED in the very region where Christianity was born…A&E decides to take a stand against a man who expresses his religious beliefs and quotes from the BIBLE???
Throughout socialist media yesterday, Fundamentalist Christians came out in heavy support OF Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty.
Where have THEY been while Christians throughout the Middle East have been being slaughtered?
Where have THEIR demands been for freeing a Christian pastor from a horrific jail cell in Iran?
These things have been going on, in that part of the world for MONTHS and YEARS and all of a sudden, the top PRIORITY for Fundamentalists is…DUCK DYNASTY???
Really?
And what of the militant gay community?
While Christians are being rounded up and murdered in Islamic countries…SO TOO ARE GAY PEOPLE!!!
They are being HANGED for no other reason than BEING gay.
Where has GLAAD been in calling out the Islamists???
NOWHERE to be seen or heard but, this no-account spokesperson for GLAAD has now made DUCK DYNASTY…HIS and his GROUP’S…TOP PRIORITY???
SERIOUSLY????
Think about this for a second…
BOTH groups have elevated DUCK DYNASTY to the top of their lists in the last 2 days.
PRIORITIES PEOPLE…PRIORITIES!!!!!
The GQ interview also contains Phil Robertson’s views on race in America which are just NOW starting to gain attention and again, for all the wrong reasons.
Said Phil, “Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. They’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”
Comments like that will certainly be seized upon by the militant black community just as the militant GAY community came unglued over Phil’s opinions regarding homosexuality.
Regarding the gay issue, the comments reflected Phil Robertson’s religious views and his personally held opinions, in the race remarks, he simply recounts his personal observations from his youth and, he’s entitled to both.
Nobody has to agree with him on either but, the point in excoriating him FOR those views is rooted directly in POLITICAL CORRECTNESS…America’s malignant cancer.
Those on the left believe that POLITICAL CORRECTNESS trumps the 1st AMENDMENT.
Their priorities are screwed up.
One wonders what the response would be had some other A&E star from another show quoted the Koran.
Where would A&E stand, were one from their stable of stars to have told an interviewer that they stood FOR homosexuality thus irritating CHRISTIANS???
Christians, fundamentalist or otherwise, Conservatives, and whites are the ONLY groups deemed by the left, appropriate for targeting.
Now…Tie the 2 together…Race and Religion and let’s see what the ever-so-tolerant left does.
When Juan Williams…a LIBERAL…Made a statement regarding being on edge when he sees a Muslim at the airport…THE LIBERAL NPR…FIRED HIM!!!
Why?
Because…Just like Phil Robertson, Juan Williams violated the 1st Amendment of show business, the media and liberals …He adhered to the 1stAmendment of the Constitution.
And, now that I’ve used that line twice…What exactly IS the 1st Amendment of show business,the media and liberals?
THAT, EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO NEVER BE OFFENDED!!!
It’s a 100% screwed up priority and the spawn of America’s malignant tumor…Political correctness.
Oprah Winfrey said in an interview tha
t old white people in the south just need to die in order to end racism and what happened to her? She got the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
t old white people in the south just need to die in order to end racism and what happened to her? She got the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Phil Robertson quotes the Bible and says he believes homosexuality is a sin and HE gets suspended.
We have Benghazi, the NSA and IRS scandals…Obamacare with millions upon millions losing their health plans, doctors and prescriptions…Iran trying to build nukes…Our Veterans getting screwed…As a nation we’re 17 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt…We’ve got a “president” ruling like a Dictator…
Christians and gays being rounded up and killed around the world…
And the survival of Duck Dynasty is now the focus?
Look…A&E has every right to suspend Phil for any reason they so choose just as Phil has every right to state his opinions based on his religious beliefs. Let them end the show if that’s what they want to do but, they need to know who’s priorities they’re bending over for.
The LGBT community has forced gay tolerance into our nation’s public schools but will NOT tolerate a Christian perspective regarding homosexuality to be heard, not ON a show but, simply by a cast Member OF a show and A&E is knee jerking their reaction in favor of a demographic that is NOT even a FRINGE audience OF Duck Dynasty…
All in the name of liberal INTOLERANCE and political correctness.
How many in the LGBT community shop at Walmart or Bass Pro Shop or any of the other Duck Dynasty sponsors?
Not many but…Yesterday morning, a Facebook page opened…“Boycott A&E Until Phil Robertson Is Put Back On Duck Dynasty” Facebook page and 4500 people “liked” it in the first HOUR leading FB to SUSPEND the page’s creator for 12 hours because THEY thought it was a SPAM page.
200,000 likes in less than six hours.
By late afternoon…MORE THAN 570 THOUSAND had clicked “Like,” and by this morning…1.3 MILLION “Likes!!!”
And that’s where the REAL problem resides.
Duck Dynasty, a show about a redneck, conservative family with heartfelt religious and American values and a business that brought in $45 million dollars last year (not counting income from A&E) garners more than 9 million viewers every week and growing while, the entire gay population of the U.S., as compiled by the Williams Institute is…9 million.
A fringe element of a very small demographic by population, is upset that a much larger, CONSERVATIVE demographic has been supporting a family with strong core beliefs and, the LGBT community isn’t getting the same recognition.
Now…The same demographic that watch Duck Dynasty and also watched, “The Bible” on the A&E owned HISTORY CHANNEL, a mini series that drew an audience of more than 100 MILLION, is talking about an A&E BOYCOTT.
It seems A&E may well have chosen to adhere to the politically correct whims of a fringe group that claims to represent a total population of 9 million Americans over the more than 100 MILLION Americans who have supported their networks…Unwisely.
That’s what happens when the liberal law of political correctness butts heads with the law of unintended consequences.
Duck Dynasty doesn’t need A&E anywhere NEAR as much as A&E needs Duck Dynasty and those who have supported Duck Dynasty in the past are NOT those who adhere to the intolerance of the politically correct liberal left.
As I said…THIS is about priorities and Phil Robertson has his right.
God, country and family.
Maybe what Phil said in that GQ interview that ISN’T being reported is where the REAL priorities should be focused.
“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love em, give em the good news about Jesus – Whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort em out later, you see what I’m sayin’?”
Personally…I’ll stand with Phil Robertson.
Not so much because of WHAT he said but…Because…Political correctness be damned…He had the courage to SAY it.
