If you don’t know the true nature of the Gaystapo and its media sycophants, then you are an idiot unfit to govern a atate.

Don’t you DARE call yourself a conservative.

I'll wait for any actual bill language before I comment.

The legislature is not obligate to act on Pence's order. Let's hope that they retain a little sanity that Pence has completely lost.

People with brains know that the Gaystapo will not settle for any "explanatory" amendment. The will demand more than a repeal. They'll demand a full-blown state ENDA.

I think the time has come for Christians to realize that Liberals, Democrats and the LGBT aren’t the orchestrators of what is happening to America; they are only the tools that are being used. For Christians, all the things happening today have been foretold and we’ve been reading about them most of our lives. Politics has ceased to explain the meteoric rise of support for what has been considered wrong and immoral and even inadvisable in a practical way since time began.

Christians in America have largely thought themselves immune from having to lay down everything for the sake of their faith as others have had to do. The point has come where a choice has to be made between bowing to Baal, so to speak, and retaining businesses, lifestyles, wealth, etc. He who seeks to save shall lose and vice versa. Many Christian lives have been laid down for less than the choices we face today in America. We either believe The Word or we don’t. We either stand by our faith or we sacrifice it. I think all Christians know what lies in the balance but don’t quite want to believe it will be asked of them. The time is coming fast that choices will have to be made. The falling away will come through those who think they can equivocate and water down the truth. Being saved requires repentance before the gift of Jesus can be received. That little fact is left out of the arguments of those who hold up Jesus as an excuse. Sexual deviants have been “absolved” by the Left because they “were born that way” and can’t supposedly help themselves. How devilishly brilliant of Satan!

Christians need to be encouraging one another as never before to stand firm at this time. If we have to give up things of this world to preserve our faith, it’s of little consequence beside what we will gain. Friendship with the World is enmity with God. It’s all in The Book. It’s just a little overwhelming that it’s happening in our time.

Well, actually, some people assume a lot more rights than they actually have. Government sets the rules of the marketplace. And if you are going to participate in the marketplace, you have to play by government rules.

You don’t have the right to deny service to any class of people and the civil rights legislation makes that clear. You might be able to enforce a dress code or behavior norms, but you can’t discriminate on race or other protected classes. You simply don’t have the right to do that.

Just like you don’t have the right to go any speed you wish on public highways. And you don’t need an amendment specifying that you don’t have that right to understand it.

I’m waiting for people like Tim Cook to take that bet.

If we were living in a Sharia Dream, cook and his boyfriends would be the first to get hacked.

Mike isn’t very farsighted to put it mildly. Once again IN has struck out!

Pence must be pretty powerful; Asa Hutchinson in AR immediately began imitating him. AR has struck out again too.

Surely Cruz knew Pence could not be depended upon.

I don’t think the GOP cares a whit if it loses in 2016. Jebbie is running for the nomination, not to win.

I was appalled at how Pence embarrassed himself. The more he talked, the more spineless he declared himself.
