Christians Online And 'Duck Dynasty' Family Demand Phil Robertson Be Reinstated To The Show Or A&E Will Lose A Fortune Under Boycott

Duck Dynasty Family Releases Statement In Support Of Phil Robertson

 

Duck Dynasty

Phil Robertson of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show took a stand and millions of Christians are standing with him. A&E hastily fired Robertson from his own show, over comments he made in GQ magazine stating he doesn't understand why men would prefer an anus over a vagina, referring to homosexuality. Millions share his view and are outraged A&E fired Robertson over these statements, due to pressure from the "gay mafia" in Hollywood.

Christians on social networking are now deliberately not watching A&E at all in protest. A&E is being very unwise in its conduct. "Duck Dynasty" is its top show and biggest hit it's ever had. It's also the top reality series in television history. In a nation that is 70% Christian, it's not a wise idea to offend such a large demographic who are now simply refusing to watch the entire network under a boycott. 

99 percent of networks in the world only exist for advertising revenues, which is how they pay their bills and staff and turn a profit. With low ratings, advertisers will not pay to advertise on A&E (because who'd be watching - that's wasted money). This could likely lead to the network going under if this boycott goes on for an extended period of time. The network's cash reserves will run out and bankruptcy will hit.

What I find hypocritical about the "gay mafia" and their conduct in this matter is so many mainstream movies and television shows coming out of Hollywood contain scenes of gay men disparaging women's breasts and vaginas in degrading ways. Said items also contain scenes of gays mocking heterosexuals for being straight. There are Hollywood movies and shows with gay men calling women "fish" and "trash" among other names and trying to convince men they don't need vagina. 

At the end of the day, straight people don't get their drawers in a knot and just chalk it up to gays not liking women. However, a straight man in Louisiana makes the same observation but in reverse, in a less crass manner and gay Hollywood gets vicious. That's called a double standard. That's called hypocrisy.

Christians need to stand up and send a very clear message to Hollywood that there will be serious financial consequences (boycott) for violating our right to free speech. The Constitution does not say Hollywood can say whatever it wants, but the rest of the country can't. The Constitution applies in Hollywood and Louisiana and every other state in America. 

It's time for Hollywood and its fickle, thin skinned, hateful mouthpiece GLAAD to grow up. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Stop bullying people and trying to force folks into silence. For an industry and organization that often claims gays are bullied, you sure do your share of bullying and attacking everyone that doesn't share your opinion. That game is getting very tired and people have stopped listening. 

A wise man once said choose your battles wisely. Well, you chose the wrong battle this time and you're going to get your butts handed to you, pardon the pun (What? gays in Hollywood can call women "fish" on screen and I can't make a butt joke).

STATEMENT FROM ROBERTSON FAMILY:

We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil's unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible.

Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbor as yourself." Phil would never incite or encourage hate. We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.

Phil Robertson Fired From Duck Dynasty Over Gay Comment Prompting Christians To Call For A Boycott Of The A&E Network

Phil Robertson

A&E's "Duck Dynasty" is the most successful reality show in history. It chronicles the lives of the Robertson family in Louisiana, who are Christians that became millionaires from their successful duck call business. The family's patriarch, Phil Robertson, did an interview with GQ magazine this month, where he was asked about homosexuality. Robertson stated, "It seems like, to me, a vagina -- as a man -- would be more desirable than a man's anus."

Now, according to the Constitution of the United States, Robertson is a human being, who has a right to express what he thinks and feels. Robertson, just like every American and person living in the western world is entitled to free speech. However, Hollywood disagrees.

Duck Dynasty

Hollywood's infamous "gay mafia" as they are called online, became indignant and put pressure on A&E to fire Phil. Robertson has been placed on "indefinite hiatus." The "gay mafia" in Hollywood has hated "Duck Dynasty" from day one anyway, as it is about a Christian family and Hollywood has a virulent hatred of Christians. I've seen Hollywood's unprovoked hatred of Christians up close and it is ugly and disgraceful. Hollywood routinely goes out of its way to viciously attack Christians.   

For Hollywood to bully and attack a 70-year-old man over a simple statement regarding his views that millions of Americans share, is unconstitutional and intolerant. It is bullying. Plain and simple. America is over 70% Christian. Millions of Muslims live in America as well. Both religions do not promote homosexuality, advising adherents against engaging in the alternative lifestyle.

Cast of Duck Dynasty using duck calls to attract ducks

Under the Constitution people have a right to practice their religion and retain their views. For Hollywood to tell people otherwise is to try to force people regarding what to think and feel. As much as Hollywood claims it is liberal, it is very intolerant of everyone that does not agree with its views and repeatedly tries to destroy the lives of those who disagree with them.

Christians on social networking are angry over Robertson's dismissal and are calling for a boycott. If Phil is not reinstated on "Duck Dynasty" Christians need to stop watching A&E altogether and stop going to see Hollywood films. They don't need our collective billion$ if they are going to abuse one of our own, especially an elderly man, for simply stating he doesn't understand why some men prefer penis over vagina.

I'm a straight woman and you know what, I have that right as a human being. I've never been attracted to a woman and you know what, that's my right as well. Just like it's Phil's right to be attracted to the opposite sex and state he prefers the opposite sex. Hollywood is out of control in overriding the right to free speech guaranteed by the Constitution. People are entitled to their opinions.
