I can't say I blame you for getting out of this state. My wife and i have been talking about leaving the state as well but, going to have to wait until I can retire because I have to much time invested and only have a few years to go.
Sounds good. I will hit you up sometime and maybe meet at I55 to watch a good night of racing. I have never been there but, would like to go some night.
I55 puts on a good race usually. If you watch the schedules sometimes you can string Pontoon beach, or Belle Clair with it.
I thought about moving out of Illinois when I retired, back to Iowa. Overall the taxes was more expensive.

Phil Robertson has the right to say what he wants, and A&E has the right to deal with it as they feel.... now what makes the deal go one way or the other is how the fans react. I won't be watching A&E pending their decision. Oh, bye the bye, I haven't watched three episodes of Duck Dynasty, doesn't' pique my interest in the least...

One of the reasons I am leaving Illinois is the high taxes on business. I'm not sure about Iowa but it's cheaper to live and work in Missouri. The main reason I am leaving is because of the town I live in is washing up. Businesses are failing or leaving. People that matter are leaving in droves leaving mostly parasites and drug addicts. I am neither so this place is no longer for me. I bought a cabin tucked back in the woods that will suit me fine. My kid is off in college so it's just me and the misses.

Yeah, like free speech. It is evident that you do not belong in this thread until you understand what the purpose of it is.

Not only did I expect this, I also believe this should be their appropriate response. Hopefully another network will pick up the series. Since A&E doesn't want to continue maybe they will release them and they can pick up where they left off.

Chances are there are a lot of lawyers studying contracts at this very moment trying to see what kind of loopholes the Robertsons can exploit to get out of their deal with A&E, or at the very least keep themselves on the air somehow, somewhere. I bet there are some non-compete provisions in the contract too.
They should just make their own channel on youtube and market it all themselves. No editorial restrictions, no one telling them what they can't say or do. There's certainly a market for them. I'm done with it, used to watch it back when it seemed more spontaneous and less contrived, but now everywhere you go is DD merch and you can see these guys are just all about the money and endorsements and pushing their products every which way they can.
The one thing I will say about this is if you really want to learn what someone is all about, make them famous. Fame has a way of exposing you for who you really are.

I personal think they loved him when he preached and sighted the bible so they had to know he was like most of us anti gay. it's wrong no matter how hard they say it's natural and us tv personalities to tell us we are the ones that are wrong never once have I seen a gay horse or dog.
they're gat people on both sides CIRF so don't put this crap on left wing everyone in power has a hand in this crap!!!!!!!!!!
Not necessarily true. Look up who owns A&E.

I def agree with you. I can only imagine the frantic searching for a way out of the current contract. I am not so sure they are so set on staying on the air. This has been a huge smear on that tight nit family and I am not convinced they want to keep going with it. I personally hope they choose to keep going only somewhere else.
I can understand your distaste for the "whoreing" out of the brand. It seems you can't turn around anymore without seeing DD merchandise. The way I see it is I would much rather have little kids wearing a DD shirt than a Miley Cyrus or Kanye West T shirt. I like the show because in a day in age that morals and values are somewhat forgotten, they were not afraid to show it. Much better than some skinny chick twerking on stage in my opinion. I have said it before and I will say it again. I am not a religious person. Doesn't mean I don't stand up for good values and morals.

How was a&e firing him a violation of his free speech rights?

You are as clueless as ever. Just what has fame "exposed" about them?? If fame has changed anybody the LEAST, it's the DD family. They have said it in several interviews.....if their fame is gone tomorrow, they are fine with that.
I know it's foreign to you t.nie, but they are living the way God intended. They rely SOLELY on God and His provision for their lives. Phil said it himself. He thought the idea of filming their lives would never work..........unless God was behind it. They have touched countless lives by being examples of God fearing, respectable and moral people.

The point is, is that they have a double standard, giving gays etc. credibility, yet turn around and suppress Christian values by firing those who would speak their opinions.
People also have the freedom of choice to quit watching their Socialistic politically left wing correct station and probably will.
If I had a choice of cutting off funding to A & E without cancelling a whole bunch of programming I sure would. Why should Satellite and Cable service providers be allowed to divide up the paying customers income and give it to channels like A & E who do not represent the viewers beliefs and who push their liberal agenda on it's viewers instead. This goes for many channels doing the same thing.

I guess they got exposed for having religious Christian values. How disgusting! To some.

What other possibility is there? How did Ben Franklin put it years ago: "either we hang together, or we hang separately."
