IT'S NOT ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH


I really tried hard to ignore the old guy from Duck Dynasty. It came down to the fact that so many of the right-wing goofs are all in agreement with this guy, but they try to hide their agreement under the guise of Freedom of Speech. A person can say what they want. This has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. This old bigot can say what he wants. It has to do with if other people can disagree with him. So many bigots, racists and misogynists hide their hatred for people who are not like them in religious scripture. I have yet to figure out how these people can think they know what Jesus meant, especially when Jesus didn't write the bible, and the passages in there are all over the place. My favorite is Exodus 21:22 When men have a fight and hurt a pregnant woman, so that she suffers a miscarriage, but no further injury, the guilty one shall be fined as much as the woman's husband demands of him. My take on that is that the unborn fetus's only value is the money they can get for it. Back to the point. Racist's and haters of all sorts will always be with us. That doesn't mean we as a society have to accept their rants. If the people employing them want to disassociate with them and their views, that is their right too.
