That said, I support Phil Robertson 100%. Matter of fact I told my wife this afternoon when what he said made the news that he (Phil) is a smart man and likely did this knowing the type of controversy it would cause. My guess is he knows fame is fleeting and that right now when they are at their peak of fame he purposely used it as an opportunity to say exactly what he wanted to say knowing it would be the opportunity for his message to reach the most people possible. I seriously doubt he cares at all about fame or being on television, but looked at it as an opportunity to share his faith. Good for him, and he is a good example of a man defending his faith, standing for his convictions and not selling out.
