I know that I should say something about the backlash and debate over Indiana’s version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but it’s been hard to come up with something that I didn’t already say in my column when it was Arizona’s variation on the same law, vetoed under pressure, that was in the news.

It strikes straight at the heart of individual liberty and conscience.
It won’t stop until homeschooled kids are required to watch gay porno films for ‘educational’ purposes. Parents that refuse will be declared unfit and their kids will be sent to gay foster ‘parents’.
Every race, LBGT, feminist etc. agenda can be pushed to the fullest as a matter of a cultural revolution or culture war that conservatives, as Douhat admits, are losing or have lost. But dissent will be driven inside, become hidden and still exists in ways that we can only now imagine. Perhaps cakes that must be sold to gays will taste really bad.
Next Job for you Governor is to end the HIGH Crime rates in your home town of Indianapolis and Gary as a start.
It’s OK to kill people in Indianapolis but it’s not OK for some to keep CAKE from LGBT?
