Having Texas join them will be a big loss for the vaccine Karens.
Texas Freepers, contact your legislator now and ask them to move forward on this bill.
I guess for the Left discrimination is bad, until it isn’t.
Every state under Republican control should do this.
Yep. I struggle to figure out why Montana has stood alone on this.
EOs are not enough.
Every state should do this.
I guess for you government mandates aren't bad until they are. The very same government power that denies businesses the right to require vaccinations could just as easily be used to require businesses employ or cater only to those vaccinated. It's a slippery slope.
suck on this Kristi Noem, you globalist fool.
I saw this reported yesterday as a ban on vaccines, NOT a ban on vaccine mandates.
Because the media knows how dangerous these bills are to their mandate agenda. So they will lie about what they do.
The AssPress whines daily about how terrible Montana’s law is.
Looks like the nanny state trying to take discretion from business owners.
I wasn’t cheering any government mandate, just pointing out the gargantuan hypocrisy of the left.
When it comes to government overreach there is absolutely no lack of hypocrisy on either side. Everyone is fine with mandates they agree with and angered by those they are not.
Only when ALL government business mandates are gone can you make that argument with a straight face.
Those mandates are entrenched and have been for decades.
The vaccine Karen’s, including some in this thread, routinely snipe with “unvaccinated status isn’t a protected class.”
Well, now it will be.
Since all mandates aren’t going to be removed, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Like how I can not hire Negroes?
Women?
Faggots?
Jews?
Not serve any of the above?
Maybe put in bathrooms for coloreds?
We are not a free market economy, never have been or will be.
The US isn’t in the top 15 for free economies globally.
Established in 1996, Free Republic is one of the earliest and largest online gathering places for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We’re working to roll back decades of governmental largess
Great non answer. You should be a politician.
Speak in meaningless platitudes while not addressing the issue.
I guess I’m more for rolling back government mandates over business rather than cheering on expansion.
How is it an expansion? No shots were required before, and this insures that wouldn’t change. It’s largely Fascism as our Federal government is leaning on businesses.
‘Every state under Republican control should do this.’
tell that to Kristi Noem...
You nailed it.
