I think they all should. A&E has really shown their colors. You can tell now that the Robertsons are simply a money tree for them. Instead of backing up Phil, they run and hide....then start apologizing....the suspend him.
He spoke his mind...stood on his beliefs...and didn't sway like grass in the wind. A&E should only be so lucky to have a tried and true fellow in their stable like that. They should've backed up his right to free speech and for being a stand up man...but they didn't and aren't.
:HandsClappingGO PHIL!!! :ThumbsUp
that and you shouldn't ask a man his opinions on something and then say he's wrong for what he believes in
Phil expressed his opinion which runs parallel to mine.

read my sig......really it is true
yes A an E does own duck dynasty
Go phil lettem have it
Phil is nailing them. He made his statement today taking the high road. He is going to let them woller in their own pile of $%*^. Phil Robertson for president!CF
Go Phil!!!!!!!!! Everyone has beliefs and he stated his - I read the whole thing and he wasn't mean spirited, just stated what he believed. There comes a time that this Politically Correct stuff needs to get tossed down the drain!!!!!!!!! A&E might own the title of the show but they were doing pretty well before the show
Like was said earlier, Anything that has Duck Dynasty on it, the money goes to A&E. If You want to support the Robertsons, Buy Duck Commander and Buck Commander. Those names are owned by the Robertsons. I am afraid a lot of people are going to go buy Duck Dynasty thinking they are supporting the Robertsons in this when in fact they are supporting the truly intolerant A&E.CF
How could A&E be so stupid as to blow up the bread and butter of their line up of shows. Everything they have tried showing right after Duck Dynasty goes off has been a total flop in my eyes. These newer shows suck. It would be like shooting Your prized race horse while He is in his prime just because he farted in your face one time. Somebody over there blew it big time.CF
Phil was absolutely right IMO. America has become "the land of the offended" instead of "he land of the free". Our founding fathers would be ashamed of what we are now.
The family called into question the future of the show.
"We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty," it said.
... cp :kewl
They did this to Phil. What does that say of their opinion of the Robertson's audience? They don't Give a crap about the Audience. We are being put in our place too. A&E does not care about us. We need to just fall in line, keep opening up our pocket books and spending money on Duck Dynasty Merchandise that the Robertsons get very little if anything off of and keep our mouths shut about religion, Morals, and family values. They don't want any parts of that but they sure don't mind taking the money. They made $400,000,000 of of that Family last year. They knew what they had in Phil Robertson when they signed them on. Those idiots didn't realize that You can't change a Man like Phil Robertson. He has strong Character and has already made more money than He will ever spend. Really, how can they hurt him by firing him. A Man that is happiest in a Duck blind more than anything, and I mean ANYTHING won't give a crap about what they do to him. They made A&E and when they move to another network, A&E will dry right up. I hope they paid attention to some of the lessons on catching food from the wild to survive on cause the folks at A&E might just have to do it. Because they will starve to death on that other crap they are showing on there.CF
I agree. The melting pot is now the Chamber pot.CFQuote:

I wander why the left when they say something bad against a Christian and offend them it is freedom of speech but if a Christian make a moral or take a biblical stand it is offences and something should be done to him.this country was born on Christian values,look at any old writing or statues .the left gets a few low moral to hollow loud and then the ones with not strong values lean their way even those who call themselves Christian because they have a bad understanding of scriptures.Yes scriptures say love your brother, but it NEVER say to condone what one does wrong,a wife beater,murder,thief,deceiver ,are we to condone what they do and say it's right if they want to do it because the bible says love your brother. love always have to deal with wrong.i have friends that I do not agree with what they are doing but I love them but they know where I stand on the issue.one of our problem is our nation has not leaders that stand firm on moral and most of America are followers and so as the leaders go so go the country, need to be a Joshua and say as for me and my house we will serve the LORD,Be a leader and not let the left and most of the news media lead you, choose this day whom you are going to follow.

Well, I`m certain he has REALLY hurt the feelings of all the black and/ or gay gun toting fans and viewers of "Duck Dynasty"; let see that`s ALL 15 or so of them ? As far as saying he never once saw ANY discrimination pre Civil Rights era, that is explained because he lived where "Mr Rodgers" came from, and everything was just peace and love, right? It`s right next to Mayberry RFD...too bad he never traveled too far from home. If he had, then doubt he could have HONESTLY said that...btw, just out of curiousity, exactly how many blacks or minorities do you ever see ANYWHERE on that show even in the BACKGROUND ? Can easily understand it`s subconscious probable `appeal` to some viewers with far end `right wing` leanings...personally think it`s a bit much, kinda like WWE (which admittedly is `choreographed`) or "The Real Housewives of Where Ever" (which admittedly is `choreographed`, plus the majority of them are now divorced, they really should change the show`s name to be socially and politically `correct`...) I can easily believe people `see` what they WANT to and IGNORE even the most obvious things they don`t want to...an idyllic and prosperous Southern town with strong WASP values, guns everywhere and wealth and not a single minority within 500 hundred miles...`reality` TV.

I personally have never seen anyone Raped or Murdered, but that doesn't mean I think it does not happen.
Merry Christmas to all. Try spelling Christmas without Christ, just a coinsedence I guess.
The left is tolerant of others opinions as long as they are the same as theirs.

Must be a bunch of "lefties" that crappie fish too I guess huh?
isn't everyone getting a check???
Don't know about the rest of you but A&E won't be hunting from any of my blinds!Quote:

Cane Pole are you `suggesting` a major Media outlet used a cast member of 1 of the most currently popular TV series making millions daily in merchandise to stir up debate NEEDLESSLY to further increase sales? Next you`d say that greed caused the recent Wall Street economic irregularity ! (SAY it isn`t `so`...)
Anybody see A&E s line up tonight ? DD all night! Think they care about what is right ? If you do keep drinkin the kool aid. It's money, that's all they care about.
Read Phil's book. You apparently haven't. The reply Phil gave to all this came from Phil. That is the type of person He is. These folks are not racist and don't agree with homosexuality. Thats all. They don't consider themselves better than anyone. If You don't believe that then Google "I am Second". Watch the video. Reed Robertson got like that, lost all his friends because of it and almost killed himself. He told the Story. Phil is not a perfect man nor are the rest of them. They learned that through Christ and Family is true strength. That is where they found their's. That is why the family will not do the show without Phil. Notice no one is asking the rest of the family if they agree with what Phil said. They would have to kick them all off. They did not want to get into the politics of all this. They were drug into it by the left wing agenda starting with GQ magazine.Quote:

He was harder of the Gays but also said in his response he would treat them with respect as he would anyone. He just does not agree with them.
Homosexuals may get equal treatment under the law but they never will be able to force people to think it is right when one's religion says it is not right and that person has a strong faith in that religion. That is why gays stick it in everyone's face on their Gay parades and Gay pride days. They won't ever convince the majority that what they are is fine. they may get it though law but it will take more than law to change minds when they go out in public and act like they do. Keep it in the bedroom like everyone else. That attitude Offends ME and millions of others that think like me BUT that is OK. We are supposed to just take it because we are so called old thinking or backward thinking when to me being queer is as backward thinking as You can get. We deserve our opinions as well and should be respected when someone does not agree with us. I'm sick of this two sided bull crap.CF
Well said Crappiefarmer. I agree 100%. Especially the last paragraph. :thumbup::thumbup:Quote:
