There's no First Amendment issue here with the Duck Dynasty Dope. Why are you even bringing up the First Amendment? It has nothing to do with anything here.

I agree this isn't and wasn't a 1st Amendment issue. Phil is probably more educated than you, and I'm certain that his business savvy exceeds that of anyone who regularly posts in this forum. He is not a "dope" by any definition of the word. If he had been inclined to file suit, he had an actionable case of religious discrimination against A&E.

OK, you win. Magazine interviews, television broadcasts, and religious expression have nothing to do with the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Silly me.

There I go again, thinking that the 14th Amendment and its progeny, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, are somehow related to the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Again, silly me.

We should just get rid of the damn thing, so us simple folk aren't always a gettin so confused.

But he is ignorant. Because when he cites Leviticus to condemn homosexuality, he should also know that it condemns shellfish, bacon, haircuts, blended fabrics, and so on. And it's cool with slavery, human and animal sacrifices, and the death penalty for adultery.

Phil is entitled to his own bigotry, but unless he's ready to criticize Red Lobster and especially their cotton/polyester uniforms, he needs to leave the Bible out of it.

Actually, no. He needs to FIND his bigotry in the Bible, because that's what makes it protected speech. And that's what makes it ... SO MUCH FUN!!!

Finding unnatural behavior to be unnatural behavior does not take scripture, nor is recognizing it to be unnatural bigoted. There's no bigotry involved. It's all about abnormal and unnatural BEHAVIOR. All behavior involves choices. Choose behavior that most people would find to be repulsive, expect repulsion. Don't force acceptance of repulsive behavior on others. ...unless you are GLAAD. Then, force it on everyone!

Your analysis would be correct, Bob, except that isn't what the redneck said. The redneck made veiled threats of damnation, punishment by the big eye in the sky, lake of fire, eternal destruction, etc. Calling something unnatural is one thing, calling it a crime is another, and calling it an affront to a supreme being is quite another.

Read Matthew 6:15. Then read it again.

Rationalize Phil's statements any way you want, it does not change the underlying truth of his words.
