Yes, and as the article points out about “fighting back” ... we’re going to continue to fight back!!

Well, to tell you what I’ve thought about this legislation, all along, is that it’s the “gay issue” that brought it out ... BUT ... it’s not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!

I posted elsewhere ...

— — —

To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the “gay issue” is driving the discussion, but to me, that “gay issue” seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing “Christian Conscience” in business is about.

Unless I’m mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the “conscience” of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that “religious conscience” by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the “Christian’s conscience”!

A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christian’s conscience.

Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an “after church Pizza gathering” some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as I’m concerned Mormons shouldn’t get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!

If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!

I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!

SO ... it doesn’t appear to be a “gay issue” but a VERY REAL “Religious Conscience” issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!

Would it be a crime to bake a couple of gay guys an Ex-Lax wedding cake? It would surely show them the true purpose of their backsides.

Where is all this discrimination taking place? Largely in their fetid imaginations and carefully planned take downs of religious business people. Mostly they’re just glorying in their dominance an time at center stage. The progressive political establishment is along for the ride, weakening and demolishing the First Amendment. The time will come where I could go to jail for what I’ve just said. Blasphemy.

“The religious community, of course is the last institution standing against what the LGBT community wants. The church has been specifically targeted. Rather than live with accommodation, the LGBT community now seeks to use the force of government to control religious opposition to their desires.”

That is it exactly. They are “unconstitutionally” using the force of federal law to force everyone to fully accommodate to their lifestyle. They want to FORCE religious conservatives (beliefs that predate our republic) to either “participate” (even if indirectly) in homosexual activities (like catering a homosexual event) or be put out of business. It is just a matter of time when this will not be enough...they will want anyone who speaks out against homosexual practices to be prosecuted....that is where this is heading.

They see a perfect opportunity to suppress Christianity.

I suppose the "brickyard" will be dismantled in time to relocate the Indy 500 to a more "tolerant" venue? Maybe the Studebaker Museum in South Bend should move out of Indiana as a show of protest and "solidarity"? Let's boycott the Hoosier Racing Tire Co. in Lakeville until they shamelessly capitulate to the gaystapo agenda. Hey, how about the Jacksons demonstrate their shame of being born and raised in such a hateful place by vowing to never again sing this little ditty when they were the Jackson 5? Actually it's kinda catchy ;)

All right, folks, here’s what I came up with today. The left is telegraphing the 2016 national campaign strategy. Remember the “war on women” meme from 2012? Yep, this is it. Not so much “war on gays” as it is “Republicans are evil bigots.” My feelings about the homo-fascist agenda aside, which I have posted elsewhere in the past few days, here are the tactical and strategic reasons for the left’s new offensive:

1. This is to set the meme for 2016, as already noted. The way it’s so apparent is in the obvious hypocrisy of the left. 0bama decried this legislation but voted for the same legislation in Illinois as a state senator. Connecticut forbid it’s college coaches from attending the Final Four, but has the same law on the books. Bill Clinton (Hillary’s HINO) signed similar legislation into language while President. No mention of any of these things in the uproar. The convenient lack of objectivity shows it’s to serve a political purpose to create a public perception against GOP candidates, just like they did in 2012.

2. The public destruction of Governor Pence was a warning shot intended to shape the GOP Presidential field. They have clearly targeted Pence, and done him great damage on the national level. Pence made a number of tactical errors and generally bungled his public handling of the entire issue. But the lesson is clear and intended to do more than just eliminate a conservative GOP candidate. It was both practice in destroying the rest of them, and warning that the GOP select a candidate “from the center.” Another Romney.

3. Finally, the uproar was specifically fueled by the collaborative “gay” churches, like the Episcopalians, and directed at the rest. You will notice that the Baptists called for a repeal of the law and the Disciples of Christ cancelled their 2017 convention scheduled for Indianapolis. The strategic goal, more or less as a byproduct of the political goal, is the final cultural victory over religion and the Word of God. Having caved on this issue, it will give all the leverage necessary for the main denominations to recognize homosexual “marriage.” That will happen in the next five years, one denomination at a time.

And yes, all that other fascist stuff about exterminating freedom of conscience applies too.

Homosexuality is a behavior. It is an action. A male cannot be a homosexual until he willingly puts his penis into another male’s mouth or anal canal, or willingly allows another male to put his penis in his mouth or anal canal.

I love my male friends, but I have no desire to engage in homosexual behavior with them. It is the act that defines homosexuality. How hard is that to understand?

Oh, that’s right, it’s a useful political issue.

USE THIS AS A LESSON FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND FREINDS

This has been the most obvious and glaring media circus. Take an innocent issue, which exists already in many states, which has been supported by democrats in the past... and CALL IT RACISTTTTT!!!

The Stupid Party still jumped when the libtards said “jump”, though.. the only one with balls was Cruz.

And people are seeing it.

If only Gov. Pence and what’s-his-name the Arkansas gov. had the courage of conviction. Instead they caved liked the spineless weenies they are. That’s how battles are lost, but we have already won the war.

I doubt Jesus is smiling at all this and thinking it is about “rights” for homosexuals...

My company formally published a notice that they are talking to the governor of Indiana about this extreme legislation.
I posted a National Review Online article link and synopsis that this is freedom of association, not a disaster.
We’ll see if HR freaks out at me today.
