Phil Robertson asked God to put a “Jesus man” in the White House. People didn’t like that.

source: Life 88.5 Last spring, Phil prayed into a microphone before the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. On the surface, it seems like an innocent enough prayer.

“I pray Father that we put a Jesus-Man in the White House,” he said. “Help us do that and help us all to repent, to do what is right, to love you more and to love each other. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.”

These are all harsh things to say, even though this country is founded on the First Amendment.

“What if at next Sunday’s race, someone got up and prayed for gun control, the Koran and that a Muhammad-woman be put in the White House?” writes David Whitley, the author of the above Orlando Sentinel article. “Most of the people defending Robertson would be throwing tire irons at their TVs.”

Despite Phil’s critics, the president of the Texas Motor Speedway, Eddie Gossage, fully supports the Freedom of Speech.

Prayer happens, especially if you’re a Robertson. So telling Phil he should keep quiet will do no good.
