New Media Victory: A&E Lifts 'Duck Dynasty' Star's Suspension
Breitbart ^ | December 27, 2013 | Christian Toto

Posted on 12/27/2013 5:11:48 PM PST by This Just In

Phil Robertson can go back to work thanks, in part, to New Media outlets which rallied to the reality star's side.

A&E announced it will resume filming Duck Dynasty, along with family patriarch Phil Robertson, in the spring. The show had "indefinitely suspended" Robertson earlier this month after an interview he gave to GQ magazine hit the news cycle. The unabashed Christian called gay sex, along with greed and adultery, a sin and wondered how a man could prefer another man's anus to a woman's vagina.

It seems that the Chick-fil-A boycott has been forgotten. The vast majority of the public do not buy in to the “gay” lifestyle.

They’re licking their wounds as best they can with a gayified tongue. Hoping to spin what the Robertsons do as pro-homo activity.

That said, it turned into a tempest in a country tea kettle. Let’s not beat up on A&E too much. Maybe they are, if reluctantly, on the path to learning that no, Christians aren’t being monsters for identifying homo behavior as beneath God’s blessed plan. Let us pray that this be the case. In the meantime — Phil is blessed to have not had his spirit so expurgated of goodness by Satan as to be like the Deliverance guy. Such behavior is nonsense to him. It doesn’t seem nonsense to those who have been expurgated of goodness in a particular way. The wish is a wish for an illusion. It’s a wish for a way that Satan punks the creation. And a healing for it can come through the supernatural power of Christ, which we otherwise know as the gospel. And I’ll fight anyone who claims it can’t.

Another Chick Fil A type uprising against liberal censorship stopped the lib groups cold, beginning with GLAAD, intolerant of sincerely held religious christian beliefs, dead in their tracks. They are still trying to rationalize what happened to their tactics that have usually proved successful. This was a loss of “Biblical” proportion.

“By the loyal love of God above, the redneck gits ‘er done.”

(It’s a line from a song I wrote a few years ago, but I only want to brag on God for inspiring me with it. It was just strange how it came to me. [Sanctified] rednecks should not brag on themselves, but should brag on God.)

No, the aim is to recruit and expand.
They'll probably run more of the homo recruitment ads on other programs but they'll run some on the "Dynasty" show.
Christianity has taken a beating here. A+E is saying they will run ads to counter the Robertson's Christian example.

Jesse left holding an empty bag, waiting for his “meeting.” Maybe he and Al should try to get together for a tag team shakedown.

I can just SEE al losing his temper and inadvisably calling Phil Robertson a “poofter” punk......as he called some talk show host some years ago

Id LIKE to see that as a matter of fact...

A&E and GQ will bank on this potential “manufactured” publicity stunt.

I was changing channels a little while ago. Came across Fox and the show with the lady mc. There was a bald guy on there who said that people who are critical of the homo lifestyle were gay themselves. I changed the station very quickly. Have no idea what his name was since I do not watch her show. Bless his little heart.

Apparently these idiots don’t know there are hundreds of other channels we can switch to when their gay commercial comes on.

If the commercials get too limp wristed they will shoo away Duck fans. They better be careful not to get too cutesy.

. We will also use this moment to launch a national public service campaign (PSA) promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people, a message that supports our core values as a company, and the values found in Duck Dynasty. These PSAs will air across our entire portfolio.”

You mean like the tolerance that that GLAAD showed Phil?

If they get too cutesy they will drive off their redneck audience. And once more will have filled their feet with birdshot.

Well, at least we finally know how long “indefinitely” is: nine days. A&E should be nominated for a Fields Medal for finally resolving this age old puzzle.

“Christianity has taken a beating..”

Christians have been persecuted and murdered for centuries. As a matter of fact, brothers and sisters in Christ are being imprisoned and killed for their faith as we speak. So this is nothing new.

Continued prayers for the persecuted.
