A&E declares war on 'Duck Dynasty's' Christian values
Fox News ^ | Dec. 19, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 12/19/2013 8:48:56 AM PST by rhema

Duck Dynasty has been sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

By now you probably know that A&E indefinitely suspended Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, for following the teachings of the Holy Bible. Nothing says tolerance and diversity by silencing the Christians and shoving them in a closet.

Between you and me, I think Duck Dynasty ought to indefinitely suspend A&E.

Phil ran afoul of intolerant leftwing bullies after making comments about homosexuality to GQ magazine. When the writer asked Phil what he considered to be sinful behavior, he replied:

“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 says.

Then he paraphrases Paul’s letter to the 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.”

That comment went over about as well as a Chick-fil-A sandwich at a gay pride parade.

Not bad for a rememberance of what the BIBLE says!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (niv)

9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Real Americans should declare war on A&E and the queer lobby. Time for a massive boycott of A&E and their sponsors. Call them all up and give them a piece of our minds.

I don’t think so, They all know the difference between the camera crew workers and the executives who run things.

This decision was made far, far up the ladder than the guy filming and I think they all know it.

Seems coincidental that the old man told Barbra Walters to take a hike a day or two before this happened also. I think he knew he was going to be ambushed, possibly warned about it beforehand, and walked out on her. I’m guessing someone at GQ let slip what he said and A&E had this worked out before it even hit the newsstands.

Barbara’s probably mad at him because she lost the chance to break the story after her interview is my bet.

Genesis 19:1-9 

1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”

“No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”

But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”

Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

Agree. Try firing a muslim because they assert their belief in the Quran’s teaching that you either submit to Allah or die, or pay a jizyah.

Not going to happen. Liberals actually respect tyranny. Tyrants look at other tyrants and think, “Man, I wish I could get away with that.”

Putin did this just yesterday. It’s why the left loves Castro.

“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.”

This 'spokesperson' ain't gonna be happy with the following, for it states that

GOD

knows a little bit about sumpin'!!


Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.



2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Day 2 of GayQueersGate, please continue to be distracted from Obama's own scandals and the debacle of Obamacare. In the latest update on this braking news item, grass is still green and the sky is STILL blue.

You can do as you please. The moral fight is just as important as the political maybe more so for the survival of this nation. Why do you think Obama is POTUS? A Judgment brought upon this nation perhaps? Yep likely so for embracing Gay & Lesbian lifestyles as well as abortion. If you resolve those issues then ones like Obama go away. Reagan was elected on the support of The Moral Majority. Obama was elected on the support of immoral Marxist.

We have been given the antidote for this poison.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

If he walks he gets one reaction from his fan base. If he gets thrown off the show by A&E for his comments on homosexuality he gets a completely different reaction from the fan base. That ain’t rocket science....

Should they have the right to fire you if you are gay?

Personally, I don’t know why they’d want to be on any network that are big supporters of the “Gay” community.

I never watched the show and, especially now, will never watch anything on A&E. The man was asked for his beliefs and now he is being punished by the homosexual militants and fired from his own show? If the duck dynasty clan simply protests to get their guy on air thats not enough. They have the money and business and they should immediately cancel any and all relationship with a&e. I for one am tired of living under the tyranny of the radical homosexuals and this family should stand their ground and leave an entertainment industry that demands obedience to the homosexual agenda.

“Isn’t Duck Dynasty their top money maker?

What happens to A&E if the whole famn damily walks off?”

Oh they think they are bad asses because of their good run of high ratings. They think that they can be another AMC and just land something just as good to fill the hole.

What they dont get is that no one gave a hoot about A&E until these guys came along, and no one will once they are gone. Their success came from this show.
