Hope NC holds out. We went through the same crap last year in Indiana after we passed the RFRA law. Led by the IndyStar, the Homosexual mafia and major businesses the State and the governor/legislature were beaten on daily. But in the end businesses and conventions continued to find we were a good place to come too. The IndyStar to this day I think is in mourning over the fact they couldn’t destroy the state’s economy.
This year the legislature took up the issue again proposing a compromise that added homosexuals to the list of special victims, while protecting religious freedom. Because they didn’t get every single thing they wanted(the transgender thing in particular) the gay mafia said no to the bill. So, and I am very proud of this, the state said screw you and dropped the whole thing and moved on to more important things.
We as a group, the right, need to understand after decades of trying to compromise, that there is no compromise with the Left. For them it is war and there will always be another battle to win, another hill to take. Either we accept this and take the same attitude or we roll over and watch the culture disintegrate. There is no middle ground.
Here’s the situation in NC as I see it.
Last year, Republican Governor Pat McCrory vetoed religious freedom legislation like the kind vetoed by the Georgia governor, Nathan Deal, the other week.
Now suddenly, in Governor McCrory’s re-election year and just weeks after the GOPe candidate of the hour (Marco Rubio) was crushed by the first and second place finishes of candidates Trump and Cruz in the NC primary, this legislation clears the legislature and is signed by Pat McCrory.
McCrory’s opponent from the Democrats is the state’s Attorney General, who is saying he won’t defend the law from the lawsuit against.
I think the GOP Establishment has created an emotional wedge to help the governor get re-elected. Eventually after the courts weigh in and maybe rule against the law, after the election dust settles, watch out for the cave-in.
