The internet and news is all a buzz over the Phil Robertson suspension from his well known show called Duck Dynasty on A&E. Apparently Robertson is not allowed to have an opinion on his beliefs, nor is he allowed to speak about those beliefs when off the A&E network, which I find ironic since everyone that watches the Duck Dynasty are well aware of his positions as a Christian man, family, and show.
Tonight the Duck Dynasty family released a comment regarding the patriarchs suspension
We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Phil would never incite or encourage hate.We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right.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. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family. Source
It's been amazing to watch the response to A&E's harsh and politically correct action taken against Robertson. Fans of Robertson have covered Twitter and Facebook with responses, in addition fans have called and emailed A&E expressing their disdain and disgust for the networks actions.
It's important for Conservatives to get behind these kinds of efforts and show solidarity! We need to do this more often!

Free speech is an endangered species. Those “intolerants” hatin’ and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us

Let's continue to make sure this Duck Call - Quack is heard around the world... The Constitution is clear on free speech. If Miley Cyrus can masturbate and twerk on TV then there is no reason why Robertson cannot have his opinion on his beliefs.
