How do you know that you’ve won the argument? It’s usually when your opponent expands the scope of the issues well beyond their deliberately narrow parameters in the pursuit of more favorable terrain. Connecticut’s Gov. Dannel Malloy is desperately searching for higher ground.
On Monday, Malloy humiliated himself and his state when he imposed a ban on state-sponsored travel to Indiana in protest of that state’s Religious Freedom and Restoration Act. Unable to respond to the fact that his state also has a RFRA that is even more protective of the sensibilities of religious adherents, Malloy has taken to making even more embarrassingly overwrought comments about Indiana’s law and its repercussions.
“He got caught,” super-sleuth Malloy told CNN’s Carol Costello on Tuesday, congratulating himself for having noticed a law passed by Indiana’s legislature and signed by the state’s governor. How could these Hoosiers have been so careless?
He went on to strongly criticize Mike Pence’s judgment and political sensibilities, calling his appearance on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos “disastrous.” Malloy concluded by noting that any of the 2016 Republican candidates have been effectively disqualified from holding higher office

No dissent is permitted.
The first amendment is now verbotten
Governor Malloy.Please shut the hell up.He only speaks for himself.Even though Connecticut is a Liberal hell hole there are still a lot of religious people here.
Are State Senators who voted for these laws disqualified from the Presidency?
What is Governor Stupid from Connecticut going to d about his RFRA law that has been passed and in place today. Should he resign?
Yup. Malloy and the left have lost this argument just like they have been losing all of the other gay marriage fights over the last few years. /s
Yeah; that kind of rhetoric will sure encourage Ruger, Stag, PTR, Colt, Mossberg et al to move back to CT.
How many battles did Adolf win before he ultimately lost the war?
What next, if a politician admits Christian faith that also disqualifies him/her ???
that would be appropriate IMO
14th Amendment, Section 1:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Unlike those pro-gay activist states which have already unthinkingly violated Section 1 of the 14th Amendment imo, the Indiana RFL actually helps Indiana to avoid violating that amendment.
On the other hand, Christians need to be careful not to be a stumbling block to those people who are wresting with slavery to same-sex sexual desires, but are nonetheless trying to seek the truth in Jesus. This is evidenced by 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 which indicates that some church members had been struggling with such desires, but had evidently accepted God’s grace to repent and turn their lives around.
I, for one, am sick and tired of the 3% who elect to behave a certain way running roughshod over the rest of us. I know I am not alone.
In 2014 there were 548,248 flatliners in Connecticut who voted for this leftist low-life.
I think Ted Cruz should backtrack on his support for the Indiana measure: he should call for it to be amended to be identical to Connecticut’s by removing the adverb “substantially” governing the verb “burden”. (Heh! heh! heh!)
Go UConn!!!! (Unless, Mallory tell you you can't come to Tampa.)
