Battle between religious and gay rights splits GOP states
Associated Press ^ | Apr 6, 2016 2:10 AM EDT | David A. Lieb

Republican lawmakers upset about the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage have advanced measures in about a dozen states this year that could strengthen protections for those who refuse on religious grounds to provide services to same-sex couples.

The bills could benefit court clerks, photographers, florists, bakers, wedding-hall operators and others who say gay matrimony goes against their beliefs.

For a party already being torn apart by the presidential contest, the state legislative efforts have exposed deep rifts between the GOP’s social conservatives and its pro-business wing. Business leaders worry that such measures will allow discrimination and scare away companies and major events. …

Now the AssPress uses a term like “gay matrimony,” seriously? An attack on the institution and on what they would call “gender norms” at the same time.

As for the businesses and the way they are acting, that’s what happens when one trades with non-market economies run by autocratic oligarchs pushing anti-religious revolution.

paypal jumped on the bandwagon today. don’t use them anyway.

cancelled Netflix.

Propaganda is a horrifyingly strong tool. That companies are terrified of 2 percent of the population because the media has made them its cause is frightening.

I hope the southern states stick by their guns. The first cause was getting rid of the confederate flag. Now this.

what’s next?

  1. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. …
  1. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

  2. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

  3. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

  4. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings; substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

  5. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness; repulsive, meaningless art.”

  6. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

  7. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

  8. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

  9. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” …
  1. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. …
The communists have been working on these goals virtually unimpeded for over a half-century thus far. Those that don’t recognize them for what they are will of course be overwhelmed when they bear fruit.

We’re in a lot of trouble.

the under 30 crowd is indoctrinated at least to some extent, by this insanity.

50 years of owning the media, newspapers, and Hollywood.

what a shame. Such a great country. Hillary would be the end.

Manufactured controversy. The only businesses supporting this pro-fag mentality are run by liberals anyway.

If this was 1960 and the issue was Jim Crow, anyone defying the status quo would be hailed as a hero. But now that the status quo is to extend special privileges to butt-humpers, to resist is felonious.

Paypal is about to get the boot from me as soon as two pending transactions clear. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years, but they’re going to get an earful from me on the way out.

Don’t consider Hulu, either. They are just as homoMarxist as Netflix.

Rights are bestowed upon the created by their Creator.

Are the diseases, whose association with homosexual perversion is clearly documented by the CDC “natural rights” — or natural DUE PENALTIES?
