Phil Robertson breaks his silence: REFUSES to back down from anti-gay comments
Daily Mail ^ | 12/22/13 | Staff

Posted on 12/22/2013 3:54:48 PM PST by BunnySlippers

Robertson – who made his fortune from inventing and manufacturing hunting equipment before finding TV stardom – went on: ‘We are a bunch of rednecks from Louisiana, but I am not uneducated, I have a degree from Louisiana Tech. 'But this week I have been called an ignoramus. This week I have been asked, "Is this the first time you have brought up sin?" I said, "Are you kidding? I have been traveling to and fro spreading this message." 'Then he said, "Well do you invite yourself to go and get your Bible and tell people what you are now sharing with us." I said, "No they are inviting me."

Jase, in reaction to his wife saying she let’s him hunt. “Let’s me?! That is like saying you let me breathe.” Liberals can’t understand these comments. They are used to feminizing males and restricting such humor. Phil did a wonderful job as a father.

They would go after Jim, not me. :)

Please bear with me... it doesn’t matter what Phil’s, yours or my explanation is, people (not only gays mind you) consider ANYTHING short of total agreement or silence, to be anti-gay. Sometimes this is even true among believers of the resurrected Jesus Christ who are sanctified by that blood.

That type of thinking totally boggles my mind. There is positively no way to dialogue with those people. The only way I can survive the craziness is to immerse myself with the talk/print of Christian apologists, Mark Levin, or Dennis Prager. Accurate thinkers.

AND. ..at the very end of the article is a new statement from Cracker Harrell completely different from the one on Friday ..now they’re apologizing for offending US.

Pitiful. Spineless. Cowards.

Good for them.

Good job Cracker Barrel, on regrouping.

Now how about the network also backs down and brings back Phil Robertson.

Just saying.

I thought he would stand by what he said.

One never backs down when they are right.

“Yesterday Entertainment Weekly claimed that despite his suspension, Robertson will be back on the hugely popular show – which regularly pulls in 12 million viewers – when filming recommences in January.
They quoted a source saying: ‘The network also hopes the media and fan furor will cool down over the holidays and that tensions over shooting future episodes can then be resolved. There’s no negotiation to have; we’re doing the show.’
That will come as welcome news to the people of West Monroe and much of the country, who have leapt to Robertson’s defense and said he has the right to speak his mind.”

So Phil is back? It’s all resolved?

Think that the media has their silk undies in a knot. They can’t get enough of Phil and want to shame him into retracting his truthful statements and apologizing to gays, A & E and Disney. He is the sinner. Oops, in the Bible they are the sinners and that what Phil quotes.

The media is also keeping Phil in the spotlight and his message about Jesus and the teaching of the Bible and his commitment to both.

The more Phil straightening his spine, the more they attack him, the more people listen and the truth shines through.

A&E, gays and Disney are big, big losers in this one. Did they think they could beat Jesus?

It was resolved almost immediately. Jim Robinson posted it when it happened but people didn’t take note of it.

I think that stupid “Phil is Back” news story from yesterday was just a deceptive headline. The story was really just referencing the episodes already in the can, which were slated to start running in January. But the headline was making it sound like Robertson/A&E had resolved their differences.

I just heard a discussion on Fox news - they are just playing small-ball, refusing to address the larger issue behind this whole “mess”. And that is a redefinition of moral standards in America. He is in trouble for saying something that would have been accepted a common sense 50 years ago, and still is (I believe) for most Americans not on the edge coasts. And these folks finally have something to rally around and so “no!”

I think it is as simple as that - the real question is where does it go from here.

The prerecorded 2014 Season airs January and Phil is in it. New 2015 episodes are up in the air.

Read and understand people

The fact that he is on the opposite side of political correctness is his greatest attribute.

Wisdom is rare these days. It has nothing to do with being educated.

Remember A&E wanted a show of stupid rednecks from southern flyover country to mock,what they didn’t expect was this family has great values that connected with real people. These are the bitter,ignorant clingers that pound their Bibles and carry their guns in pickup trucks that have always impeded the progressive agenda. This are the very people Barack warned you about!

I watched Duck Dynasty for 20 minutes this evening and found it boring and too scripted...too fake for me but I wish this extended family good luck with A&E
