I'm sure that the fact that A&E issued a basically meaningless "suspension" right before broadcasting a marathon of one of its top-rated shows during a time when most folks are home on vacation and just before a new season starts in January ... is COMPLETELY coincidental. In every way.
Use of the phrases "everyone can see this" or "anyone can see this themselves" is usually a dead giveaway to attempts to conceal ignorance and prejudice that can't be substantiated in any other way except to imply that any "right thinking" individual would agree with one's position.
COME ON. Anyone who heard the comment knows what he was saying. It's utterly specious, even if semantically possible, to suggest otherwise, in my opinion. post by Gryphon66
Pedophilia when acted upon is child molestation, which is a crime of an adult individual abusing a child sexually. Last time I checked, reported incidences of child molestation are most predominant as being perpetrated by 1) family members, 2) members of the clergy, and 3) educators.
Further, an expert panel of researchers convened by the National Academy of Sciences noted in a 1993 report: "The distinction between homosexual and heterosexual child molesters relies on the premise that male molesters of male victims are homosexual in orientation. Most molesters of boys do not report sexual interest in adult men, however" (National Research Council, 1993, p. 143). (Source)
The classic ideological trifecta of homosexuality=bestiality=pedophila is obviously alive and well though isn't it? What's the basic difference?
Homosexual sexual behavior occurs between two competent and consenting adults.
That is not the case with child molestation, bestiality or rape. Why? No adult consent.
Repeat after me.

You are wrong on many levels. YES there is a progressive movement trying to gain and retain power around the world including the US. They have tried in the past and failed and the time has come again to face this down again.
It is easy to see once you look for it and know the signs. They use fear and apathy as the main tools to control. They break down households and schools using the progressive mindset.
Whenever you see leaders putting the rights of the masses over the rights of the individual it is the calling card of the progressive PTB. They have or want oligarchies put in places of control across the world. Banking,schools,health care just to name a few.
Please. The Bible also says "Judge not that ye be not judged."

This whole idea of AE planning this is lame. They already have the top rated reality show in history and are going to score bigtime ratings with the marathon and new season. It's their golden goose.
So, hey, here's a great idea. Let's get our viewers really pissed at us and boycott us and do serious damage to our brand by pretending to be OUTRAGED by some comments Daddy Duck said in an interview in a magazine. Brilliant, eh?

What I am speaking about here is the trend line of this world and the god of this world attempting to pass sexuality and sexual orientation on to people who find this to go against common sense and their Godly beliefs.
That one does not define who and what they are by their sexuality or sexual orientation. To do so is ignorance and stupidity..hetero or homo.

I think the message could be simplified to this point, you can do what you want to do among consenting adults, I just don't want to hear about it.
That being said, the whole religious rights objection to marriage between people of the same gender violates the logic stated above.
Honestly, I don't want to hear about your sexual hang ups either.
In this case, a reporter, probably with an agenda, was asking questions that seemed to aimed a smearing the interviewee for having opinions that the politically correct think they have the right to ban.
PC went too far once again, and a great many people are getting tired of the PC world trying to force their beliefs down everyone else's throats. In Many areas, PC philosophy is wrong, and it all needs to be rolled back a great deal.

The problem is that if marriage between people of the same gender is legalized, it will be demanded and forced into churches (which are against it).
