Robertson canned from A&E.

I read somewhere that the A&E folks wanted them to tone down the Christian aspects on the show. I heard an interesting take on it today. Someone asked the question, what if Phil were a Muslim and said this would anyone have even said a word,

For anyone who wants to read a very well thought out understanding of this whole flap, from a Christian thinker’s perspective, here is one by Al Mohler. He’s the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and is often on CNN and other news stations representing the scholarship of biblical Christianity… and, he is one of my living heroes.

Saying “I am offended” is telling everyone else that you cannot control your own emotions, and thus you need everyone else to do it for you.

Excellent read

Even though they are from the country, they all have college educations. They are not the typical red neck type that A&E thought they had! So wonderful when a morally stable and wholesome show gets superior ratings and the producers don’t like it. Just goes to show how the media is slowly trying to crumble America. Also it shows how the media put obuma in office. Lambs to the slaughter.

When you produce a reality tv show about a Christian family, at some point you should expect Christianity to slap you square in the face…

Every news channel was talking about this all day yesterday. They were all reading social media responses. They couldn’t really find much criticism and were reporting that the response supporting him was overwhelming. CNN’s Don Lemon said it offended him but didn’t actually hurt anyone.

It’s pretty obvious that this is blowing up in A&E’s face. The upcoming season has already been filmed, so Phil will be in it.

Maybe it’s not the best publicity stunt ever, but it is one of the most effective I’ve ever seen, especially the social media aspect of it.

I wish Phil would run for president. He’d have my vote.

I disagree with the author on 2 accounts. The first is that he said he didn't like Phil being "graphic". I think he used the words "v@g1na" and "anus". Both of those are medical terms and can be found in any dictionary floating around a school. Just because the author of the article found them offensive, doesn't mean he is "right" in his criticism against Phil. Is "v@g1na" graphic? I will let me wife's OBGYN know she shouldn't be using that word...

Secondly, the author seems to be against Phil bringing his Christian message to GQ because it seems that he doesn’t think it’s the place for it. He says:

Entertainment and marketing machines run on publicity, and the Robertsons have used that publicity to offer winsome witness to their Christian faith. But GQ magazine? Seriously?

I don’t understand the author’s point of view here. Let’s not forget that the disciple Matthew was a tax collector who would be considered the scourge of the Earth back in Jesus’ day. Are Christians only supposed to reach out to people who read Christian magazines? No way. Who is this author to determine that a Christian message is unfit for GQ magazine? How does he know th

I’d vote for him as well with Ted Nugent for vice President.

I love it when a person of influence speaks out on Morality. I wish more people would do it. You notice that it is all over the news but none of the liberal news outlets are wanting to put Phil in a good light.

Hey skinnee. From now on it is a hoo hoo and a poopy hole.

You are right about that, and I’ve made that exact same point to a few other friends of mine who have harped on how crude Phil’s statement was. I think what Mohler is getting at is the fact that Phil started talking about anal vs. ******l sex, and so forth. I don’t really think bringing up the nitty-gritty of sexual behavior was the best way to represent the biblical view, if that was what Phil was trying to do.

But then again, he’s talking to GQ magazine, not Reading Rainbow. So perhaps anything goes.

Show is done. They won’t come back even if a&e apologizes. Mark it down

It is what it is!

Won’t be done this upcoming season! Most of it has already been filmed. Don’t blame them if they don’t come back or are impossible to work with or film if still under contract! Like I’ve said before, they might have to show up but they don’t have to be any good!

Phil won’t be back on that show. Pretty obvious that any shows already taped will be aired but after those are done, so is the show. I’m just glad that A&E is taking the high road on DD and now I hope they put more effort into their show about bikini clad bullriders.

Cracker Barrel just pulled Duck Dynasty related menu items. They won’t be getting any more of my business.

I’ve always refused to eat at Cracker Barrel anyhow. I can just go to my mom’s house and get the EXACT same food, done better, done quicker. Lol I know their food tastes fine but it’s one of those places I’ve never understood, but then again I grew up eating that exact same food.

There’s one real close to my house and sometimes when neither of us feels like cooking it was a good meal. Not any more.
