So A&E does not have a right to exersise its own "freedom of enterprise"?

Easy solution. Let them out of the contract. They can get a contract with a different vendor. No need for A&E to censor out the word "Jesus" from the show anymore since they won't be on the network anymore. Easy solution.

I like the show but the Christian BS occasionally turned me off. But Freedom of speech is more important than any homophobic or racist comments from a backwoods millionaire.

I'm having trouble following the point of the infographic and even point of this thread, but assume it has something to do with Duck Dynasty.


All I have to add to this thread is that 501c3's are non-profits, and that A&E isn't a non profit.

The right to say "Jesus" and the right not to say it is the same right.

I can respect what you are saying, but I find it to be much more enjoyable than so many other shows that flaunts and promotes poor behavior, glorifies conflict, and shows that have to beep out words every 15-30 seconds. Are people that undisciplined that they cannot refrain from poor language?
Fuck, I cuss, depending on whom I am around I turn it off and on.

Do you even read what you post? The National Council for Freedom and Enterprise is a 501c(4) organization not a 501c(3).

But the thing about "non-profit" is there are no profits to tax. The rule basically enables them to manage their work without worrying about having to offset revenues with expenses every year.

If you can turn it "off" why not leave it off?

Yes they do and the public has a right to disagree.

As a business owner, my experience is that if you "never" swear, one f-bomb can move mountains.

I think it has something to do with the organization of idiots cited in the first post having tax-exempt status. The OP will have to explain for himself why that knots his knickers.

I read it as an ironic thing that the National Council for Freedom and Enterprise, who are "dedicated to preserving the American way of life through defending the Constitution and free market system," were criticizing A&E for making a business decision.

Not sure what that has to do with 501c3's being revoked. But whatever.
