The latest I heard today was that Phil Robertson is sticking by his *guns*, saying that he *only quoted the Bible*, LOL! Here is the crux of the problem, He did not quote, rather paraphrased( to the best of his ability, maybe) and added vulgar comment and disparaging remarks which most, if not all, television programming refuses to air out of good taste or legal reasons. But Phil believes he is being attacked for his religious beliefs and his freedom of speech is being attacked. It's not his religious beliefs under attack, it's his attitude , and the vulgar way he expresses that attitude that is criticized and then he hides behind his religion to justify his comments. Phil can not be prosecuted for what he said because *congress shall make not law abridging his freedom of speech*. However, go into work today and call your boss a MFer and just sees what happens , LOL! We are all free to say what we want without fear of prosecution but not free of the social consequences there after .Your government will not prosecute you but your peers may judge you. Cracker Barrel is caught between a rock and a hard spot. They will do whatever is profitable to them.
