‘Duck Dynasty’ star: ‘They railed against me for giving them the truth about their sins’ (video)

MONROE, LA,  –  Duck Dynasty  star Phil Robertson said the only reason cultural liberals  demanded his ouster from the A&E reality show  is because he told the truth about sexual sins , and they wanted to justify their behavior instead of repenting. Slightly under nine minutes into his 43-minute sermon, which garnered reactions from many media sources this week, Robertson spoke about the many lists of sins humans are vulnerable to. According to Robertson, "I gave some guy one list. You say, 'Were they mad at you about that list?' They were mad at me." "You say 'Why did they get mad at you?'" continued Robertson to the gathered parishioners. "Because instead of acknowledging their sin – as you had better do – they railed against me for giving them the truth about their sins. 'Don't deceive yourselves.'” Recounting the conversation he had for  his  GQ  interview , the reporter asked Robertson, "Is homosexual behavi

Robin Roberts 'Comes Out'; Why Now?

Another beloved television celebrity has "come out" and said to the world, "I am gay." This time its ABC's Good Morning America host, Robin Roberts . CNN says that Roberts has always been "open about her health battles, but she has not previously spoken publicly about her sexuality." [1] The timing of Robert's announcement begs the question: Why now? On May 8, 2012, North Carolina approved a marriage protection amendment to its constitution, defining marriage as one man and one woman. The amendment was approved by the electorate 61% to 39%. It was an overwhelming defeat for so-called gay rights. After such a profound victory, one would have expected the story to have dominated the national news the next day. It didn't. In fact, it was given less than honorable mention in the media scheme. Instead, the huge story on May 9th was President Obama's avowed support for same-sex marriage. Who did the interview of the President on the su

Will the Duck Dynasty controversy awaken people to the homofascist intolerant juggernaut?

The gay bullying and intimidation deployed against Duck Dynasty ’s Phil Robertson is nothing new to the ex-gay community. For too long in this country, gay rights organizations have incorporated ex-gay bashing as an integral part of their mission. Christian ex-gays are ridiculed for their faith, while people seeking therapy for unwanted same-sex attractions are painted as dangerously delusional. On this one-way street of intolerance, former homosexuals are accused of being liars or fakes while transgenders are celebrated for changing their gender identity. Using their political power and mainstream media support, gay activists work to keep ex-gays in the closet while demanding legal recognition of single-sex marriage as an equal right. This well-organized and heavily-funded bullying of former homosexuals and ex-gay speech is known by the ex-gay community as ‘homofascism.’  Like Phil Robertson, ex-gays are subjected to demands that they apologize for their existence and vi

Update (Dec. 30): Last week, A&E reversed its suspension of Phil Robertson from  Duck Dynasty as leading petitions for the patriach's reinstatement topped 1 million supporters on Facebook , while a call for a boycott of the network approached 2 million . The Hollywood Reporter broke the news , including A&E's public statement. The Associated Press offers more details . The network's statement: As a global media content company, A+E Networks ' core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people's homes, and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles. That is why we reacted so quickly and strongly to a recent interview with Phil Robertson. While Phil's comments made in the interview reflect his personal views based on his own beliefs and his own personal journey, he and his family have publicly stated they regre

Christians need to declare confidently Homosexuality is a sin

Author: Dr Brian Mattson It seems the recent firestorm surrounding Phil Robertson’s suspension from the showDuck Dynasty has subsided. A&E has reinstated him with no further repercussions. Make no mistake, that was a purely financial decision. It was very clear to me on Day One that A&E needs the Robertsons far more than the Robertsons need A&E, and I was certain the final resolution would reflect that fact. So it has. I’ve been mulling over one phenomenon I couldn’t help but notice throughout the controversy, something that has been slightly bothering me. A great many evangelical Christians responded (even in the pieces I happened to really like) this way: “I don’t really have a problem with what Phil Robertson said (though it was uncouth), but I have problems with what he didn’t say.” Now, usually it is a very small matter when somebody criticizes silences, what so-and-so didn’t say. But there was a uniform pattern to this criticism this time around, a widespread agre

Gay marriage zealots are intolerant aggressive and care less if youloose your job

In these past few days we've seen yet again why your support is as important as ever. As you have undoubtedly heard, the special-interest homosexual group GLAAD launched their campaign to bully A&E networks into suspending Ducky Dynasty star Phil Robertson from his own show simply for honestly answering questions put to him in an interview with GQ magazine about the tenets of his faith. It clearly demonstrates how intensely aggressive and intolerant the radicals pushing the same-sex marriage agenda are...  and how far they will go to ensure that religious views about sex and marriage are altogether removed from the public square!

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
