Religious freedom, liberty just code words for intolerance, U.S. Civil Rights chairman says
By Mark A. Kellner - Special to The Washington Times - - Thursday, September 8, 2016
The chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights said that religious freedom and religious liberty have become merely code words for intolerance, Christian supremacy and committing every form of identity-politics sin, and thus they must yield before anti-discrimination laws.
The remarks, released Thursday in a report on Peaceful Coexistence: Reconciling Nondiscrimination Principles with Civil Liberties, is the latest example of an increasingly hostile reception in liberal circles to one of the six specified rights at the core of the First Amendment the free exercise of religion.
The phrases religious liberty and religious freedom will stand for nothing except hypocrisy so long as they remain code words for discrimination, intolerance, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, Christian supremacy or any form of intolerance, said Martin R. Castro, a Chicago Democrat named USCCR chairman by President Obama in 2011.
Religious liberty was never intended to give one religion dominion over other religions, or a veto power over the civil rights and civil liberties of others, he said in the 307-page document.
At the heart of the Peaceful Coexistence report is a USCCR assertion that granting religious exemptions to nondiscrimination laws significantly infringe on the civil rights of those claiming civil rights protections on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability status, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

My guess is this genius has never read the First Amendment
Nor heard that Constitutional rights always take precedence over forced statutory “rights”
You can’t make me accept any of your perversion, jerkov. I will practice my religion as I see fit and act accordingly. I will hire who I choose to hire. I will rent to who I choose to rent to. I will exercise my Freedom of Association with whom I choose.
My religion, my property rights, my freedoms, no soup for you.
"Religious Freedom" and "Liberty" *ARE* Civil Rights !!! This dribble coming from the so-called "U.S. Civil Rights" chairman clearly shows that he isn't about Civil Rights at all.

Just a few months and our long national nightmare will be over. One way or another.
I did not need to see this this morning....
Has someone misplaced the super-secret Conservative code word book again?
I hope its not “another”.
But if it is, so be it.
I am tired of this bull.
Intolerance is a term I see in use by the homonazis and feminists a lot more often than Christians which is hardly ever. Getting the leftists to admit the truth would be like pulling teeth though...
Excellent summation
Mr. Trump better be ready to fire and replace all these vermin.
Let us all pray. Pray for Trump.
No way did this idget prepare this report by himself. I'm sure the Muslim Satanist in the WH had ValJar send over a legal staff to do all the heavy work with Soros legal staff phoning in key components of the review to set the table for legal standing that would kill actual freedom of religion in the very near future. I hate these evil corrupt double negative speak SOBs who use their legalese to intentionally mislead and confuse the public.
It seems that as evil increases do do the number of lawyers? Funny how that works, eh?
The Chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is FOS. (No “code words” necessary).
NEWSPEAK IS DOUBLEPLUSGOOD
CONFORMITY IS DIVERSITY
The Thought Police will not tolerate any intolerance among the people who are not good-thinkers!
Another guy who needs to be removed if Trump wins.
code words for discrimination, intolerance, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, Christian supremacy or any form of intolerance,
These are code words for removing first amendment rights, forced conformity, and government control. Followed immediately by removal of second amendment rights. It’s like the word diversity actually means reverse racisim.
You just can’t fix stupid
John Adams said it best.
“Because we have no government, armed with power, capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Any wonder why people today are rushing toward abolition of morality in this country?
