In case you haven't had enough- Bristol Palin weighs in on Duck Dynasty

You know, the other miserable embarrassment from the Palin (ku klux) Klan.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2013/1221/Bristol-Palin-Why-she-backs-Duck-Dynasty-patriarch-s-views-on-homosexuality

"Everyone needs to leave Phil Robertson alone for expressing his beliefs," wrote Bristol Palin in a blog post. I think it’s so hypocritical how the LGBT community expects every single flippen person to agree with their life style. This flies in the face of what makes America great – people can have their own beliefs and own opinions and their own ways of life.

Everyone needs to treat others like God would, with love. "

Palin went on to say that Phil Robertson should take the Duck Dynasty TV show to another cable channel.

"I do think we should elevate the conversation, stand for free speech, and let people hold beliefs that you might make you uncomfortable. It’s what freedom sometimes feels like," wrote Palin.

Bristol's mom, Sarah Palin, also weighed in, albeit more succinctly in a Facebook post: "Free speech is an endangered species. Those “intolerants” hatin’ and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us."

Except when the government imposes laws which say they cannot! We aren't talking about beliefs here, we ain't talkin' "lifestyle" as you so ignorantly put it.

Teh stoopid hurts...

Good gesture for a station like TBN to get the Duck gang on their network.
