DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — The sheriff of Douglas County, Phil Miller, has said he's cutting ties with the A&E network in response to the suspension of "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson.

Robertson, the family patriarch, was suspended last week for comments he made to GQ magazine about gays and African-Americans.

So, we can't say "blacks", so we HAVE to call them "African-Americans".

So why can't we call the others "homosexuals"?

“I’ll bet Hollywood still doesn’t realize what they’ve done.”

It may not have hit home. They certainly don’t believe that society has the bxxxs and organized ability to rise up against their media power. They didn’t expect that we’d tell them where to go with their constant stream of political correctness criticism, and always being directed at the majority of Americans that once did a very respectable job ethically running America.

Good comment. They had better get used to it. I think we’ve all had enough.

It would be cool to see A&E vehicles stopped for speeding 3MPH over the speed limit in Douglas County. Imagine, A&E types charged with creating disturbances when they try to film in that county w/o the Sherriff’s Office providing traffic control. Love it! Well done, Sherriff!

Why should I care about some sheriff in Georgiacutting ties with A&E? What am I missing? Thousands have cut ties, and there are no threads about them...what is so special about this jerk sheriff?

You are CORRECT. They do NOT have a clue.

Maybe they’ve awoken those with Christian beliefs, even those not who are not blood bought saved yet,

to the fact that the left, indeed, is conducting a war on their values.
