Angry Interneters Descend on Indiana Pizzeria over Religious Freedom Law
Yahoo News ^ | 4/2 | Daniel Bean

Posted on 04/02/2015 6:07:42 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

The owners of Memories Pizza were some of the first Indiana businesspeople to publicly support the state’s controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act, according to a report by the Associated Press. While Crystal O’Connor, the pizzeria’s co-owner, told a local ABC-TV affiliate Tuesday that her family-owned pizzeria would serve a homosexual couple in the restaurant, she said they would not cater a gay wedding since it would be against her family’s Christian beliefs.

The question this curmudgeon can't get out of his head is who the f^ck would want a pizzeria to cater a wedding??? Really?

Why not just save the coin and go DiGiorno?

I'm so over this ludicrous story and the law. For both sides, it's nothing but a show boating waste of money that's giving Indiana a bad name.

Wrong. The MSM ‘needs’ stories like this to fill airtime. When MSM cover this crap they can ignore Muslims killing Christians in Kenya. MSM gets to ignore the Hilary crimes, and all the other REAL news stories.

Maybe the pizza shop owner was hoping for a Chick Fil A effect.

Those poor persecuted homosexuals are foaming at the mouth and would happily stone Christians if they had the stones. So they do the next best thing. They call in the fascist media to destroy the hapless Christian shop owners in their crosshairs.

the 2014 election was the war on women.
2016 is going to be about religious freedom.
i hate to say it, the left is smarter than us when it comes to framing issues for elections.

The takeaway from this story: These story’s always demonstrate which side it civilized and which side is not.

There were tweets advocating burning down her business. It’s getting crazy out there.

They have spun up the narrative that they want. The narrative is that the restaurant refused to serve gay people.
Once the narrative spins up in a way you desire, you ride it for as long as you can.

Certainly not gays. They have to have all the frou-frou stuff.

Last night, I was reading some of the postings on that pizzeria on Yelp. The intensity of the sodomite left’s pure hatred for the family that owns the place is astounding.

in this country right now, refusing to kill an unborn baby is labeled extreme, and how you choose to have sex trumps religious beliefs.
as the kids say, messed up dude.

Wasn’t there a bunch (Meaning: one hell of a lot) of scandals floating around odumbo, Holder and the WH some time ago? We don’t ever hear much about those, what ever happened to those? My guess NOTHING will ever be done about them and it is “business as usual”. (Bastards!)

The real take away, homosexuals can't persuade people who disagree with their choices on the merits of their argument. They have to resort to both bullying and legal extortion in order to force people to comply with their agenda.

It’s way past time for some pushback.

It’s not even about the homos, really.

Notice that the pizza place isn’t refusing service to gay people - thus no point of resistance.
The left had to find that point of resistance and press on it.

The intent is to find where Christians will finally resist having their faith violated,
and then criminalize resistance to that violation.

If they give in on homo “marriage”, the left would push pedophilia, child sacrifice, worshipping statues or beastiality - whatever it takes to find that point of resistance and break it down.

If anyone has ever had experience with an alcoholic or drug addict, they act the same way.

It is much more than being smarter, with most of the media, entertainment, education system and big corporations chomping at the bit to pounce, we are at a distinct disadvantage. We are well past the point of rational discussions, for many of these folks this is similar to a religion. Continually point out their hypocrisy and use their Alinsky tactics against them.
This is merely another in a long series of battles in the culture war. Unfortunately they have been winning most of the battles. There has been some success with abortion, this is a long struggle.

This has gone from tolerance to tyranny.

“Please accept us” has become “Accept us OR ELSE”

Another takeaway is NEVER TALK TO THE LIBTARD MEDIA

They are not on our side
