		<description><![CDATA[Joe,
You missed the entire meaning of my comment. My comment is not even about  gays. It&#039;s about A&amp;E&#039;s outrage one minute - when it looked like public opinion dictated outrage...and then A&amp;E&#039;s &#039;tolerance&#039; the next, when the public supported the Ducks.
Their moral compass is dictated by which way the wind blows..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I for one cannot wait for your generation to die. It&#039;s people like you, who slap ridiculous labels on things or expect the world to bow down and kowtow to &#039;tradition&#039; or &#039;that&#039;s just the way things have always been&#039; that are the real problem.


Liberals said, &quot;Hey, maybe blacks should be considered people&quot; and everyone else said &quot;Nooo that&#039;s ridiculous, society would crumble, they&#039;ve always been slaves&quot; and look what happened. Liberals said &quot;Women should have the same rights as men,&quot; and everyone else said &quot;Nooo society would take a nosedive, they need to be at home baking and caring for children like they&#039;ve always been, not out voting or holding jobs&quot; and look what happened.


Liberals said, &quot;Gay couples should have the same rights as married couples&quot; and everyone else said, &quot;Are you nuts? Society would take a turn for the worse! I mean, it&#039;s just unnatural.&quot;


You&#039;re on the wrong side of history, sweetheart. I can&#039;t even hate you for it, I just feel sad for you, and everyone else like you that thinks a &#039;liberal&#039; or &#039;someone who believes that government should be active in supporting social or political change&#039; is some sort of scum that needs to be wiped off the bottom of your shoe. Or that they lack &#039;morals&#039;.


My moral compass is just fine. I don&#039;t need a Bible or a bunch of traditions to tell me what&#039;s right or wrong. I have enough strength of character on my own to know that people like Phil Robertson and you are clearly in the wrong, and that everyone deserves the freedom to make their own life choices and not be persecuted for something as simple as loving another human being.


You&#039;re a sad, pathetic person.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s absolutely absurd how many Americans have no idea what &#039;free speech&#039; even means. How embarrassing.


Free speech, part of the First Amendment, means you have the freedom of expression without persecution BY YOUR GOVERNMENT.


Free speech does not exist in the workplace. It does not exist among private citizens, among private companies. It is not a magic shield that allows you to say whatever you want without consequence. Since Phil Robertson is not being persecuted by his government for being a backwater racist bigoted hick, the words &#039;Phil Robertson&#039; and &#039;free speech&#039; should not be in the same conversation. Just to clear that up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The christian-reich only believes that free speech is a one way street.

They have weekly boycott demands by the American Family Association aka (One million moms), one of the nation&#039;s largest Christian advocacy groups, are totally OK with the Tea People.  Because when Christianist groups call for nationwide boycotts of television shows and their advertisers, that is a righteous use of the free market in order to preserve morality, marriage, family, and the American way. But when GAY groups use or threaten the use of a boycott, THAT is homofascist intimidation, intolerance, bullying, a stifling of religious liberty, and an attempt to deny the freedom of speech. Just so we&#039;re clear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[not really absurd.    until recently there has been no penalty for a company dumping anyone that &quot;offended&quot; any of the many aggressive tentacles of the democratic party.    &quot;activists&quot; of many variety have had their way routinely,  cowardly employers dump the offender,  and everyone is happy,  except the victim.   how was a&amp;e,   insulated in their liberal thinkalikeism from the reality of their audience, to know that there would be a huge backlash?   to do that they would have had to have the wisdom to,  for instance, predict that things fall DOWN.  or that the sun will rise in the east.   who could have known?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It’s entirely possible that A&amp;E wanted all this to happen and that it got exactly what it wanted, milking a culture war for cold hard cash.&quot; 
Exactement!  And the handful of conservative news sites and journalists (no disrespect intended) making such a point of protest about an entertainment show.  It all smells of contract leverage and power-play.  To think that there are many other points of protest that are so worthy of energetic airplay, i.e., the oppressed and persecuted Christians around the world, the assault of our government on our constitutional rights, the abuse of this administration&#039;s concentration of power, etc. Nothing new under our American sun, I suppose.]]></description>
