So if your employer asks your opinion and what you believe, and they disagree and fire you, that's constitutional? Wrong. That's discrimination.
I'd rather get fired standing for what I believe than "pleading the 5th" and being wishy washy like the vast majority of spineless celebs. (Note: I'm not saying anyone here is spineless.)
Do you have an opinion on the matter? Are you currently employed? This is seriously funny to me that some people think this way.
Scenario: Phil is gay instead of a conservative. He is asked his opinion. He says a penis is hawt to him and that guys that like the vag are "wrong". Does he get fired? Do we even see the story?
As someone else mentioned, where does he say he hates anyone? He says he loves all people and we should all love all people. He simply expressed his beliefs.
I don't believe in worshiping cows. They're delicious. If you worship cows I don't hate you. That's fine. Down, down, do your thing, do your thing, do your thing.
I agree. Right now Phil is getting hated on because of his faith. Stand up for his rights to believe the way he chooses.
Love this. Seriously.
Despise this. Seriously. I don't think Phil hates anyone though.

Again, there is a difference between ticking off people by spouting off at the mouth and answering a question presented to you. If asked your opinion, do you supply it or do you tip toe around the question walking on eggshells afraid to stand up what you believe in for fear of offending someone?
Ok.

I have read all responses and see where you guys are saying he should be fired for this. Yes, he's employed by A&E and yes they have the right to fire him. I was simply saying it's ridiculous IMO. IMO. Let me say that again: IMO. He has the right to state what he believes yet is scorned for it, not just by A&E, but by many others who are not his employer.
People are putting words into his mouth. Saying he's hateful and judgmental. That's fine. Everyone's opinions are welcomed.
Whether it's conservative Phil or Richard Simmons I still hold to my belief (as an American, not a Christian) that you should be able to give your opinion when asked for it without fear of consequences like this.
I respect anyone who stands for what they believe in without going WBB about it. He has never formed an alliance against anyone, or used his money to try to put a stop to anything. He simply answered a question and went back to his humble home where Miss Kay whipped up a nice squirrel gravy and thought nothing more about it.
I don't hate anyone. I don't agree with everyone. Am I a bad person?
