Phil
Robertson, speaking out as a member of a
society that no longer believes in the free speech provisions embedded in the 1st
Amendment, has this to say about homosexuality. Make note that he does not argue against the
freedom to be a homosexual.
“It seems
like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus.
That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer.
I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not
logical, my man. It’s just not logical,”
He was
fired for this statement by the clowns who run our media entertainment.
Me? I say that there is something wrong with a love making occasion when you need to use antiseptic during the "after glow" session.
Sarah Palin
tweeted this in response to Robertson’s firing:
“free speech is [an] endangered species.”
And
Governor Bobby Jindal made this statement:
“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
disagree with. I don’t agree with
quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV. In fact, come
to think of it, I find a good bit of it offensive. But I also acknowledge that
this is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views. In
fact, I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a
messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets
suspended.”
So predictable... rednecks rally behind the bigot.
ReplyDeleteAre you part of the 3% or the 97%. Again, this is not about homo rights. It is about freedom of speech. You don't believe in free speech and the right to disagree?????

ReplyDeleteI just deleted a comment in which the respondent thought I was ignorant and "redneck" for believing that free speech principles apply to all. He thinks it only applies to government censorship, so I am assuming he will be fine with my deletion of his comments. After all, this is not a federal convention.
