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

Posted on 03/31/2015 10:35:44 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

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 Tim Cook anti-Religious Freedom stance is generating more posts than any other Apple news in a long time. . . here's another article but nothing really new.

Angie's List and the NBA has just announced they are joining the hoard opposing the law. . . but the Main Stream Media are still focusing on Apple. Why? Because Apple gets clicks which get advertising dollars. — PING!


Apple CEO and his reprehensible, mis-guided, GAY stance on Religious Freedom Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Once a non-Sodomite promoting company makes stuff as good as Apple, I’ll be right with you. Not Google, not Microsoft.

Are you going to bet that Pence is going to be on the record for his upcoming discussion about what the law is about? I would honestly bet that nothing will get recorded by the MSM, they LIE, and yes, when it comes to doing the right thing, your reputation with evil is tarnished, so tough luck, can’t win em’ all

With the long line of cutbacks on total military force, the unpayable and still rising national debt, the incurable deficits, and the open ended war on cops and race riots, all of these are pretty clear indicators that the U.S. Government already has terminal cancer, it can put on some nice makeup, wig, and mask, but at the end of the day, it is still sick, just like terminal cancer, the hour of death won’t be known for sure, but when it happens SHTF!

The “underdog” LGBTXYZ community is supported by every multi billion dollar corporation, every liberal institution of non learning, every Hollywood idiot, every media outlet, the left wing fascists, the NCAA and NASCAR. The evil Christians? Just the hoi polloi.

Somehow I don’t see Steve Jobs thinking what a great idea it would be to take an aggressive position on a highly politicized issue and thereby gratuitously piss off a significant segment of your customer base.

He openly assisted Kerry, Gore and Obama in their presidential campaigns. Can you get any more highly politicized?

CEOs are entrusted with the management of a corporation on behalf of the shareholders, the owners of said business. They are not given a platform for enforcing their own personal political or social agenda and stating it is "on bahalf of" the company. Tim Cook did exactly that, he made a statement of his own moral position and stated it was "on behalf of Apple". In other words, "The company, it is I".

I think he ought to retract it and state it was his opinion alone and not necessarily that of Apple's shareholders or employees, or he should resign so he can start a non-profit foundation somewhere.

Danger? I don't think dangerous means what he thinks it means. In other countries, people are buried in holes with their head exposed and stoned. Or put in cages and burned alive. Or marched into an ocean and shot. That's what Christians are going through in the Middle East and Africa. He should at least give Christians some leeway from the danger that gays present to them. Christians are being persecuted by gays and losing their livelihood, thanks to overbearing government.

What is the danger to gays? They'll get their feelings hurt if a cake isn't baked for them? Get over it; they can find a gay baker. Stop hurting Christians.

Cook is using a “slap suit” method to silence anyone who finds his behavior of playing with the genitals of other men disgusting.

The politicians are just groveling for Apple company donations.

Also keep in there are countries in the Middle East and East Africa where Slavery is still around. Funny you never hear any Democrats or even Republicans for that matter ever comment on that. Much less Tim Cook and Apple.

What should have been pointed out was the history of the Federal Bill upon which Indiana and other states based their bills on. The original federal bill was passed in 1993 and signed into law by Bill Clinton, remember that congress in 1993 was controlled in both houses by Democrats.

Apple doesn't mind gays being thrown off the roof - as long as it's Arabs doing it. But for Quakers - conscientious objectors - they'll be forced to fight in the next war. Shove a gun in their hands - religious freedom is O-VAR.

Yes, Steve Jobs, the individual, did just that, but he NEVER involved his position as CEO of Apple in those Political activities, nor did he put Apple's name on it. When pressed to do so by a Democratic activist he flatly refused saying that half of Apple's customers were Republicans and he was not about to alienate half of the company's customers by taking either side on issues.

Cook is a schmuck.

He is going to be fired by his board
or Apple going into the dumper.
