I'm tired of hearing about Duck Dynasty yet I have to put my two cents in. I was obsessed for a few days and in shock and dismay at seeing my FB wall blow up in support of Phil Robertson. I have let everything I have read seep in and lo and behold I have the same exact position that I have come to after years of thoughtful deliberation and soul searching on the topic. After having posted a few weeks ago of "coming out of the closet" as a supporter of LGBT on this blog...bam, my home state makes national news about Christianity and anti-gay and our Governor throwing in his two cents about First Amendment rights.
Sigh.
Mr. Robertson did not go to jail for his opinions, he was indefinitely suspended from employment by his employer with whom I'm sure there was a contract that had a clause just for this. It is not a First Amendment issue and Governor Jindal needs to brush up on that one. I know Jindal is supporting his taxable income from the northern parish.
I don't watch Duck Dynasty so I am coming to know Mr. Robertson by what I read in the full GQ article, and from many testamonials and then I happened upon this video I found from 2010 of Mr. Robertson preaching in Pottstown, PA at a church.
