Actually you already have that right. This is just a law to remind judges of your rights.

Angie’s List is an Indiana company, trying to threaten the state with no HQ expansion if the law is not revoked.

We subscribe to Angie’s List, and will let them know if the company is going to hate religion, I will stop being a paying subscriber.

That is the Marxist “control of language” which can control the proper perceptions of the masses (useful idiots).

They are training the masses to connect controversial to true marriage-—the same way they were able to normalize such an irrational concept as sodomizing others is a Virtue and Good, by putting the word “homosexual” in front of the word “marriage” for decades.

They are controlling the concepts of the ignorant masses. (Repeat, repeat and repeat and it becomes the Truth/Rational). It “feels” good and right-—although the whole concept is bizarre and vile and irrational.

They have to destroy Reason and Logic-—they do it by controlling Words and therefore the allowed ideas of the masses. Pro-Choice was their brilliant concept 50 years ago-—as Pro-Life was a brilliant comeback, although a little late.

Whoever controls the MSM will control the ideas of the masses, through language (Wittgenstein/Marxists/Edward Bernays).

It gives Jews the right to not decorate cakes with yellow stars and swatikuz
And African Americans won’t have to create T shirts with KKK and burning crosses on front

Yes because it’s based on an assumption of law of supply and demand. If there are other bakers, florists in the area that is willing to provide the service without any moral objections, then there is no “discrimination” because the gays have an opportunity to get those services met at another business.

Yep, they use to say, just stay out of our bedrooms, that is all we want and ask.

Fast forward, they are in our children’s schools, parades, TV Shows, sued businesses and won, etc.

Good to hear FREEPers are responding. I hope Angie’s List changes its policy and attitude.

Carbonite lost me for good.
So did the NFL.

Angie’s List provides a decent service, but I can live without ‘em.

Similar to the idea of the conservative "firebrand."

Notice there are never any liberal "firebrands?"

Look like the media is trying to Saul Alinsky Gov. Pence. I hope he stands tall.

Yeah that's it,thanks.
I think some of our guys could take a lesson from Pence.
Stephanounghaluss tried on eight different occasions to pin Pence down to a yes or no gotcha question and Pence would never take the bait.
We need to do that more often. Let them know we will not be screwed over.
