Now, I absolutely DO support religious exemptions for businesses. A "live and let live" philosophy. If someone doesn't want to sell you a cake, just go to someone else. You can't legislate acceptance or celebration.
On the issue of life... that is MY non-negotiable.
Kasich supports amnesty.
Kasich is not well-liked in Ohio. Here’s a YouTube video of him where he calls a police officer an idiot because he was pulled over. Kasich traffic stop:

Kasich is fine with persecuting Christian business owners. He’s moved on from the first amendment. It’s the “law of the land”.
Maybe he was nervous?
It came up for us when they threatened to bomb/kill/assault people at our private religious for refusing admission to a lesbian’s daughter, because they taught traditional religious values at mass each day.
They declined the child to avoid conflicts for that family of “Mommy, Mommy 2, the priest says you’re a sinner”, and then were smeared in the media AND no one reported death threats on the principal, threats to burn down the school, etc. Police said it was almost all from out of town, so there was nothing to prosecute.
The LBGTA try to get into such institutions and demand such in the name of tolerance, then demand groups STOP teaching what they teach because it is hurtful to them.
It is a deliberate invasion of institutions to force them to change to accommodate the minority. You can not only be shouted down and smeared if not hate mobbed out of a job for expressing a politically incorrect opinion in public and online, but they seek to destroy all institutions that teach traditional religious views as well. And that is an assault on our freedom of religion, freedom of association and freedom of speech.
That's exactly what I'm against, as I posted.
My philosophy on this is libertarian (not liberal). Live the way you want, but don't expect everyone to agree with you, accept you, or celebrate you.
"Middle ground" is weasel language for compromised principles. You cannot allow both religious liberty and sexual perverts their wishes. It's impossible.
Earlier in your comment, you said that SSM just doesn't affect your marriage and so it doesn't concern you. Well, how does abortion (I assume that's what you mean by "life") affect you either? You are making an incoherent argument.
News to all you Trumpeters, Trump agrees with Kasich on this issue.
Two consenting adults having sex (or calling themselves "married") is simply not something I care about. The argument used to be how it weakened the institution of marriage. I haven't found that to be true in my own case. If it has somehow had an impact on you, I'd be interested in knowing exactly how.
My post also included my support for religious freedom. Businesses, including private schools, should not be forced to cater.
The slaughtering of unborn children is something we all should care about. It is morally no different than entering a hospital nursery with a machete.
Don’t be surprised if Kasich gets the nod for VP.
Again, the slaughter of unborn children doesn’t affect you, if that is the controlling criteria you’re using to justify, or at least disclaim, any affect of marriage redefinition. You can’t have it both ways. If marriage redefinition doesn’t affect you, then the slaughter of innocent children doesn’t affect you in the same way either.
Just admit that you simply don’t care about the dilution of the meaning of marriage. I’d at least respect your honesty.
If that is what it takes to win Ohio in the General Election I suppose.
Well at some point when its clear Trump is winning and nothing can stop his nomination the party and Trump will start mending fences. It has to happen and Kasich is a faithful party foot soldier. He’s the Joe Biden of the GOP. So it would not shock me if he gets tapped for VP. Or Rudy.
Well I amend my VP comment to delete Rudy as he’s from NY and not eligible if Trump is the nominee. I feel certain Kasich is on the short list.
They not only threaten, but do bring suits and win many of these court cases and we just sit around a opine. The florist in Washington state has lost her 30 year business, her home due to no income from her business and has drained her 401K account to defend herself. she has nothing else left, they have utterly destroyed her and all who see what happens to you if you go against the facists.
Look what they did to Governor Perry, the facists on a grand jury indicted him for vetoing a budget item?? Of course he is exonerated from all charges with his day in court, but what about his reputation? What about his career? utterly destroyed by the facists, thats what they do!
I think that is possible. He would be the “political” guy that Trump needs.
But who knows.
Not sure about that, he does not let anyone speculate what he stands for, and outlines his position, like it or not, clearly.
Do not misunderstand my statement please. I fully agree with you, except I would not stand by someone who got physical with one of these people. I firmly believe that shop owners and businesses should be able to reserve the right to refuse business to anyone. So what if it was to refuse service to black people? Still feel the same way?
