COURTESY OF A&E Update (Dec. 20): Debate over Phil Robertson's paraphase of a Bible verse 's description of sin remains strong today. So does speculation that the spectacular run of  Duck Dynasty  may be done after the Robertson family's statement last night (see below) that "we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm." Petitions calling for Robertson's reinstatement include two sizable Facebook groups : " Stand with Phil Robertson " has gathered more than 1.3 million supporters by late Friday morning, while " Bring Back Phil Robertson " has gathered more than 909,000 supporters. The largest  Change.org petition  (out of  many ) has gathered more than 103,000 supporters. Smaller efforts include petitions by the National Organization for Marriage Education (more than  300,000 signatures ) and Faith Driven Consumers (more than 118,000 signatures ). On the other side, a Facebook page called

GLAAD Bullies target Christians to silence their Biblical objections to homosexuality

During the height of the Cold War , the watchword was vigilance. Civil Defense was everyone's responsibility, and the key was to  remain vigilant . The specter of nuclear war haunted every facet of life. In schools and workplaces nationwide, drills were held to practice for the event everyone hoped would never happen. Sirens would go off, and children and businessmen alike would crawl under their desks and assume the posture they were told would protect them: duck and cover . It was a culture of vigilance, but also (troublingly) largely a culture of fear as well. Today, in America , marriage is under attack. The attacks seem to be coming from everywhere. There's definitely a need for the pro-marriage majority, especially people of faith, to remain vigilant . But emphatically this must  never  mean duck and cover. We can't cower under our desks and live in fear: we need to stand up, boldly, and rally together to face down the attacks. We mustn't be duck and coverers

LOUISIANA, December 20, 2013 - Under a beautiful photo of the entire Robertson clan posted on their  official webpage  yesterday, the Robertson family sent a message to millions of fans noting they are standing firmly behind their patriarch Phil Robertson. A&E television network which has raked in millions of fans for the  Duck Dynasty  reality show starring the Robertson clan suspended Robertson in response to a  GQ  interview where he expressed a Biblical view opposed to homosexuality. “We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right,” the message reads. “We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of  Duck Dynasty .” Millions of Americans  have joined  facebook  and other pages in support of Phil’s stand.  Sarah

Immoral marriage zealots do not obey the law. The law has said NO to immoral homosexual marriage 10 times now. But when someone like Duck Dynasty star makes a truthful Biblical comment on the immorality of homosexualiuty, they scream blue murder demanding resignations.  Homosezual zealots have drawn up a list of about 70 federal politicians, including Julie Bishop and Treasurer Joe Hockey , who they think could be persuaded to change their position on homosexual immoral marriage in the new year. But they face an uphill battle, with a Fairfax Media survey of 15 new Liberal MPs revealing none is willing or able to declare their support for immoral homosexual marriage. Homosexual zealots plans to target 50 lower house members next year, with a two-to-one emphasis on Liberal MPs. Along with Ms Bishop and Mr Hockey, Christopher Pyne and Sussan Ley as high-profile targets. Immorality knows no ends in this ugly debate. The High Court found this month that ACT homosexual marriages we

The case is unique in America, where firings and punishment for those voicing objection to homosexual sex has become routine. Robertson's has earned a high profile, as the massive popularity of  Duck Dynasty   coupled with the wholesomeness of the Robertson family has won the hearts of millions. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin have slammed A&E for the move. Jindal, who is governor of the Robertsons' home state, said in  a statement  issued on his official website that “Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana .” “The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they di
