“The answer is above my paygrade” will always be valid to the MSM. After all, Obama used it to sidestep politically dangerous questions.
BUSINESS LAW is not being addressed in this forum. I think they should let people sell pizzas to whomever or to NONE. And let the alternate gender community open up their own pizza parlor, make a BETTER pizza, serving GREAT pizzas to the Christians and edge them out of business........ AMERICA works, let the people figure it out but PLEASE keep Big Brother out of the fray.....please.
If Rand can't see this, can't articulate this, and is no better than the other GOP candidates whose God is money, God help us.
If the state can now compel someone to act against their conscience, 500 years of Western Civilization is on the edge.
DO NOT TRUST RAND PAUL!
I heard from wise Evangelical Fundamental Christian Conservative Bible Business People....say...that the MONEY, and profit they receive from Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientologists and New Age clowns looks REAL good at the end of the day deposited in the bank. I think they need to let the BUSINESS LAW of supply and demand go to work and keep the governors desk free of such nonsense.
There is no real controversy about Indianas religous freedom law imo. Sadly, low-information Christians in this case and related cases evidently dont know the Constitution well enough to protect themselves from their states regardless if states like Indiana had never made such a law.
As mentioned in related threads, the key constitutional statute is Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Note that the privileges or immunities term which John Bingham, the main author of Section 1, used in that section is just another way to refer to constitutionally enumerated rights, most of these well-known rights, including 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression, listed in the Bill of Rights.
And Christians must keep in mind that the low-information state government leaders of their respective states are probably just as clueless as to what the Constitution indicates about such issues as the government leaders in Indiana evidently are.
Well it’s not like it was about anything important, like...............drugs.
Conservative libertarian is a contradiction in terms, a propaganda choice of words to create an illusion.
Famed libertarian Penn Jillette has come out against the law.
Reason magazine, the flagship libertarian publication has also come out against it.
Mostly because Penn HATES religion of all kind. He gets foam-at-the-mouth insane about it.
Yes, Rand isn't ready for prime time. He tries to be all things to all people. I wish he'd just be the libertarian voice of the Senate and earn respect.
Rand Paul strikes me as someone whose ambition outweighs his principles.
He is a libertarian, which is anti-Christian.
Reason magazine also opposes the law, and is ranting against it.
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Honestly, I think Rand Paul is a giant pussy.
I believe people should be free to be what they are, as their conscience leads them. But don't give power to the government to compel me to believe what I know is not true.
That’s kind of insulting to p-. ;’) Thanks gwgn02.
