Phil Robertson

Conservative nonprofit organisation Citizens United will honour "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson with a First Amendment Award at next week's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the group recently announced.

Robertson is being recognised for continuing to share his conservative, Christian viewpoint despite the controversy that has followed.

"In a time where conservative Christians are under attack by the media and pop culture, Phil Robertson continues to courageously stand by Truth and his convictions," David N Bossie, President of Citizens United, said in a statement.

"I can think of no better person to present the 'Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award' to than Mr Phil Robertson."

Last month, the reality star spoke out against the "rise of radical Islam" in a controversial interviewon "The Sean Hannity Show."

Robinson echoed previous statements that compared Shintoists and Muslims to Nazis, and said the rejection of Jesus contributed to the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.

"The five ideologies of the 20th century, two of them are still vibrant," the 68-year-old began. "The one we're currently facing - the Islamists, the terrorists - and this political correct-ism. Atheism, basically.

"Look, no Jesus with Hitler, with the Nazis," he continued. "They wanted to dominate the world, they were famous for murder. The Shintoists came along, no Jesus there, Sean. They were famous for murder. They wanted to conquer the world."

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) A federal judge says a strip club did not have its First Amendment rights violated when its brochures were removed from New Jersey highway rest areas.

P.R.B.A. Corporation, which runs the Bare Essentials club in Atlantic City sued in 2012 after an employee of HMS Host Toll Roads ordered that its brochures be removed from rest areas on the Atlantic City Expressway and Garden State Parkway.

The club operator argued that it was a First Amendment violation to bar one brochure because of what it was promoting.

But the constitutional free speech protections apply only to government entities, not private companies like Host, which has a contract to run toll road plazas.

In a Feb. 6 ruling, U.S. District Judge Renee Bumb found that Host could legally remove the brochures.

"Duck Dynasty" Star Phil Robertson will receive Citizens United's first amendment award at the Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, next weekend in Maryland.

The controversial television star who was suspended for controversial remarks in 2013 has become a hero to conservatives supporting freedom of speech.

"In a time where conservative Christians are under attack by the media and pop culture, Phil Robertson continues to courageously stand by Truth and his convictions," said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United in a release. "I can think of no better person to present the "Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award" to than Mr. Phil Robertson."

The award is named after Breitbart, former editor of the eponymous site who passed away in 2012. Conservative Radio star Mark Levin received the award last year.

Robertson, a devout Christian, was briefly suspended from the show for remarks he made about homosexuality in GQ magazine.

"It seems like, to me, a vagina---as a man---would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer," he said. "I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."

After public protest, A&E Networks lifted the ban and let Robertson continue filming the highly successful show based on their lives in Louisiana.

CNN also learned Citizens United's next Freedom Summit will be held in South Carolina this spring. After the success of their Iowa Summit in January, which launched Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's current lead in some polls, the group is aiming to impact the first-in-the-South primary state as well.

The group came into the mainstream during the 2010 Supreme Court case, Citizens United vs. Federal Election Committee, which gave way to the creation of Super Pacs, groups that can take unlimited donations independent of a political candidate or party.
