The Left Repeats "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Tactic on the State of Indiana

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I want to go to Indiana and discuss this supposedly controversial Indiana religious freedom law. It's made to order for the modern-day Drive-By Media. On Saturday and Sunday, ABC, CBS, NBC -- virtually every mainstream media organization -- condemned a new law in Indiana that would protect private businesses from government infringement on their religious freedom. What this means is that the Obama administration wants to do away -- and the media is assisting -- with the whole notion of free markets, the Constitution, and the freedom of religion clause.

The administration wants the power to mandate everything as much as they can. Now, the news organizations -- ABC, CBS, NBC, and all the others -- just had a collective cow over this. And rather than provide any kind of balance, rather than explain the history and the context and the true meaning and detail of the Indiana law, they predictably began to trash the legislation and Indianans as a bunch of bigots opening the door to discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Controversial' Indiana Religious Freedom Law

Even the CEO of Apple, Inc., Tim Cook took to the pages of the Washington Post and wrote an editorial condemning this kind of legislation -- not just in Indiana, but wherever it might be -- and making it out to be example of the worst instincts among us that we have here discriminating against people, and it's so un-American and so forth. Mr. Snerdley me asked me today, "When's the last time Tim Cook wrote an op-ed in the Shanghai Daily News ripping the ChiComs?"

I mean, the ChiComs impinge on everybody's freedom, particularly religious freedom in China. Of course it's a major, major Apple market. I happened to think about it when Snerdley asked me the question. I can't think of the time when an Apple executive... All I can think of when it comes to ChiComs is Google caving to the ChiComs on what kind of search results will not be seen and produced by Google when Chinese citizens are searching.

But what is fascinating about this, and it's becoming an even more prevalent reality. On the one hand, on any issue, we have the reality. We have facts, we have history, we have context, we have truth. On the other hand, we have the absence of all of that, the misrepresentation of the facts, misrepresentation of the truth, misrepresentation of the context. In addition to that, then the media is hyping it all with a bunch of emotional propaganda that is designed specifically to misinform people bunch of about what has happened, particularly this case, this law in Indiana.

It's like everybody's forgotten the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling. It's like it never happened! Does anybody remember this, or the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which the Supreme Court upheld last year in the Hobby Lobby case? Everybody's acting like that's not the law of the land. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 was introduced by Chuck Schumer (Democrat-New York) on March 11, 1993; it was passed by a unanimous House of Representatives and a near unanimous Senate.

There were only three dissenting votes, and it was eagerly signed into law by none other than Slick Willie, a law that is practically identical to what happened in Indiana. If you want another similarity, it's like what happened to Arizona. Arizona passes some immigration law that pretty much paralleled, reflected -- maybe even you could say copied -- federal immigration law. The reason Arizona did it was that the federal government was not enforcing its law.

The borders were wide open.

There is a real movement out there to end criminal background checks. They would literally let bank robbers work at banks and child molesters work at day care centers if they had their way, they think anything else is discrimination.

The left is devolving into knuckle dragging cavemen and will soon be driveling as they run down the streets naked and screaming much as their ape men forefathers were.

[Eagles6]

It’s being led by the soetoro / jarrett / holder DOJ.

[TheConservator]

Can anyone point me to an INTELLIGENT analysis of the differences between the federal law and Indiana’s law?

The left is devolving into knuckle dragging cavemen and will soon be driveling as they run down the streets naked and screaming much as their ape men forefathers were.

Some are less evolved from their neanderthal ancestors than others.

What this is all about is the left trying to make sure that everyone is forced to kiss gay people’s ass and do whatever they want..to force us to tolerate their perverted lifestyle

[lonestar67]

The Supreme Court ruled the federal law did not apply to the states.

That led to the adoption of state laws holding the same principle.

Is that the concern you are raising?

Except for gun buyers.

Or - are those just going to be POLITICAL background checks?

[GeronL]

Except for gun buyers.

True, but I mean for employment

It’s their typical Alinski campaign against someone who has done something the Democrat Party doesn’t like or isolate, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, George Bush, Trent Lott, Mark Foley, Sarah Palin, Scott Walker, George Zimmerman, Todd Akin, Darren Wilson, Ted Cruz, and now Mike Pence.

[Sola Veritas]

This truly amazes me, the level of hypocrisy expressed by the left and the homosexual militants.

They say they want the “rule of law” to be had, but refuse to realize this is merely ensuring that the First Amendments religious freedoms are protected.

As others have said before...they don’t want equality, they want forced acceptance and to be able to legally destroy anyone that dissents from their views.

“The Left Repeats “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” Tactic on the State of Indiana”

Why not? It worked really well the first time, and I don’t believe that the public got a lot smarter over the last few months (like, there would be any danger of that).

[lapsus calami]

 

 

That's what I've been missing since all the screeching started. Either they specify the exact offending sections and/or subsections, or shut the hey up about it. The fact that no one has done so is showing all the wailing and gnashing of teeth up as phony outrage.

Thanks for posting this. I missed Rush today and was interested in what his analysis would be. lol....he and I think alike. I had the same thought - this sounds like the “hands up, don’t shoot” crap down in Ferguson.

And rather than provide any kind of balance, rather than explain the history and the context and the true meaning and detail of the Indiana law, they predictably began to trash the legislation and Indianans as a bunch of bigots opening the door to discrimination against gays and lesbians.

That is because a disproportionate number of MSM employees ARE gays and lesbians.

Indiana ain’t Furgeson...if you don’t like it here, get the hell out...
