Racist, Porn Star Dating, Horrible Dad and Total Miscreant Charlie Sheen Has The Nerve To Bash 'Duck Dynasty' Star Phil Robertson

This is a guy who has been caught using the n-word in the past, who constantly berates the various mother of his kids, who dates porn stars/whores on the regular and who just got fired from a popular TV show for being a total malcontent. In other words it's like Charles Manson criticizing Pope Francis:

The Duck Dynasty controversy continues.

Charlie Sheen is now slamming Phil Robertson for his anti-gay views. Sheen took to Twitter on Sunday to address the patriarch, who has been under fire for his anti-gay remarks.

Writes Sheen:

"hey Mallard brained
Phil Robertso!
you have offended and hurt so many dear friends of mine,
who DO NOT have the voice or the outreach that I do. ....
your statements were and are
abhorrently and mendaciously unforgivable.
the idea that you have a job
outside of dirt-clod stackingis a miracle.
the only 'Dynasty' you are attached to might be the
re-runs of that dated show."

Meanwhile, Robertson, who issued a statement standing by what he said in GQ, is staying true to himself. The reality show star and church elder led a small Bible study group in his West Monroe, La., church on Sunday, and the MailOnline was there.

Robertson defended himself and declared, 'I will not give or back off from my path," reports the site. He also noted that this is not the "first time" he has given his views on sin. And he added, "I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater."

After his Bible study group, Robertson joined the rest of the congregation for a church service. Robertson's son, Alan, led part of the proceedings and made reference to the attention the family has been getting. "Well we've had a quite a quiet week, shot some ducks, done some shopping, ignited a national controversy," he said.

Phil Robertson's Family Issues Statement on Duck Dynasty’s Future on A&E

Mediaite.com:

The night after A&E decided to suspend Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson over comments he made in an interview about homosexual sex, the Robertson family posted a statement to its website about the future of the show.

Read the full statement below:

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.

"Duck Dynasty" Star Suspended from Show for Correctly Calling Homosexuality ‘Illogical’

The way God made our bodies alone tell us that homosexuality is wrong. But don't say that aloud around Godless, morally bankrupt, social liberals or their friends in the mainstream media. And, btw, free speech in Barack Obama's America? Puh-leeze:

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has been suspended from the A&E show for comments he made about homosexuality to GQ Magazine.

A&E provided a statement to Entertainment Weekly weighing in, for the first time today, on comments Robertson made about homosexuality being part of an array of sinful behavior that guarantees you “won’t inherit the kingdom of God.”

“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.”

Mediaite’s own senior editor Andrew Kirell had some fun with Robertson over his comments, especially his rather interesting observations about bestiality the difference between an anus and a vagina.

The rest of the Robertson family will continue to be on the show during his suspension.

Liberal Executive Bullies Chick-Fil-A Worker, Then Promptly Gets Fired For It

I'm guessing that the average fast-food, drive-thru worker makes barely more than minimum wage, doesn't love their job and has to put up with a lot of BS from customers too busy making sure their orders right (and the french fries warm) to give back a lil courtesy and respect for good service. But most do it anyway...well because thanks to the Obama administration the economy still sucks and they need to pay bills and/or put food on the table for their loved ones. Yet, who can prepare for a liberal douchebag rolling up to your window to berate you, all because the CEO of your company dared come out for traditional marriage a few days back? Mind you, Chick-fil-A doesn't discriminate against gay people in any way, shape of form. But for the intolerant Left freedom of speech is only allowed when you agree with everything they say. However, in this case thank goodness for not only the 1st Amendment, but karma as well:

Adam Smith, former CFO and treasurer of medical supplies manufacturer Vante, caused quite a stir today when he put up a video of himself bullying a Chick-fil-A drive-thru employee in Tucson on YouTube.

Smith berates the worker about her company in the video, which was initially titled ”Reduce $’s to Chick-Fil-A’s Hate Groups.” It has since been taken down (though others have uploaded it too).

"I don't know how you live with yourself and work here," he tells the employee at the window. "I don't understand it. This is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better." 

”I’m a nice guy, by the way … totally heterosexual," he continues. "Not a gay in me, I just can’t stand the hate.”

Chick-fil-A is currently in the middle of a controversy sparked by president and COO Dan Cathy's comments about gay marriage. He said that going against the Biblical definition of marriage is "inviting God's judgment on our nation."

Vante didn't approve of Smith's behavior, and he's no longer working there.

Here's the press release from Vante announcing that Smith is "no longer an employee of our company," effective immediately:

TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.

Woah: Google Report Indicates U.S. Censorship Requests Skyrocketed

Townhall.com:

Data released by Google suggests that U.S. government censorship is on the rise – big time. From July to December 2011, Google’s Transparency Report indicates that U.S. agencies requested 6192 items be removed from Google services. That’s a 718 percent increase from the 757 items requested to be removed in the prior six-month period. Google fully or partially complied with 42 percent of the removal requests, according to the report.
 
Commenting on the report, Dorothy Chou, a senior policy analyst at Google writes:

"Unfortunately, what we’ve seen over the past couple years has been troubling, and today is no different. When we started releasing this data in 2010, we also added annotations with some of the more interesting stories behind the numbers. We noticed that government agencies from different countries would sometimes ask us to remove political content that our users had posted on our services. We hoped this was an aberration. But now we know it’s not.

This is the fifth data set that we’ve released. And just like every other time before, we’ve been asked to take down political speech. It’s alarming not only because free expression is at risk, but because some of these requests come from countries you might not suspect—Western democracies not typically associated with censorship.

For example, in the second half of last year, Spanish regulators asked us to remove 270 search results that linked to blogs and articles in newspapers referencing individuals and public figures, including mayors and public prosecutors. In Poland, we received a request from a public institution to remove links to a site that criticized it. We didn’t comply with either of these requests."

North Carolina Teacher Caught Yelling At Student For Criticizing Obama

If criticizing a sitting President was a crime than every person who's ever described themselves as a "liberal" would've been arrested while George W. Bush was in office. But with the country's 1st Gay President (often compared to a deity by his insane cheerleaders on the Left) now in charge, criticizing POTUS just can not be tolerated, even if you're a high school student just making an innocent point...free speech be damned and all. Of course, judging from her name and how she sounds in the audio, it's my educated guess that Tonya Dixon-Neely is a resident, black liberal...but I could be wrong:

A teacher at a Rowan County school has been suspended after getting national attention for a YouTube video video that surfaced last week showing her yelling at her students, saying it’s wrong to criticize the president. 

In the YouTube video, North Rowan High School teacher Tonya Dixon-Neely and her students were debating several political issues, including a discussion about President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney. 

The video, which was uploaded on May 14, had more than 178,000 views on YouTube as of Monday afternoon. The story has been picked up by national media outlets, including Fox News and the New York Post. Controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh discussed the issue on his radio show on Monday afternoon as well. 

The conversation starts as the class discusses recent accusations that Mitt Romney bullied someone as a teenager in the 1960s. 

But the conversation quickly turns into an argument between several students and the teacher, with some students questioning Obama and asking if Obama bullied someone in high school as well. 

“That’s disrespect. This man (Romney) is a presidential candidate. He’s not the president,” the teacher is heard shouting. “Let me tell you something. You will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” “

I’ll say what I want,” countered one male student. 

“Not about him you won’t,” yelled the teacher. 

I’m going to call my dad real quick. We’ll see,” the student added. “I didn’t disrespect him, I was just asking a question. I have different beliefs.” 

The teacher is still employed but has been suspended with pay. An employee at the Rowan-Salisbury School System said they have been flooded with calls from around the country on Monday.

Lefty Ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer Bucks Liberal Orthodoxy, Says 'Citizens United Was Correct'

DailyCaller.com:

Friday on HBO during “Real Time with Bill Maher,” former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer broke with liberal tradition, saying the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was the right call.


Spitzer explained, as he has before, that the Court’s decision is consistent with with the First Amendment.


“Now, having said that, Bill, we rarely disagree. I am with the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] on this one. I think as a First Amendment principle, Citizens United was correct.”


He told Maher that there is no distinction between some shows on the airwaves — all owned by corporations — and a company’s participation in politics through paid advertising.


“Your show is owned by a corporation,” Spitzer said to Maher. “You have a First Amendment right. And so I don’t know how you distinguish between the New York Times editorial page, The Rachel Maddow Show, George [Stephanopoulos]‘s show — all owned by corporations.”


“The First Amendment,” he reminded Maher, says government “shall pass no law abridging the right of speech.”


“Doesn’t say by anybody. It says speech. I don’t care whose speech it is. The ACLU agrees with me, and Larry Lessig, great academic, on this. So this is a more textured issue. It has done horrific things to politics. But as a First Amendment issue, it’s a much more complicated issue.”

Anti-Gay Marriage Teacher Jerry Buell Reinstated To Classroom

Never should've been suspended in the first place:

Jerry Buell, the Lake County teacher who was suspended after making anti-gay comments on Facebook, will return to the classroom Thursday after being reinstated by Lake County Schools Superintendent Susan Moxley.


"If I did not stand up for my rights after telling my students to stand up for their rights then I would be a hypocrite," the Mount Dora High social studies teacher said as he stood in front the school district offices Wednesday with his attorney and wife. "It's been a lesson. It's been a heck of a lesson."


Buell met with Moxley for about an hour before her decision was announced. A "written directive" was placed in his file, said school district spokesman Chris Patton.


Patton would not elaborate on the directive, or say if Buell had been reprimanded. That information will be available in 10 days.


The school district started investigating Buell last week after receiving copies of a Facebook post in which the teacher said he "almost threw up" when hearing news about New York's legalization of gay marriage. He compared gay unions to a "cesspool" and said they were a "sin."


The case has drawn national attention, with both the American Civil Liberties Union and the ultra-conservative Liberty Counsel backing Buell's right to speak his mind. The Liberty Counsel represented Buell throughout the investigation and at Wednesday's meeting.


"Today is a great day for the Constitution and for the First Amendment," said Buell's attorney, Harry Mihet, of the Liberty Council. "His views were the views of a majority of Americans and certainly of a majority of Floridians."

Chris Wallace Takes On Westboro Baptist Church Member

While I agree with SCOTUS's decision to protect their rights to free speech, these people really are sick:

Mediaite.com:

As a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church and their recognized First Amendment right to stage anti-gay protests near military funerals, Chris Wallace interviewed Margie Phelps, the church’s attorney and daughter of founder Rev. Fred Phelps. Although happy with the Court’s decision, Phelps still thought it likely that the nine Supreme Court Justices were going to hell, and was confident that President Obama would be going there as well.

Phelps rattled off one crazy statement after another, including that American soldiers are worse than Al Qaeda terrorists and that “the president is going to be king of the world before this is all said and done, and he is most likely the beast spoken of in the Revelation.” Wallace’s technique of just asking questions rather than demonstrating any anger was actually effective in allowing viewers to develop their own increasing outrage at Phleps’ responses. Phelps repeatedly concluded that any positive event was “God’s will,” while events she viewed less favorably were a “curse.” Therefore, it’s hard to conclude, from her perspective, how she would categorize her portrayal in this interview.

Supreme Court Rules For Anti-gay Church Over Military Funeral Protests

As disrespectful as these people are, emotions stand no chance against the law, that's supposed to be the case anyway:

A Kansas church that attracted nationwide attention for its angry, anti-gay protests at the funerals of U.S. military members has won its appeal at the Supreme Court, an issue testing the competing constitutional rights of free speech and privacy.


The justices, by an 8-1 vote, said Wednesday that members of Westboro Baptist Church had a right to promote what they call a broad-based message on public matters such as wars. The father of a fallen Marine had sued the small church, saying those protests amounted to targeted harassment and an intentional infliction of emotional distress.


"Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and -- as it did here -- inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.


At issue was a delicate test between the privacy rights of grieving families and the free speech rights of demonstrators, however disturbing and provocative their message. Several states have attempted to impose specific limits on when and where the church members can protest.


The church, led by pastor Fred Phelps, believes God is punishing the United States for "the sin of homosexuality" through events including soldiers' deaths. Members have traveled the country shouting at grieving families at funerals and displaying such signs as "Thank God for dead soldiers," "God blew up the troops" and "AIDS cures fags."

Students Kicked Off Campus For Wearing American Flag T-Shirts

NBC.com:

On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population.

Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office.

"They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today."

The boys said the administrators called their T-shirts "incendiary" that would lead to fights on campus.

Another example of what direction the country is headed in during the Obama Era. They should contact the ACLU, no really they should. If this doesn't represent a diss towards "civil liberties" then what does?

Ann Coulter Speaks On Free Speech Rights Being Denied In Canada

Mediaite.com:

Before Ann Coulter ever stepped foot into Canada, there was already controversy and debate about her speaking engagements at three of the country’s colleges. A letter from University of Ottawa’s provost Francois Houle warned the conservative author to be “respectful” lest she run afoul of Canada’s hate-speech laws. It was only one day after that Ottawa canceled Coulter’s appearance, after her first Q&A section involved her saying Muslims should take a “magic carpet” instead of flying, and telling a student that she “could always ride a “camel.” But tonight on The O’Reilly Factor, Coulter argues that the Canadian college administrations all knew what they were getting when they asked her to speak on their campuses, and that by threatening her with legal action before she ever spoke, it was the colleges’ that were looking for a free publicity ride, not her.

“By telling you not to incite, he incited, that’s an interesting point,” O’Reilly muses.

Raging Canadian Liberals Get Ann Coulter Speech Cancelled

LATimes.com:

A protest by hundreds of students led organizers to cancel a Tuesday night speech by American conservative commentator Ann Coulter at the University of Ottawa.

A spokesman for the organizers said Coulter was advised against appearing after about 2,000 "threatening" students crowded the entrance to Marion Hall, posing a security threat.

"It would be physically dangerous for Ann Coulter to proceed with this event," said conservative political activist Ezra Levant inside the hall. "This is an embarrassing day for the University of Ottawa and their student body . . . who chose to silence her through threats and intimidation."

A protest organizer, international studies student Mike Fancie, said he was pleased they were able to stop Coulter from speaking.

"What Ann Coulter is practicing is not free speech, it's hate speech," he said. "She's targeted the Jews, she's targeted the Muslims, she's targeted Canadians, homosexuals, women, almost everybody you could imagine."

The announcement of the cancelation was greeted with shouts of "Shame" and "We want Ann" from about 100 people inside the hall. Outside protesters mockingly chanted "Goodbye Ann Coulter."

About 10 Ottawa police cars were called to the scene, but there were no incidents.

Coulter expressed her outrage, calling the University of Ottawa a "bush league" institution in an interview for The Washington Times.

"This has never happened before," she told the newspaper. "I go to the best schools, Harvard, the Ivy League and those kids are too intellectually proud" to threaten speakers.

Levant blamed the bedlam on university academic vice-president Francois Houle, who had written Coulter to warn her that Canadian laws make provisions for hate speech.

"Promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges," he warned her in the letter, which Coulter quickly leaked to the media.

Damn. Who knew Canadians loons were even more terrifying than their American counterparts?

7th Grader Sues School Over Right To Wear Pro-Life T-Shirt

FoxNews.com:

A California mom says her public school administrators violated her daughter's First Amendment rights when they ordered the seventh-grader to take off her pro-life T-shirt.

Anna Amador has gone to court on behalf of her daughter, who she says was ordered by her principal to change her shirt on "National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day." The shirt the girl was wearing displays two graphic pictures of a fetus growing in the womb.

The incident occurred in April 2008 at McSwain Elementary School, a K-8 school in Merced, Calif. Amador alleges in her legal complaint that school Principal Terrie Rohrer, Assistant Principal C.W. Smith and office clerk Martha Hernandez mistreated her daughter and denied the girl her First Amendment rights when they ordered her to leave the cafeteria and change her shirt.

Well, obviously this 7th grader didn't learn that rights to free speech are only designed to protect immoral, leftwing loons beholden to the radical, liberal agenda. Or else, why isn't the ACLU jumping on this case?
