Apple Bashes Indiana – But Promotes Business in Countries That Execute Gays
Gateway Pundit ^ | 03/30/2015 | Jim Hoft

Apple CEO Tim Cook attacked Indiana this weekend for passing a religious freedom bill.
Cook said, “There’s something very dangerous happening in states across the country.”

Cook may believe Indiana’s new law is very dangerous towards gays…
But it’s not as dangerous as the several countries Apple does business with where they execute gays.

apple country
Four of the ten countries where they kill gays are on this Apple list:
– Uganda
– Nigeria
– Qatar
– Saudi Arabia

If Tim Cook really wanted to help gays, he might want to focus on the Apple customers who execute them.

This is all about damaging Pence so he’s not a national contender for anything.

As if that was a series threat?

Christian bashing has become OK, but daring to let people know what sin is considered bashing?

What kind of a Bizarro Felliniesque world do we live in?

“”Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11”Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me”

-Matthew 5:10 and 11

Pence was never a contender. He’s riding Mitch Daniel’s coattails and basically just asks, What Would Mitch Do?

This is not political theater. This is a spiritual war aimed directly at God and Christians (notice that the other religions that do not condone homosexuality are not even mentioned). Our country will crumble when we deny the Almighty what belongs to Him and worship the golden calf of the State.

The State god takes away the rights of the peasants that do not belong to the Party, determines what is moral, and what thoughts must be punished. Totalitarianism makes you feel so warm and snugly inside.

And that answers why the United States does not have a visible role in Revelations.

Absolutely. And he has damaged Conservatives. By, once again, walking back on your position, or apologizing, the left now has blood in the water and they will go into a further feeding frenzy based upon lies.

We have lost -- again, because of timidity and not standing up to the fascist bullies and it will be all the harder the next time to confront the left menace.

Yeah, you are right, but I am concerned too many Christians are taking up this attitude and just surrendering to the evil that is enveloping us.

It is too easy to say, “Yeah, this is happening, but it’s all about the end times and prophesy, so I really don’t have to engage, stand up, or push back. I’ll just wait it out until the Rapture. This isn’t my fight”

Tim Cook may be a hypocrite--or not. But frankly, being a fanatical bully--which he very clearly is;--is something even worse.

That he does business with countries which he is not in a position to bully, may be because he is a hypocrite; or simply because not being able to bully them, he puts the interests of his company first. That he seeks to use his position to bully Indiana Conservatives, is a surer indication of his true nature.

That the man simply will not tolerate the right of other people to reject his values, his priorities, is the stronger focus, if you want to discredit him--and a bully should be discredited, not humored.

At the least, Cook demonstrates The Compulsion For Uniformity, which epitomized Bolshevik Russia & Nazi Germany. That he may have a psychological profile similar to Hitler's enforcer in the early years, Ernst Roehm, should really give one pause to reflect.

While Cook does not have an army of uniformed thugs, cracking heads in the street, is small consolation. He now controls the world's richest business enterprise (by far); which gives him almost phenominal economic clout. Think about it!

It makes perfect sense. To a committed leftist there is no one so despised as someone with whom they politically disagree.

They despise their political opposition more than they do Islamic head choppers, or homicidal maniacs on death row, or raping perverts, or genocidal communists.

Because opposing ideas present an obstacle to the levers of power and all of the money, women and respect that accrues to those who possess it.

I just received the following email from an old and dear friend who taught school back when teaching school meant the “Three R’s” and DID NOT include Marxist political correctness indoctrination. I pass it along as possible food for thought for those of us who grasp the “end game” of this perniciously pestilential process.
“Dick, on this ‘Freedom of Religion’ law:
I think most people get the word ‘religion’ confused in their thinking——we have many people here of other religions.
If their religion required them to close their business at sundown  and there were people of other faiths who wanted to do business with them, would they have to open for those who want to do business with them?
Dick, where is the country that I once lived in many, many years ago?
Mary”
To which I replied:
Mary, The country in which you and I grew up has been hijacked by a consortium of lownoinfo voters (thank you government schools and the Marxists now running them) and venal, self-serving politicians who believe that if they either remain silent to the ongoing “transformation” (much of the GOP) or aid and abet the process (ALL the Dems who are now indistinguishable from the Stalinists who captured Russia), they will be elevated to princes in the new regime.
Ernst Rohm and the others who assisted Hitler in his conquest of Germany held similar beliefs. He was rewarded with a bullet in the head in a prison cell. His associates died in “The Night of the Long Knives”, the lucky ones killed outright, the unlucky ones slowly strangled hanging from hooks like so many butchered cattle.
What these current fools and accomplices of this new tyranny fail to understand is that the history of tyranny is filled with such stories. The tyrant will not tolerate the existence of ANY groups or individuals who might come to threaten his tyranny.

“ALL men lose when freedom fails and good men rot in filthy jails.  And those who cried “Appease, appease” are HANGED by those they sought to please.”

Love to you and yours as we enter perhaps the most dangerous 660 days in our lifetime.
Dick

You are both correct and incorrect, however, on different points. For it is indeed a crusade against Christians & Christianity, but it has the added bonus of being a political attack upon conservatives & conservatism. In fact you even elude to that yourself when you state, and correctly I might add, The State god takes away the rights of the peasants that do not belong to the Party. However, it will even take away from the peasants that may belong to the Party but hold the wrong, as they see it, viewpoint.
