I see Washington on these maps as having RFRA in some degree, but I recall reading a thread today on FR saying that a florist in that state had just been fined for refusing to sell flowers to a pair of fags for their faux wedding.

Washington is one of the states that leaves it up to the courts.

I just called Angie's List and canceled effective immediately, getting a refund. The attendant initially just canceled effective at the end of my year, but I asked if there was a way to do so immediately and get my money back and she said that was okay.

When she asked me why, I told her it was because Angie's List is against religious freedom and against the Federal version of the law (which is exactly the same as what in place prior to this mirrored state version).

I then called my relatives and asked them to consider immediate cancellation, as well.

What the hell is Angie's List? Is that a hook-up list for carpet-munchers? Or is it carpet installers? I don't use either, so there you go.


You must be in the "I haven't watched television since 1971" crowd.

Progressives have mastered the science of using language to constantly reinforce ideology and thus winning arguments just by starting them.


Indeed they have. I wish our side would wise up and use more aggressive tactics.

Despite those precautions, you may still get a bad crew from a multi-crew operation. My anecdote: we used your suggested technique to locate the best plumber in town for a master bath remodel and another bathroom addition. Some of the highlights :
* hot water connected to toilet.
* no hot water to one shower.
* reversed hot and cold on the other shower.
* installed blower for bath air jets backwards.
We had already paid the bill, then they came back with another bill to cover their costs to fix their screw-ups. Finally, the owner called us names when we balked at paying for them to fix their mistakes.
They still have a reputation for being the best.

‘Well, as much as I like Angie’s List (we’ve been subscribed to it for many years) & have benefited from it, I likely will now not renew.”

Want another reason not to renew?...’Angie’ is a big Obama supporter (maybe we should call them ‘suckers for a tootsie roll’)

“More states should pass the law and back the Liberals into a corner.”

That’s actually a very good idea. I’d love to see it happen then sit back and watch the libs squirm.

Every pro-life or pro-religion law is automatically changed to anti-whatever once the media get’s involved. Indiana’s law guaranteed religious freedom to those who don’t want to be forced into supporting perverted lifestyles. We live in the world, but are commanded to not be of this world. That in the twisted pervert’s mind means hate and fantasies lynch mobs are right around the corner. If homosexuals really wanted to be treated like everybody else they’d stop howling for special rights and constantly screaming about their perversions to draw attention to themselves.

All of these companies and organizations have learned their tactics from the best in extortion business, Jesse Jerkson and Al Charlatan. Everyone in this country used to have freedom of choice and could patronize or not, companies and services that they liked or not.

Now you either agree with the leftist PC language of position, or you don't get to pick and choose who you want to do business with. Now you're forced to choose their position or else.

Well, f**k all these companies who think I'm going to change my spending habits based on their extortion and blackmail methods. They can go suck a big you-know-what for all I care.

If I was a company or, in this case, the state of Indiana, I would feel flattered and honored if one of these leftie Marxist organizations boycotted me. If you're taking flak, you know you're over the target.

They had a RFRA earlier because of a case involving anti-drug counselors who used a substance known as Peyote, and cited their Native American religion as justification, the case for such legislation in Washington State had nothing to do with homosexual rights, everything to do with a specific substance being used by people who taught against smoking, alcohol, cocaine, etc.

Your tag line ends “it’s tougher when you’re stupid.”

You should know. Anyone who thinks that calling people ugly names adds anything to a discussion is stupid.

Angie’s List is a uber-liberal outfit which makes major contributions to the kommies, and who are also major shakedown artists. There’s a class action lawsuit against them in Philly right now because AL claims to list contractors based on user feedback but in reality the list order is based on undisclosed ad revenues extracted from the contractors. AL apparently also hides negative feedback if a contractor pays them enough money. AL makes 3 times as much from contractor ad revenue as subscriber revenue.

AL is nothing but a bunch of lying, kommie shakedown artists.

check it out for yourself:

Any body who is to stupid or lazy to do their own home work in finding a competent, qualified contractor deserves to get ripped off by shysters like Angies List.

Angies list is a Con artist wet dream website.

My brother used it for a year and was exposed to series of con artist contractors and it turned out Angies list knew these creeps previous scam of their subscribers but allowed them to have listed access on there website.These con artists pay people to post reviews and post phony responses when subscribers warn others .
The con artists run amok unchecked.

There were No apologies from A@@h$les list just a basic sorry suckers To send off to my brother.
Then a month later the website attempted to renew his membership without his permission with an old credit card number.

That website needs to be sued and shut down..
