I know your manual tells you that this is an important phrase but it is just that a made up phrase.

Giving an interview has nothing to do with politics. No more than you or I stating our opinions here.

Clue: Phil Robertson is not a politician. He's merely stating his PRIVATE views.

Now you know.

It's totally amazing at how intolerant the left is.
Yet Bill Maher is "only" a comedian! You'd think this Robertson guy was the pope and just revealed the largest secret.

People either watched or didn't, not like the left who's feelings seem to be hurt every week. They do need thicker skin, or growing up may be hard to do..........
Take this up with A&E, they have the decision on programming, not you or me.

What a nasty personal attack.
Yes, I know what Freedom of Speech is. You indicated previously that you wanted to stop anti-gay speech because a gay person might harm themselves because of it.

First off, am I a government? If not, then whatever desire I have has nothing to do with free speech and the 1st Amendment.

Secondly, I just told you I will fervently defend his right to say whatever hateful and bigoted anti-gay comments he wants. While doing that, however, I will just as fervently deride and scorn him for saying them hoping that doing so will have a positive impact in the lives of the gay kids his speech ends up harming.

Yeah really. According to your statement, there would be no constitutional problem with such a law. I disagree, so I wanted to hear your reasoning.

And A&E owns the rights to the show, the brand name, and all of the merchandise sold under the DD brand.

No there would be no basis for such a law just as there is none for changing marriage to suit men who like to have sex with men? Like I said , what would you have to do to prove you are homo to get a license. ridicules I know........
