Conservatives are ignoring the fact that in 2008 California voted against gay marriage and every other stated voted against it before recent elections. The reason that voters are no longer against gay marriage is that big business threw their weight into it. I don't know that either side has grasped that. People know they can lose their jobs, their status, a lot if they don't toe the lines.
Conservatives have traditionally defended big business from the left. What will happen now that big business supports the full left wing philosophy and are using their resources and might to crush conservatism and Christianity?
If the drunks, swindlers, gays, and adulterers were to all merge up...that might take up fifty percent of the nation. So far, I haven’t heard of some allegiance between the four lifestyle groups. You’d think that the drunks would all be all upset about being denied to any place....but they haven’t said much. The swindlers? They aren’t worried about denial of entry at all. And as for the adulterers? Well...they’ve got a ‘date’ this afternoon at the motel....so they just got no time for discussion at all.
It is called corporatism and that is when the state and corporations conspire to implement fascism through dictatorial decree... America 2013... but things will change as consumers kill the beasts by attrition. Watch a&e... they will either eventually fire their homosexual leadership and clean house or go away. Ask Cracker Barrel. Ask gm. Millions of us will NEVER buy another gm product... after a lifetime of buying nothing but gm products.

FACT: Voters are still against Gay marriage. Nothing has changed. From Chic-Fil-A to JC Penny to Duck Dynasty, to the failure of gay themed media to mocking Obamacare ads. We are still strongly against it. Nothing has changed.
I think it is laughable to pin this on A&E. If they hadn’t suspended Robertson, they would have been crushed themselves. It’s ridiculous to ignore thew fact big business now overwhelmingly supports and enforces left wing ideology.

Very interesting...How to slay that beast?
Well, Cracker Barrel backed down in a hurry. If we put enough pressure on, they will figure out 98% is a bigger number than 2%.
Christianity cannot be crushed. In rare cases, it has been driven underground...but, frankly, it thrives underground better than out in the open.
This nicely resonates with howls of protest over Pope Francis' remarks regarding capitalism. There is a reason that the First Commandment got first place. Idolatry comes very easy to us.
I disagree.
As we have seen most recently with Cracker Barrel, big business is at the mercy of the consumer. Big business, in social matters, is a follower, not a leader. They will happily sell you a condom or a chastity belt.
Voters don't look to big business for voting advice. Management rarely tells the workers who to vote for unless the ballot issues directly & materially affect the business. Big business, by virtue of nondiscrimination laws, has been forced to accept behavior & dress in the workplace that no serious businessman would ever tolerate.
I fault priests & pastors for changing their message from sin & salvation to inclusion & tolerance. Phil Robertson has shamed them. He speaks the truth the pastors & priests avoid. He confronts sin & sinners head on, simple & straightforward. It hard to make that claim about our current religious leaders, whose words are so vague they are routinely interpreted in opposing ways. We see how the Pope's words are so ambiguous that Nancy Pelosi believes she is doing God's work, a Catholic in good standing. We see Christian leaders equating Christianity with islam, its avowed mortal enemy & moral opposite.
Phil is trying to save individual souls, while Christian leaders seem more interested in their own power & influence. Phil exposes this hypocrisy, as does the deafening silence from the pulpit re. the A&E persecution of Phil R. Solid Christian leaders should stand up & say, "You are going to Hell & you are NOT taking us with you".
And don't forget prop 187 which CA also voted overwhelmingly for only to have state and feds burn their ballots and declare their free election illegal...Never forgot..
The reason that voters are no longer against gay marriage is that big business threw their weight into it.
If I can be honest here, big biz only cares about profits...Nothing else., Profits regardless of consequences so they cannot be trusted.
Government at all levels only care about votes, power, control, your money/assets. So they can't be trusted either.
Big business supports whoever is in charge.
