Writer Ana Marie Cox argued that “you’re going to have to force people to do things they don’t want to do” in a discussion on Indiana’s RFRA law on Saturday’s “Up with Steve Kornacki” on MSNBC.
“I think it’s important for the context of the discussion of the Indiana law to say that it was in part passed in response to what happened in new mexico to try and change the ability of people to — not have to do these kinds of things. I guess I want to — I don’t think they’re reconcilable [preventing discrimination and religious liberty]. I do think you’re going to have to force people to do things they don’t want to do. That’s sometimes what happens in a democratic society” Cox stated.

Coercion is the very antithesis of liberty.
But she's right, coercion IS what happens in a DEMOCRATIC society, that is, rule by the mob.
Which is why the American founders created a REPUBLICAN form of government, that is, rule by law, created by the people through their legislatures, to PROTECT and SECUREE the liberties of the people.
<>That’s sometimes what happens in a democratic society” Cox stated.<>
Yes, as you relate, Democracies, including representative democracies like ours end in tyranny. Always. She is right.
Now, what are we going to do about twits like Cox telling us to sit down, shut up, and suck up our liberties?
Ok, Ana, so we can force Stevie Wonder to perform at the Republican National Convention? We can force a liberal ad agency to take on Shell Oil as a client?
So can we force the 10 Commandments and crosses back into our schools and government offices. Is it the same for atheists too?
He is Risen
I agree..reduce the federal government, including welfare, by 70-90%!
With”The Left”,it’s”Their Way Or The Highway”!They are Extremely”Tolerant”as long as you roll over and”Play Dead”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does one really believe that one can reason with people like this? Does one really believe that one can change their beliefs? Normal political methods are no longer applicable.
Here is a suggestion. Deport everyone that had an 0bama bumpersticker to Venezuala. Let them know any attempt to return will be a capital crime.
“This is what they are taught to think in college.”
Yep. She attended University of Chicago (think Bill Ayers) as well as U of C Berkeley. An interesting little tidbit from Wikipedia:
“Cox was married to Chris Lehmann, formerly of The Washington Post, New York, and Congressional Quarterly. They divorced sometime in 2011.[12] In 2009 on an Amtrak train from New York to Washington Cox had a severe allergic reaction after eating a lentil salad. Fox News host Greta Van Susteren saw her choking and came to her aid with Benadryl, after which Cox recovered. Cox later personally thanked Van Susteren for saving her life”
Totalitarian leftists like this twit need a swift kick in the rear out of the country.
My, how the left embraces fascism and tyranny of late.
What progressives don’t understanding is that their beliefs ARE a form of religion and that the 1st amendment is not there to protect them from Christianity but to protect all of us from a state religion. My ancestors were forced from Virginia in 1781s because they wanted to preach outside of the Anglican Church which was the official religion of Virginia at the time. They evolved into Separatist Baptists. My sixth great uncle was defended by Patrick Henry for preaching from his jail cell to people standing outside the jail.
Guess that means it’s OK for me to force this wench to have sex with me, even if she doesn’t want to.
I won’t agrue with you on that...
That maybe the worst tattoo that I have seen ever.
Pack up your belongings into a suitcase, move over here, get on this train and then take a shower... force.
