Don’t care. We’re getting away from the stuff that matters.

Mr. R. is guilty of anti-Soviet thought and must be fired from his job and sent to the Gulag in Siberia.

Or was it anti-Mao thought, and....

No, wait! It was anti-Obama thought....

Oops, I got it...he was guilty of exercising his First Amendment rights as guaranteed by the U.S.Constitution!
How dare he do that!
What does he think the USA is, a free Country?!

hate to tell y’all but I have heard these Robertson characters are Democrats , who encourage folks to vote for Dems . Is this true ? Looking at them , one must assume they all smoke weed . I am convinced that weed smoking directly leads people to becoming Liberals with strong inclinations to vote Dem. The best argument there is to totally avoid smoking weed .

Miss Paglia is the last leftist to show even a resemblance to classic liberalism, i.e., she may not necessarily agree with what someone say but she will fight for that person’s right to say it.

>> Don’t care. We’re getting away from the stuff that matters.

It’s all intertwined.

Don’t worry, Obamacare is inflicting wounds on hundreds of millions of people as we speak. We could be talking about Fantasy Football, American Idol or the weather in Upper Michigan and the ACA will still be hurting people from Austin to Boston and from Seattle to Sarasota. It doesn’t require our observation, it just is.

The Left is exploiting homosexuality in order to destroy the Christian fabric of the Country.

No they don’t smoke weed, they are deeply Church Of Christ which is a rather conservative denomination, at least their branch of it. Phil Robertson stated that he voted for Romney in the last election, which many other conservatives also did in a last-gasp, if futile, effort to stop Obama. (yes I know Romney wasn’t any better but that’s another argument). Robertson isn’t a dumb hick, he has a master’s degree (for what credentials are worth, they mean something to the elites at any rate as a signifier).

I don’t know where any of that came from. Beards = stoners, is that what you’re saying? I have a beard and I haven’t touched the stuff since I was 23, which is 30 years ago. Those people run a multi-hundred million dollar sporting goods operation, have the highest rated television show in cable history, large families, help at their church, hunt professionally and for their table and supervise their TV merchandise set-up. Does that sound like the work of drug addicts to you? Democrats? Huh?

Credot where credit is due so I agree as far as it goes but she still misuses the term “homophobic”.

Some people seem to hear certain accents, see people who like rural life, and their knees start jerking.

Just like some think every limey with a non-cockney accent must be an Etonian.

“Don’t care. We’re getting away from the stuff that matters.”

If the number of posts on articles relating to this matter are indicative of “stuff that matters” to most of us, I’d say that you are probably wrong! FWIW, just when has free speech not been “stuff that matters?”

Si Robertson as a Specialist 5 in the US Army (he served 20 years from 1973-93) and a recent photo.
