UK Daily Mail ^ | March 24, 2016 | Dominic Patten

One day after Disney announced that it would take its business elsewhere if Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signs into law a bill that would permit faith-based groups and organizations in the state to discriminate based on sexuality, one of the Peach State’s biggest media players has stepped into the debate. Today, Time Warner urged the Republican Peach State official to stop the Free Exercise Protection Act in its tracks.

Looks like the fall back position of defending religious liberty will be as effective as one of Hitler's imaginary defensive lines.

I hope GA calls their bluffs.

GA has a dynamic economy, any company that doesn't want to do business there is hurting their stockholders.

What if the Falcon fans decide to boycott until the NFL backs down?

The First Amendment right to religious freedom is now “anti-gay”? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. As the kids say, “That’s so gay”.

Yep, that’s our “corporate America” for you. When they’re not busy trying to keep our borders wide-open to every third-world invader, they’re busy pushing an agenda that empowers the depraved homo-fascists and persecutes Christians.

I’d like to see these traitorous bastards running these corporations skinned alive.

They are bluffs. Let's see of these national companies can excise a good portion of their business and market share?

The gaystapo and crony capitalists simply will not rest until every Christian in this country is either dead or in jail.

They won their big case at SCOTUS last year, but it’s never enough. It only increases their appetite for more Christian persecution.

The Gov will fold like a cheap suit. “Smartest” thing the left ever did was take over corporations.

“The First Amendment right to religious freedom is now “anti-gay”? “

Of course-—Whoever controls the words/language can control the proper attitudes of the masses.

All they do is repeat the Big Lie over and over and as Hitler said-—Evil can be “Good”.

They are flipping 2000 years of ethics, to satanism, because the Cultural Marxists know that “Vice creates Slaves”. They so desire that NWO where we are all interchangeable cattle (no male/female/uniqueness/sexual identity allowed) with no biological connections and the words “mother” and “father” and “wife” and “husband” are obsolete so that little children will be so dumb and irrational (removed from Reality/Truth/all History) that they will believe “snow is black” for their NWO slavery. Total dehumanization-—removal of Reality/Common Sense (History and Christianity) and Natural Laws (US Constitution).

Actually-—forcing this unnatural, irrational, vile Satanic practice on the masses is unconstitutional, but that hasn’t stopped the Marxists and probably got Scalia killed.

This is NOT an anti-gay bill no matter how the LGBT community deems to portray it. It is much less than those in 21 other states. Walt Disney is now threatening to not do any business in GA. Are they now going to leave Florida which has a much stronger bill? How about the NFL—is it now going to threaten 2 more of the states that already has the bill with not having the Super bowl there?

There are a lot of big corporations based in the Atlanta are are opposed to the religious freedom bill like Coca Cola and Home Deport.

I think the big companies do participate in elections like the Republican primaries. Several Metro Atlanta counties voted for Marco Rubio over the other candidates.

In Arkansas, where Wal-Mart opposed and helped to kill the religious freedom law last year, Benton County (where corporate HQ is located) also voted for Rubio over the other candidates in the primary.

This is considered a watered down bill by those who support it, but they want the governor to sign it.

I’m sorry I voted for Deal. Voting is an exercise in futility, a reverse slave auction in which the slaves get to choose their masters. I believe I read that in a Walter Williams column back in the 90’s. The 2016 Presidential auction may be the last one I vote in.

Gov Deal is a natural born RINO. Look for him to veto.

These movie companies are in our Georgia town a lot, and they’re a pain in the ass, traffic, and otherwise.

They boss the citizens around, block off the whole town at times. Not worth the pittance they pay the city. Of course, the star-struck city fathers fall all over themselves to “serve” them.

After seeing what they turned Hollywood into, we don’t need them here.

No, but I read states like California are already talking about a ban on employees going to conventions. The GOPe will fold on this. Guaranteed.

Let the morons go, I want to see TWC pull out of Georgia, I’m sure the stockholders would love it, just as I’m sure someone else is waiting in the wings to step into their place.
