Doesn’t his state have a similar law?
Malloy is a hypocrite and liar. But that’s nothing new for a scumbag Democrat.
Bigotry in Connecticut since 1993 ? D’oh
...of course there are still a few room temperature IQ people that think Obamacare is a good idea.
“Bigotry” is-a very, very tall-a tree in Italy.
And delusion is a river in Egypt.
It’s not discriminatory to Gays ... NOT HAVING THE LAW is discriminatory towards Christians and their deeply-held convictions!
Well, to tell you what Ive thought about this legislation, all along, is that its the gay issue that brought it out ... BUT ... its not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...
To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the gay issue is driving the discussion, but to me, that gay issue seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing Christian Conscience in business is about.
Unless Im mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the conscience of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that religious conscience by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the Christians conscience!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christians conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an after church Pizza gathering some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as Im concerned Mormons shouldnt get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesnt appear to be a gay issue but a VERY REAL Religious Conscience issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
A private business should have the right to refuse to do business with anyone, for any reason.
Let the marketplace decide. If a business wants to turn a way business, that’s their decision. That’s money they won’t make. And if someone wants to boycott them, fine. That’s free speech.
I dont know the formal name of that law, but the religious freedom restoration act?
The one Indiana and Arkansas were trying to implement?
It was supposed to PROTECT Christians, not brand us a TARGETS!
Our nation has fallen, we have abandoned God...
.
Judg 21:25 In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
Zip your lip and keep to your own business.
will Malloy start closing churches since he doesn’t believe in Religious Freedom???
Even without these religious freedom laws; we should have the right to discriminate against any deviant lifestyle. Don't people non-violently discriminate against pansexuallity, polyamory, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.? Non-violent discrimination against deviant lifestyles is a good thing!
Nobody is born being homosexual; it has never been scientifically proven. In fact, just the opposite is true IT IS A CHOICE! We have not only lost this premise, now people believe the premise that bisexuality is OK. Soon, we will lose the premise on polysexuallity, polyamory, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.
Frankly, IMO, we started to lose the premise that discrimination against indecent behavior was good when Americans began to accept sexuality outside the bond of a monogamous heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman for life.
Very good point!
I notice one thing that is happening -— Democrats ( O’Malley, de Blasio, Hillary, the MSM, Tim Cook, Walmart, etc. ) are all tag teaming to attack RFRA on one side.
On the other side, I don’t see ANY UNITED FRONT from Christians, Conservatives and Republicans defending the law.
How do you expect to win the fight when you allow the other side to throw all the kicks and punches and you simply try to duck for cover?
Or is it the case that you’ve surrendered already?
Where is the Daniel who will dare to stand for what is right in the face of danger?
I’m hoping it’s Ted Cruz.
The bigotry is the GAYSTAPO demanding Christian businesses to serve them ....
I expect we might here something about this law and the reactionary outcry against...from Sen Ted Cruz before very long.
If a bar refuses to serve a drunk is the bar owner a bigot?
If a daycare refuses to hire a child molester is the daycare owner a bigot?
If a preacher refuses to officiate over a three person wedding is the preacher a bigot?
Soros' talking points to the DNC outstrips US laws...
RE: If a bar refuses to serve a drunk is the bar owner a bigot?
If a daycare refuses to hire a child molester is the daycare owner a bigot?
____________________________________
Notice how these people are protected — they object to the BEHAVIOR of those they refuse to serve. If these folks BEHAVED, they would have been served.
Same principle should apply to gays.
It is not their being gay that’s the problem, it’s their forcing people to participate in a BEHAVIOR Christians object to that’s the problem.
The law should protect Christians from PARTICIPATING in a BEHAVIOR that is against their religious beliefs. THAT is what RFRA is all about.
