Note that the last few paragraphs describing the interview have been virtually omitted from ANY AND ALL lib media reports in typical fashion of course.WND: A&E Network suspended “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson from his own television show after calling homosexuality illogical, while proffering his male viewpoint preferring female anatomy to that of other men.
Fans of “Duck Dynasty” have turned to social media to oppose the suspension, with at least seven variations of “Bring Back Phil Robertson” pages now on Facebook.
The most popular among them had 300,000 likes as of early Thursday morning.
The Facebook page features a link to a petition calling on A&E networks to “end the wrongful suspension of Phil Robertson.” The petition had over 32,000 supporters early Thursday morning.
The Arts & Entertainment Network, better known as A&E, gave Robertson the boot Wednesday after learning of his remarks.
“It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus, ” said Phil Robertson. “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.”
“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,” A&E said in a statement. “His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.”
Robertson’s comments came in an interview with GQ magazine, where he championed biblical values and the battle against breaking God’s commandments.
“Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong … Sin becomes fine. 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,” he said.
Paraphrasing Corinthians, he says, “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.”
“We’re Bible-thumpers who just happened to end up on television,” he says of his family’s instant rise to fame. “You put in your article that the Robertson family really believes strongly that if the human race loved each other and they loved God, we would just be better off. We ought to just be repentant, turn to God, and let’s get on with it, and everything will turn around.”
But Phil, 67, also indicated he’s not too concerned with how other people are living.
“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 saying?”
Sarah Palin, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. Ted Cruz are among those coming to the defense of Mr. Phil. However, their words may pale in comparison to Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) -- yes, the same conservative representative who's attempting to primary Cornyn -- who is targeting Robertson’s network with both guns blazing!
The congressman from Texas said he is “fuming” over the controversy.And even one particular member of this community (notice how progressives segregate themselves into demographic groups) confessed that this whole fiasco says more about their bigotry than it does about Phil’s Christian beliefs!
“Your personal views on private relationships aside, the radical left once again seeks to personally destroy anyone who voices an opinion different than theirs,” writes Stockman.
He continued, “The liberal war on speech must end now. Liberals define “tolerance” the same way the Soviets defined “peace” — the eradication of opposition. They are on a mission to eradicate dissent. Please stand with Phil today.”
He pointed out that Robertson never personally condemned anyone and simply stated what his Christian faith teaches
Just as leftist Democratic bigotry absolves itself when lobbing truly vile and shockingly offensive language against Republicans, especially conservatives (e.g., Podesta is likely the latest example), so goes the LGBT bigotry towards the traditional, and scriptural, nature of man, marriage and family. Phil's absolutely correct...and I'm taking a #StandWithPhil.
