THE GAY RIGHTS AGENDA STOPS AT THE DOOR TO MY CHURCH–AND MY BUSINESS
Breitbart ^ | April 4, 2015 | by ASSEMBLYMAN TIM DONNELLY

Posted on 04/04/2015 7:44:40 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

I have a dream.

I have a dream that I will wake up one day in a country where we don’t have to go to court or pass a law to protect our fundamental natural rights—from the government.

I have a dream of a place where elected officials have so much regard for the Constitution that they memorize it like Scripture, in order to not sin against it.

I have a dream about a country where it doesn’t matter if you are on the right or the left, because you have so much respect for the freedoms you were given that you’d do nothing to put those liberties at risk.

If you told me that America in 2015 was such a place, I’d have to say, “April Fools” and go back to sleep.

Unfortunately, the joke is on us.

States have been forced to pass laws in order to protect the First Amendment right of Americans to practice their faith and believe as they choose—if they happen to own a certain type of business.

The fact that new laws are necessary to uphold a fundamental right is a travesty.

And it is a sign of how far we’ve fallen from the Founders’ vision of a nation where the government kept its hands off your business, your religion and your rights.

Regardless of the politics of this embarrassing charade playing out in Indiana and other states, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This battle isn’t about a gay person’s right to be served; this fight is about whether a gay rights activist can use the government and the courts to coerce someone into doing something that violates their faith.

That takes this out of the bedroom and puts this debate squarely into the realm of the Constitution...

I agree. I'm too old and way out of patience for this crap. But here's what we can give them right now: our REFUSAL!

Tim was my assembly rep. He was great, but was term limited out. Tim was approachable and a true Tea Partyer. His replacement is more formal and traditional. But I'm working on him. 😊

We see swarms of officers eating out our substance,
our children indoctrinated against all we hold dear
and right. When will we have enough?

I have a suspicion that of the entirety of the homosexual community that only a minority vocal percentage actually aggressively promotes the “gay” agenda.

"I have a dream that I will wake up one day in a country where we don’t have to go to court or pass a law to protect our fundamental natural rights—from the government."

This is correct. The Indiana law was actually a very crappy, weak law, that would force a small business to spend thousands of dollars in legal fees in order to defend their right to make their business decisions according to their own conscience, and to allow some peckerwood judge to pontificate on the sincerity of their religious beliefs.

There is no such thing as Gay “rights” All rights are from Natural Law.

The Gaystapo are pushing their luck. Things will not go well for them in the end.

Most of the opponents to Indianas new law were just rabid lefties trying to destroy any presidential ambitions Pence held and still feeling major butthurt over the super majorities Republicans hold in the Indiana statehouse.

Some actually think Democrats will now seep the next election as a result of this.

I actually believe this will drive the religious right back to the polls that they have been avoiding in recent elections.

I want to to know when the real American men and women are going to have had enough and do something to rectify the situation.

I don’t know if we’re into revelations yet or not, but I think we should go down quietly.

I really want to see gays protesting a mosque or one of their schools.
