'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E (W: 742)

Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Wait...people are upset that he quoted a bible verse regarding homosexuals and said that the black people he worked the fields with werent bitter angry and hate filled?

Oh..wait...thats right. You already know your comments regarding blacks are lies but as you said yesterday...you are going to mindlessly cling to your lies and ignore what was ACTUALLY said. I forgot for a second. Busy day.
Carry on.




I intend to carry on, whether you or anyone else likes it or not.

I am not running for President of the Glee Club and I don't need or even want everyone's support.

Oh...by all means...I think you SHOULD carry on. Lying...INTENTIONALLY lying...lying in spite of your absolute knowledge that you are lying speaks VOLUMES of you and I think you SHOULD keep doing it.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Because some people aren't happy that Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson is catching hell for the comments that he made about gays and Blacks.

Every one in the USA has free speech, but running your mouth has consequences.
Umm...

I heard about the homosexual part, but I don't think any racism occurred.

Bah, why do I bother myself with this kind of drivel.

Whatever.

Keep doing whatever turns you on, just don't name it after me.

Trying to keep up with what's going on in the Duck Dynasty World?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

To my knowledge its illegal in Canada to quote the Bible's passages dealing with homosexual sin over radio and TV. At the same time, ministers are required to officiate homosexual marriage ceremonies a condition of being issued the credentials needs to officiate marriages in their churches. Full disclosure: A minister from Canada told me this however I've heard another Canadian deny it. It might apply to just certain provinces. ???

If that's true, that's horrible. It doesn't seem like they have the same respect for free speech and religious freedom we do. I've noticed a lot of the same things in Germany. They outright ban certain political parties and you can not legally sing certain songs, say certain words, or make certain hand gestures.

In order to get a job at my university, which is considered a government job, oddly enough, you have to sign a bunch of documents saying you've never been affiliated with about 300 organizations, including scientology and Die Linken, which is the far left party currently in government. Imagine Texas requiring workers to sign documents saying they've never been, and never will be, a democrat.

I've got this crazy notion that people have a right to non-violently express themselves, as they have a right to free speech, religion, and domain over their own bodies.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

The public outcry has been pretty much "pro-Phil" and "pro-free speech."

Progressives can go cry now...

haven't tried, actually....

Rather, I meant discussing something like this "news" bit regarding one of the people involved. There are far more important things that should be on the news, but I suppose this is an easy thing to blather about during the holiday season. Nothing too critical.

What I am 'doing' is being honest, and no worries...there is NO WAY that being honest could possibly be related to you. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

No one's religious rights have been stepped. He's still free to believe whatever he wants. Go to church where he wants. Say whatever he wants.
He was reprimanded and punished at his job for telling his religious beliefs. I call that stepped on. You liberals may be loving it, seeing a man be financially impacted for being a Christian. But I may remind you that it is his right.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Black people were happy with their lot?

Joe, I just read the entire article in GQ, and I must say what a weasel this reporter that wrote it is....But that is beside the point...If you had read it you'd know that in context Phil was asked about his personal experience, not black people in general as you attempt to misrepresent here.

Just another level of dishonesty eh Joe? Come on man.

And using the bible to say gays are wrong doesn't make it not homophobic.

That's right. It does not make it homophobic. But one has to understand what they are talking about before criticizing that which they obviously know little about.

The Bible says a lot of things we no longer accept. Nor should we.

Who in the hell are you to decide what people should believe? When will you liberals learn that not everyone has to believe things exactly like you do....That you don't accept the bible, and think that is proper is your choice, but to look down on others because they do, or to make such an arrogant statement as "nor should we", is asinine....

I'd read more New Testament if I were you guys. Just saying.

"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?…

Matthew 7:3

I think the argument in Canada that requires clergy to officiate over gay marriages has to do with the status of a government credentialed marriage officiator. Once the clergy member is duly authorized by the government to preform weddings, they become agents of the government and as such may not tell anyone they won't.

I might be wrong however. Just going by what was told to me by a minister who moved here from Canada. I haven't been able to independently verify this but it sounds plausible.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Yes, look how well the chik-a-fila boycotts worked~!!!
Whoo-hoo....single point data sets!

What moronic argument, nearly on the same level as "ignore it, it will go away."

Some people only appreciate the rights of of like minded people. If you disagree with their view, or if it is a right they dont believe in they wont support that right at all. In fact they will encourage the suppression.

He also made weird comments about a "man's anus" and how he couldn't fathom how anyone could prefer it, and "morphed out" to compare homosexuality to beastiality. Not sure which book of the Bible THAT'S from.

I think its laughable that people like you actually BELIEVE he said bestiality morphed FROM homosexuality. Do you also believe he said drunkards morphed from homosexuality? Thieves? You REALLY read that as ALL SIN morphs from homosexuality?

thats just...goofy.

The comparrison is only in your mind.

the biblical comparison is simply because it is their belief that both are sins.
 
:lol: oh man! too good....I guess now we will have to read the same people backing A&E for their suspension, now complain that they didn't follow through....

I guess A&E just responds to the largest special interest.

I guess A&E just responds to the loudest special interest, not neccasarily the largerst.

Surely you dont believe that a large number of people beyond GLAAD were up in arms about Robertsons comments? Even a fair number of gay writers spoke out against the foolishness of A&Es actions.
