So Phil has every right to believe what he wants to and to express those beliefs. Likewise glad or whoever else has a right to disagree with him and express their beliefs. If we support one right to free speech we should protect them all.
A&E has every right to fire Phil. That is not against the law, there is no law broken. Sponsers have every right to withdraw support, and we as viewers have every right to change the channel.
But for those of us who support Phil, and I do, how do we show that support in a way that does not instead enrich A&E (Disney). Besides growing a beard, what can I do? Duck Dynasty belongs to A&E and so does all the merchandising. Watch the show, buy the T-shirts, coffee mugs, and calendars, and who gets the money? How much does A&E get vs how much goes to the Robertson family? I guess I could go buy a duck call but to be honest I already have one and that is one of those things you really don’t need two of.
Is it possible that A&E engineered this entire thing to increase sales of Duck Dynasty merchandise right before Christmas? Is it really possible that they had no idea what was in this interview that took place some time ago and is only now going to print?

Don't give up buying DD merchandise because you think the money goes in A&E's pocket. The franchise and the merchandise is all owned by Duck Commander, Inc., meaning those shirts you buy at Wal-Mart were wholesaled to the store by Duck Commander, Inc. A&E doesn't get squat, and never will, now.

They can sell their business and start promoting LGBT political action groups.
Many choices that are not "illegal".

I personally think A&E has pimped Christians with this show elevating the platform of false teachers.
I wonder how many more requests have they gotten to go share their brand of the gospel since the show took off? -

To reiterate what another poster has said, just pray that God uses these events to bring His truth to light to a sick sad world.
I appreciate that Phil made an attempt to get the interviewer to understand what constitutes salvation in the same article (near the end).
I do think, in my own heart, that God is going to do something here. And it may not be pleasant to endure.
But a very public line has now been drawn in the sand. We need to make sure we are all on the right side - God's side. -
the liberals are guiltless, as they refuse to acknowledge that their problem is with the Bible and Jesus directly, NOT Phil, and they want to eliminate God from culture! -

I've never watched Duck Dynasty and do not plan to. Actually I watch very little television. Seems the older I become the less I watch.
This fellow, just like the rest of us, has a constitutional right to free speech. This fellow, just like us, does not have a constitutional right not to suffer the consequences ... good or bad ... for what he says. -

I've heard that they've filmed all but the final episode of the next season. This controversy guarantees through the roof ratings when the new season starts next month. I doubt many Christians will boycott the show. A&E will have a king size dilemma in a couple of months.

They're not free from the consequences of their actions.

Back at church camp this past summer, a couple of the grades had a Duck Dynasty theme. Fake beards and duck calls around their neck along with the name tags. Hehe. At the time I didn't know much about it, and I think that was some of the first I'd heard of the show really.

Infant baptism disqualifies Jesus. Just another lie designed to enrich the RCC.

Like Obama and Jeremiah Wright's teachings at his church, I find it quite unbelievebale that these folks would remain at this church underneath its teachings if they aren't teaching the same thing.
