The treatment of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson is being exploited by the
establishment as part of a wider chilling effect on the First
Amendment.
In an effort to crush free speech, control freaks have
exploited the controversy as a means of greasing the skids for the
censorship of all controversial comment.
Whether you agree with what
Robertson said or not, many are now using the issue to claim that
so-called "hate speech" should not be allowed in the public arena.
Today
that hate speech takes the form of criticizing homosexual lifestyles,
tomorrow "hate speech" could be designated as criticism of the state.
We must protect ALL free speech whether it is popular or unpopular.
"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." -- Voltaire.

"In a democratic country, people have the right
to be homophobic as well as they have the right to support homosexuality
— as I one hundred percent do. If people are basing their views against
gays on the Bible, again they have a right of religious freedom there."
Feminist and gay social critic Camille Paglia.
