8 Jaw-dropping Inanities Far Right Wingers Said This Holiday Week
1. Joseph Epstein in Wall Street Journal: The problem with America is the collapse of white rule.
2. Paul Ryan lectures his hero, the Pope, on capitalism.
3. Geraldo Rivera: Alec Baldwin’s comments not phobic because everyone used to be phobic.
4. Alabama lawmaker calls "Duck Dynasty" star a hero.
Here, in all its glory, is that proposed legislation:
Whereas, renown[ed] entrepreneur, Louisiana outdoorsman, and reality television star Phil Robertson has positively impacted countless lives through the powerful testimony of his steadfast faith in Jesus Christ and how it has transformed his life; and
Whereas Phil Robertson, along with his family ... have served as ambassadors of the love and grace of the Heavenly Father ...
Whereas recently, Phil has received backlash for expressing his personal views on sexuality that were based on scripture in the Bible in an interview with GQ Magazine; ultimately, the Arts and Entertainment Network (A&E) punished him for his beliefs and suspended him indefinitely from the reality television show, Duck Dynasty ...
Whereas a portion of the politically correct populous [sic], which strongly encourages tolerance and open-mindedness, is now contradicting themselves with extreme intolerance and close-mindedness towards Phil and his personal beliefs, which stem from his rock-solid Christian faith ... Phil should not be penalized in any way for practicing freedom of speech, but should be celebrated as a hero for courageously revealing his self-truth and Christian ideals in a world that can be unkind towards those with a conservative mind-set ...
now therefore, Be it resolved by the Legislature of Alabama, both houses thereof concurring, that this chamber of persons stand united in support of Phil Robertson and his family, and in opposition to the A&E Network's deplorable action of suspending Phil indefinitely from Duck Dynasty for relaying his Christian beliefs.”
