This guy is amazing. He had Terry Bradshaw sitting on the bench for two seasons while he was quarterbacking Louisiana Tech. He turned down a Barbra Walters interview cause he'd rather go duck hunting. :thumb: He sure speaks his mind. He's alright in my book.


“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,” Robertson said.

The TV star and entrepreneur went on to paraphrase part of the book of Corinthians: “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.”

After making his case as to why he feels homosexuality is morally wrong, Robertson then expressed his confusion about why a man would even desire a man when a woman has “more” to offer.

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical,” he said.

The Robertson's are probably contractually locked in, but I hope they can just tell A&E if Phil isn't good enough for the show, the rest of the family isn't either. If it could happen I imagine the viewers could apply a lot of pressure to A&E and Glad. Since none of what he said was said on the show I don't see what all the hoopla is about.

Well if the gays can slobber all over each other in public, Phil should have the right to express his opinion in public.
 
I'm missing it. What is vile and hateful in Phil's statement? :confused:

from the link in Griz's post:


During a discussion about repentance and God, Robertson is asked what he finds sinful.

"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there," he says. "Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."

He goes on to paraphrase Corinthians: "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."

GLAAD on Wednesday condemned his remarks as "some of the vilest and most extreme statements uttered against LGBT people in a mainstream publication" and said "his quote was littered with outdated stereotypes and blatant misinformation."

"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," GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said. "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 re-examine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."

GLAAD responded to A&E's suspension, commending the network for its swift decision. "What's clear is that such hateful anti-gay comments are unacceptable to fans, viewers, and networks alike," GLAAD's Cruz said late Wednesday. "By taking quick action and removing Robertson from future filming, A&E has sent a strong message that discrimination is neither a Christian nor an American value."

Robertson released his own statement in response to the flap early Wednesday: "I myself am a product of the '60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
​

Hateful? Just because Phil thinks a vagina is more pleasurable to a man than a man's anus? :yum: You got to be kidding me. That is not hateful in any way. :yum: I see the logic in his statement and agree with Phil.

Seems to me that Christianity sets a fairly high bar.

Seems to me that Phil's statement, albeit a version of Corinthians, talks about gay AND straight adultery in the same breath, talks about other bad behavior from swindling to slandering.

How is that anti-gay?

How does it single out gays?

Read it again, over and over, its a list of who The Lord says must accept his word. It clearly is not an anti-gay anything.
 
Oh, and for whatever it is worth, I just wrote A&E a letter telling them I am taking their channel off my "favorites" list in my channel guide so it won't even show up on my TV and I'm planning to write to some of their sponsors.

And then I went to Amazon.com and bought 2 Phil Robertson talking Bobbleheads. 1 for Melen's dorm room and 1 for my cigar lounge.

As fans of the long cancelled TV show "Firefly" say, "can't stop the signal" well so be it with common sense speech: They can't censor Phil.
 
I contacted the network as well and told them they've lost my viewing business until they get Phil back and apologize for attempting to remove his freedom of speech.

Bob - do you have a list of sponsors? I'll contact them as well.

Here's the "contact us" e-mail address for A&E.
aefeedback@aenetworks.com
 
No list of sponsors, but if you go to the A&E website they have a bunch of sponsors on the website, I just looked at those sponsors.

Your link is different than my link, so I just sent another email, this time to your link.

If you don’t bring Phil back immediately, and publicly apologize to him and to his viewers for attempting to censor his Christian faith, Duck Dynasty will leave your network, find a new home, and all of those ratings will go somewhere else. Then you’ll be stuck with the stragglers who feel like spending a Saturday rubbernecking at mentally disturbed elderly women with compulsive hoarding addictions. That’s how this is going to play out. Congratulations.

Regardless of A&E, Phil has it right.

Once the gay brigade coerced the courts into redefining "marriage", all bets are off. Once the homosexual minority forced mainstream Amerika to accept gay marriage between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, it is just a matter of time before we must accept marriage between a man and a sheep, or between a woman and a donkey.

Once we tinker with the definition of "marriage", we are obliged to honor any and all types of "marriage", no matter how bizarre. Because after all, if Amerika rebukes any alternative style of marriage, we are accused of being intolerant and obviously some type of [fill in the blank]aphobe. After all, these people have rights, too.

Political correctness will be the downfall of Amerika ... everywhere except within the Duck Dynasty. Maybe Russia has it right, where homosexuals are imprisoned. Maybe Iran has it right, where homosexuals are stoned. But here in Amerika, not so much.

Maybe, just maybe as Phil opines, the Bible has it right.

A&E take note.

The thing I don't understand why the gays are even upset.

Seriously, Phil was respectful in his words, he did NOT single out any gays, in fact he simply listed a bunch of sins as per the Christian faith. Those sins do not include being gay. They do, however, include the acts of adultery, which may be committed by either gay or straight people, and those acts were what Phil pointed out, along with a list of other sins.

So for gays to be upset, logically they cannot read and comprehend? Or is it that they are upset because all the other people who commit sins are not upset?

You are correct, Bob. Phil's only sin was including the words 'homosexual' and 'beastiality' in the same sentence. It was the gay community that made the connection.

But there was actually no direct connection between the two words. What logic do these gay groups use?

The use the logic of victimization, just as any other group alleging they are harmed by an offensive, intolerant Amerika.

And then Amerika, so as not to "offend" any special group, succumbs to its demands.
 
Y'Know, it really does not matter if Phil is right or wrong. His first amendment rights to free speech have been violated and his right to practice the religion of his choosing have been violated. He did not commit any overt act against any individual. Isn't that what America is supposed to be about?

While I have not read the US Constitution and bill of rights cover to cover, I do not believe that it contains any right to not be offended. If it did, wow, could lots of people go places.
 
BTW - Writing A&E will probably do nothing. Complaining will probably do nothing. The fix for this is amazingly simple. No one really cares about letters, etc. What they do care about is advertising revenue. That is determined by how many people watch a given show during the "Sweeps".

Here is a link to the dates of the upcoming sweeps.

http://www.nielsen.com/content/dam/...levision/Nielsen-Sweeps-Periods-2013-2014.pdf

If enough people do not watch duck dynasty during those dates, A & E will absolutely listen.

Buying Duck Dynasty gear only fattens A & E's pockets more.
 
Melensdad, In response to allyour posts, Gays simply do not like to be reminded of their abomination. Straights, on the other hand are not allowed to either condem or ignore that abomination but must "accept" it as a fact of normal life.

So tolerance is not good enough. Tolerance in the mind of militant gays is no more than hate
Rejection of the gay lifestyle is not good enough. Rejection is equivalent to hate.
In order to be PC we all must embrace the lifestyle and when asked why we are reluctant, any answer is presumed by the gay community to be one based in hate.

There simply is no middle ground.

BTW, most pediphiles have essentialy the same logic in their pro molestation of children propaganda.

Without standing on any biblical writings, Moral men and women of good will have, for centuries, determined that these behaviors ar destructive to a society when allowed to be pervasive.. Just by recognizing that in a statement, certainly makes me a hater by the current standards. Yet a biblical truth pervades my judgement. We are all sinners.

I throw no stones but do reject, for myself, the gay lifetsyle. Seems to me, that here in America, that right ought also be protected.

Funny thing is, there was an article some time back where Phil said he really didn't want to do the TV show anymore, so it's like AE is saying this like they really did something and it appeases the queers somewhat. All the while Phil could care less.
 
I stand with the Ducks and the scriptures.......


In a conversation.years ago...a good man ask me...."If the beliefe in the christ were a crime punishable by death.......could there be found enough evidence to convict me???.......


My answer is still....Dear GOD please let it be so........
