So after days of being beaten up by the media for a false charge of discrimination, the GOP’s answer is to: Discriminate against Christians.

This is EXACTLY what is going on. The corporate arm of the GOP is destroying the “culture” arm. Well, they are putting us at the kids table. They will still say all the right things, blame the Libtards and the “liberal media” etc. But they own our candidates and our Party. They own those that are loved by even some of us. And just because some of those corporations/billionaires say the right things (can was say Koch and Addleson), be assured they will throw us under the bus when the money suits them. And by then, there won’t be anything we can do about it as so many will be chasing what, on the surface is, a Conservative.

I guess don’t feel to bad as the LibTards do it too.

Why did NASCAR and Angie’s List run to the microphones to denounce the RFRA law?

Because the LGBT groups were banging on their door telling them they would be called bigots and boycotted if they didn’t.

Where were the Christian groups?

RE :”The question arises: Why does the GOP keep picking fights (government shutdown, executive amnesty, ObamaCare, RFRA, etc) it can’t win? Some Republicans are particularly frustrated by the Indiana mess because they believe, as Noah Rothman put it, “this is a good hill to defend.”
Sorry, Noah. The problem isn’t the hill. It’s the defenders. The GOP sucks at politics—sucks so badly that there is NO hill they can take, NO fight with the Democrats they can win.
If politics were a real battlefield, the GOP would be the Iraqi army. Yes, it’s that bad.......
.....
Instead we’ve got the Rush Limbaugh brigades: “Screw ‘em—they’re too stupid to understand anyway. Just pass the RFRA, shut down the government, call Obama a Communist—which he IS, by the way!!—and if the American voters are too dumb to understand how right we are, that’s THEIR problem!”

Its really sad that this guys negative words ring true, and sound like me.

He forgot to mention that many of these same 'real conservative' talk radio types also claim that all the GOP has to do to win like 1984 again is to increase their white over 50 vote, that they stayed home in 2012 and 2008 and a few shutdowns will bring them out again after 31 years.....

The only line I disagree with is this one: “But in 2016, Barack Obama won’t be on the ballot.”

Um, GWB wasn’t on the ballot in 2008, except he was in a very real way. Just wait until November of 2016. I say this within the context of my tag line.

And I do disagree with the author on a foundational interpretation of events. My take is that the R’s are not stupid. Rather, what they are exposing is that the game is totally rigged. The R’s and D’s are two sides of the same coin, playing us against each other.

At least in this way, George Carlin was right. It’s not that nobody can play the game. It’s that the game is utterly rigged. It might as well be pro wrestling.

No one wants to admit that this became inevitable over 50 years ago, with passage of the Civil Rights Act. Once the federal (and then states) government was able to sell the bizarre, mystical idea that private business owners weren’t free to discriminate based on whatever reason they bloody well pleased, it was only a matter of time before everyone jumped on the “discrimination” grievance train.

Well we have a very similar law trying to claw its way out of committee here in GA. So it if it passes God willing I guess we will have weather the outrage also.

It's a trap only for the ones who cannot clearly and firmly stand up for the First Amendment, federal law, the 2nd and 3rd Articles of the Indiana Bill of Rights, and against the notion of governmental entities substantially burdening the exercise of religion.

If you let the media twist you into a pretzel (and Pence has had some strong moments of not allowing it), then that is when you fail the test. If you stand firm, and simply state that you support the Constitutions, the rights of citizens to follow their conscience, and the federal law (promoted by Bill Clinton and Chuck Schumer), then you pass.

A proper test is not a trap.

Pence can kiss any talk of running for POTUS goodbye. Every conservative talkie was busy defending it and his decision then he vacilates to the godless sodomites using politcal correctness who’ve declared war on Christianity. Proves he’s no crusader for conservativism.

Until a gay, no wait, better yet, a lesbian couple marches their behinds into a mosque or muslim place of business and demands a marriage ceremony or gay friendly service then this is nothing more than the usual disingenuous bs from the left to make the Christian religious right look bad. Until they do this, they only prove that they don’t really care about the rights they are screaming their heads about.
