“... It belongs in the bedroom,not the boardroom. ....”

Homosexuality is an abomination, and as such, does -not- belong in public view, and should -not- be promoted by corporations, etc.

How many people saw an announcement on the company website where they work, excoriating the RFRA passed in Indiana and extolling “diversity” ?

I did.

I’m glad I’m not a manager.

That’s one for Cruz, even if he is a Senator.

With Cruz in the White House, Liberty will be safe again.

"The problem is Indiana’s ball-less governor."

You said it!! Isn't there a single Republican, other than Cruz, of course, who is willing and capable of verbally stomping these fifth-column leftist media maggots into a squashed stain on the ground?!? (And one of those flattened maggots should be Scott Pelley!)

Nothing controversial about the law and I stand with anyone who is for our religious freedom.

An individual’s natural right of conscience, the ownership of his own body and the fruits of its labor are inalienable. No individual should be forced to violate his legitimate conscience, No individual should be impressed into personal servitude to another without his voluntary consent. A photographer being forced to participate in what he believes is a violation of the sacrament of marriage, a physician being forced into performing an abortion he feels is the killing of a child in violation of his religion destroys the very foundation of individual rights and of liberty.

As for marriage, it has long been considered a sacrament in most religions. The Bill of rights has a clause prohibiting Congress from establishing religion or prohibiting free exercise of the same. It can use civil rights t create a civil union, but it has no business redefining a sacrament.

This does not mean that a business operating under a commercial license providing goods and services to the general public can discriminate against gays by refusing to sell to them because the owner believes the Bible says that homosexuality is wrong.

Pence can kiss any talk of running for POTUS goodbye. Every conservative talkie was busy defending it and his decision then he vacilates to the godless sodomites who’ve declared war on Christianity. Proves he’s no crusader for conservativism.
I’m tired of vacilation to the godless sodomites and their god denying democrat (in name only) party supporters who’ve through the guileful use of “political correctness” have declared war particularly on Christianity as well most religions.

We need crusaders for conservativism not capitulators.

And smart too. I was telling my daughter about this. (We had just watch his declaration speech - no notes).

He knows his stuff, and just talks at ease about it - off the cuff. Obviously he is prepared and knows what questions are coming, but still. Links it into why America was formed in the first place (religious freedom), brings Protestants, Catholics and Jews into the picture. Brings Pres. Clinton into the answer when Clinton signed a similar bill, and ends with a story about the gov’t lawsuit against nuns.

“Okay. Now if you’re sueing nuns, you’re on the wrong end. First thing in your little check-list 1) Sue nuns. Okay, not going there.”

Cruz said that religious liberty is not a "fringe view."

Ted is the real deal. Accept no imitations.

He's also right. The silent majority is with him. Polls show it.

So the pundits will invite him on their shows for a gotcha moment, ignoring the fact that Ted's successfully argued religious-freedom cases before the Supreme Court, and Cruz will add to his popularity.

The cherry on the Sunday is that the media will never learn, because they're convinced that they're smarter than rubes like Cruz.
