The greatly anticipated “fix” to the Indiana religious freedom law has been released by the Indiana legislative committee, and it is far worse than conservatives feared.
According to law professor Mark Rienzi, the new fix will allow the state to prosecute Christians criminally for denying gay weddings their professional affirmation.
Rienzi, of the Becket Fund and Catholic University School of Law and who was lead attorney in the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case that upheld a claim under the federal religious freedom law, said this would “criminalize religious objectors.”

That’s true. Any citizen could use O’Keefe’s past actions re: exposing the radical left as a “go-by” though.
One thing’s for sure. We on the right need to get just as organized and determined as the left is. And using their own tactics against them is an excellent start.
Actually, it demonstrates how well the Left has succeeded in conditioning people who should know better, that they dare not question the false premises of collectivist/egalitarian fanatics.
When will it become illegal to pursue normal heterosexual relationships?
The new language is unacceptable
Here’s how this nonsense works:
I own some beautiful property that would make a wonderful wedding venue in an area that has a shortage of them.
I have been considering making it a wedding venue for several years. This latest business has taken “wedding venue” off of my list of possible uses of the property. I am also removing any kind of overnight hospitality options as well.
Great move Nazis - because there will be fewer options overall, there will be fewer for you guys.
I agree it is all fake outrage; which is why I do not understand why the Politician's pursue these laws.
IMHO, this law is a feel good law for Christian's. As a Christian, I would much prefer the Politician's focus on things that improve our lives, less government, taxes, fiscal responsibility. This law is over something that may or may not ever be an issue and if it is, it will be over one or two cases in Indiana.
The gay population is 2% to 5% at best. Of course the Gay mafia wants you to think it is 50%. Of that 2% to 5% a very small percentage will get married. Again the Gay mafia wants you to think the 50% gay need marriage rights. Of all of the Bakeries, Florist, and Banquet halls, how many are owned by people who have very strong Religious Convictions?
There will be gays that will seek these people out and try to make an issue but it is a very small group.
Why create this firestorm? If just gives the dems, media, and liberals a stick to beat on Republicans as intolerant bigots. The language and intent of the law does not matter. The genie is out of the bottle and there is nothing these legislators can do to fix this.
Exposure of left wing radicals has been going on for years. Have they lost any control of politics and the culture? People act as if this is a vampire movie. Exposure only harms conservatives as they have moral principles that can be targeted using ridicule or accusations of hypocrisy.
What you posted is absolutely correct Constitutionally - but the problem is - neither state nor the US Constitutions are abided by anymore. We no longer a nation that abides by the rule of law. Thank you BHOPAL and RINO Republicans.
I not only question, I outright defy.
This madness has to stop.
Sounds like you think we should just give up and give in. Is that what you're proposing here? If so, which side are you really on?
They don't rank high enough on the grievance totem pole.
Only the disgusting Repukes could fail this badly. I’m done with them.
Unless Ted Cruz is the nominee, I will not vote. End of story. I don’t care who it is. The country is dead anyway
Your tagline is apt. Franco and Rivera had the right idea about what to do with the ‘tolerant left’ when they butchered Catholics across Spain.
Hoosiers need to rise up and begin recall petitions - go for the jugular.
What’s next? If someone is invited to a gay wedding and don’t agree with gay marriage, will they be forced to attend or send a gift?
Bow down to your overlords!
Your so delusional that you can't even see any alternatives to your current desire to "view with alarm" ad nauseum hoping that an enlightened populace will rise up and smite the wrongdoers. The populace is either complicit or waiting for someone else to take real action or like you on a loop of believing that simply pointing out the truth will suffice. It's kind of a right wing ..."Greening of America".
