There is no way that A&E decision makers weren’t aware of his views, nor is it likely that these comments came as a surprise to groups like GLAAD and Human Rights Campaign.

Exactly. Like I said, the suits at A&E were gritting their teeth. So they had to have gotten the message from Disney/ABC: "Our plan trying to get people to mock them has backfired. Find a way to get rid of these clowns!"

Ya know ... while the left may definitely disagree with those views on guns, women and yuppies - it’s only the LGBT-types who are absolutely rabid in their own position.

Look at it this way ... you could have a Congressman speaking out on those issues, and it might make for political fodder — but if that Congressman speaks out against LGBT-types, he’s going to be attacked RABIDLY!

That’s because homosexuality is a UNIQUE SIN among all the sins listed in the Bible - and the LGBT-types actually reflect that in what they do and how they react.

Here’s what God says about it ...

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

THAT would certainly be “dynamite” to LGBT-types ... :-) ...

I’m sure they are “foaming at the mouth” at this part ...

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness ...

Also, in reference to what someone else said about homosexuality being another sin - just like all the sins listed in the Bible ... I’ll have to point out that it’s QUITE UNIQUE in comparison to other sins. I said the following in another posting elsewhere ...

The unique thing about what God said in Romans 1 — is that this particular sin is actually a “judgement” from God in that He has them debasing themselves in such a way. THIS (what the LGBTs promote) is actually God’s judgement upon them in that they are to do these things to themselves. They, therefore, receive god’s judgement in the “here and now” for clearly rejecting what god has made clear to the,.

SO ... while these are all sins - fornication, adultery, thieving, drunkenness, slandering, swindling - and will not be allowed into Heaven ... none of these are, in and of themselves - a condition which God imposes upon people for their rejection of what God has made clear to them,

On the other hand — the LGBT lifestyle is a specific condition and judgement of God Himself - upon these people,

AND THEREFORE, God has put upon them the absolute worst of the worst sin possible in a human being - in order to thoroughly DEBASE them to the ultimate extent in THIS LIFE, in the HERE AND NOW and not upon “Judgement Day”.

LGBT-people are a “walking advertisement” of God thoroughly debasing someone to the maximum extent possible, in a human being. They are walking around with a “neon flashing sign” — saying — “Look at me! God has not even waited until Judgement Day to judge me!”

We were at a extended family Christmas party last night and some who were watching TV were watching Duck Dynasty reruns. And they were the kind of yuppie types Phil talks about. Made me feel like we're winning this one.

One reason I quit watching most modern movies and tv shows is that I noticed a distinct lack of what I consider normal Americans. Most males depicted in modern tv shows and movies are usually squishy lib types, think Pajama Boy, who either love the the leftist life or come around after being shown the error of their ways by a kindhearted lib female or homosexual character.

or the pointed political snark seen in Sarah Palin’s America.

First, the show was Sarah Palin's Alaska. Second, I don't remember any "political snark" except maybe directed at the Palin hating writer who moved in next door to her.

I gave up on it decades ago. In so many ways American pop culture has sunk. Even the cartoons suck today, as of course does the music, especially in comparison to the great tunes of the 50s, 60s and 70s.

For me it was looking for something to watch on a Saturday morning and found an episode of DeGrassi High (sp?) where a gay student was being treated like a hero after he physically assaulted a member of the school’s bible club during an abstinence demonstration because their “hate” drove him over the edge. The show treated this as a logical conclusion and the assaulting fag as a misunderstood hero. And this is early Saturday morning programming, obviously targeted at children.

Pulled the plug, smashed the TV and threw it in the river.

Lol. There definitely are some good programs on tv today, assuming you like history and nature documentaries as I do. But outside of sports I have near zero use for it. Fortunately for me, I have just about everything I could ever possibly want to watch downloaded to my PC: movies, classic 50s-60s tv series, docs of various types, etc.

Disney doesn’t want to kill the show, they want to have the Robertsons ‘correct’ their beliefs like many churches have done. They want them to lead the flock of viewers to the left.

Those pictures represent the great divide in this country. I never thought I’d see the day when the right to prance around and marry someone of the same sex would be considered a major civil rights issue. Most of them are insecure and pathetic and hate what they truly are.

If I had and knew how to use photoshop, I would stick Obama’s head on PJ Boy. Then again, I’m sure someone else has already done it.

You are so right. Homosexuality is the judgment of God. And that’s why even though I despise this sin, I can’t hate these people themselves. I pity them instead. Barring genuine repentance and turning from their sin they are in hell already. I’m scared for them because I fear The Lord and know He keeps His promises.

You mean like casting a she-man like Tom Cruise in the role Jack Reacher? ...there is a movie I won’t pay to see.
