But I bet there are a few questions they will avoid answering right now relative to the Phil Robertson interview in GQ and his subsequent suspension by A&E:
Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is currently in place as Federal law, why don't you think a person should enjoy its protections for quoting the Bible?
Should we ignore the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and allow employers to fire employees for quoting the Koran? The Torah? The Talmud?
Or does protection of a religion (nondiscrimination based on religion) simply not extend to quoting religious texts or expressing religious views?
Would you be OK with Duck Commander firing employees who spoke in favor of homosexual causes?

I think the honest answer from most to your last question is NO. Ad that is the sad truth.
I hear so many arguments for freedom and liberty at family gatherings, then in the next breath they condemn Muslims and Hindus for praying in public or pronouncing their faith.
I'm totally against that frame of mind, and believe in liberty and justice for ALL, not just those with the same beliefs as me...
