(5 posts)29. Happy to help!
I have no issue with A&E suspending Phil, and I support gay rights and disagree strongly with what he said. But when it's a subject that I have special access to, I like to make sure the facts are kept straight.
Happy to answer any other questions about the subject. The Robertsons really are good, salt-of-the-earth types. I've seen them help out people who they credit with getting them to where they are today, when they didn't have to. Unfortunately, when it comes to social politics, they are also a product of growing up in the deep south.

There are no good people that claim other religions murder because "there's no Jesus".

Yeah, they had their beards ever since they started being on TV in their "backwoods" persona.
