Re: Duck Dynasty Star Booted

God did not choose Phil just so he could make money. He raised him up for a time like this. Every big name "star" up till now has apologized and went on bended knee so to speak to gay.

Now finally someone has dared to challenge the fearsome "gay" spirit. Whether he gets to continue you as an actor is nothing. God has used him to expose sin when no one else in the media would.

He actually has now "let his light shine".

Amen... exactly my thoughts. I am praying for them that they hold true to their values. They need our prayers.

OK, just wondering. Since we finally have a well-publicized declaration that homosexuality is sin, what do you think will happen? Will millions of gay people repent and become attracted to the opposite gender, as God intended for them?

Like I said. Just wondering.

Re: Duck Dynasty Star Booted

Or maybe they'll just repent? (This is not really the first time the declaration of homosexuality being sin has been heard, by most American gays, at least. Typically, when there is a response to this declaration, the result may involve repentance, with plenty of tears and heartache -- call it remorse, if you like --, but rarely does a gay person even actually change his or her orientation. Not really, and/or not for long, with a "life-changing" conversion. Far as I know. A co-founder of Exodus International and his partner come to mind. Not to mention the closing of that organization, with what amounted to a "repentance" or sorts, ironically.)

He was not approving of anything.

A person usually sees what he is looking for, Phil was not looking for racism, that is why he did not see it. Racism did not affect Phil that is why he did not felt it.

In the new political correct world, any disapproval of Obama is considered racism, which is a bunch of nonsense.

That's my impression, too. I tend to take him at his word, on this.

There may be some with that opinion. I haven't seen it, that I can recall. But yes, it's nonsense.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a statistical correlation between racism and disapproval of Obama. In fact, it would surprise the me to find many racists that don't disapprove! But thinking that isn't the same as considering that any disapproval of Obama is racism, or is because of racism. I hope you can see the difference.

If you ask me, Phil will do more for freedom of speech/thought than anything. We have been having our freedoms taken away in this country bit by bit (all of us, atheists and Christians alike) and I see Phil as one who will stand for his beliefs regardless of what anyone thinks. We need someone like that.

The media didn't "latch" onto this because they know they would have to take his statements out of context. He was describing his personal experience as "white trash", being on the same socio-economic level as the black community when he was a young man. He said the black people he worked with in the cotton fields seemed happy and weren't singing the blues; he didn't state, nor did he even imply, that he approves of racism. If anything, those statements imply that he felt like he fit in with the black community at that time, and further serve to illustrate his own "suck it up and don't whine" pragmatic mentality. Even the liberal MSM knew better than to run with that story.
