Parks vs. Robertson

There is a notion going around that Phil Robertson speaking out on sexual immorality in America is the same or even close to what Rosa Parks did. The Duck Commander spoke out against sexual immorality in America, including sex outside of marriage and homosexuality. It was met with resistance from the Gay community and he was temporarily suspended from A&E. The point he was making is one that I have said many times before. Sexual immorality in America is the biggest problem today. Now there are some that have likened what Phil Robertson said to that of Rosa Parks. I believe that to be so totally incorrect. What she did was special. She was a nobody. She had no TV show. She had no millions of fans. She had no millions of dollars. She had no million dollar business to help her. She had courage. She simply was tired of being pushed around for being black. In her autobiography she said she wasn't tired, just tired of being pushed around. So she was defiant. She was also arrested for not leaving her seat in the "colored" section of the bus to make room for more white passengers. She didn't set out to make history that day. She simply was going home. She didn't sit in the white section. She went to the "colored" section and simply took her seat. When push came to shove she had the courage to simply say no and the rest is history. She made history in that moment. She put events in action that effect us to this day.

The Duck Commander on the other hand just simply spoke a Biblical truth. He wasn't arrested. He wasn't humiliated. There will be no dogs turned loose on him. There would be no hoses turned on him. There would be no crosses burned in his yard. No friends or family hung. No churches blown up. No movement to change America. These two people are not alike. Their messages are not alike. Phil wasn't tired or trying to start a movement. He simply answered a question with no threat of jail or repercussions. Rosa Parks knew her defiance would lead to being arrested and repercussions.
It was a great moment in history.

They both however made Biblical stances. Phil on the sexual immorality and Rosa Parks on all being created equal. That's really why people got upset. Biblical stances that go against how you feel and think and even the lifestyle your leading, are controversial. Not wrong, just controversial. He never said he didn't love them, like them or anything like that. The media blew this up. Its about ratings and about keeping religion quite. There is a gay agenda in this country. I do not believe that all homosexuals support the gay agenda that is being forced on America. Just like I don't believe that the black community supports everything Jesse Jackson says.  We are in the time of media controlling what America thinks. Its scary to imagine that. Just don't get the idea that what Phil Robertson said is anywhere near as important to what a little black lady did Dec. 1st 1955 in Montgomery. If you've never been to Montgomery to take the Civil Rights tour, I suggest you do.
