Now who's the moral majority?
CNN ^ | April 6, 2015 | Stephanie' Coontz

The public outrage over the "religious freedom" bills recently passed in Arkansas and Indiana caught the governors of those states completely off-guard, judging by their confused and contradictory responses.

As poll watchers, they surely knew that most Americans now oppose the discriminatory laws and practices they accepted as normal only a dozen years ago.

In light of the huge amount of money raised on Go Fund Me, to help a small business in Indiana, I don’t see how the author can make the claims that she did.

Or you and your thugs will kill them, right, Stephanie? (This is the woman whose "academic" specialty is trashing the family. No such thing ever existed or does exist, apparently, except for whatever twisted combos she and her perverted friends find appealing this week.)

But I thought the mantra of these people was, “You can’t (or at least shouldn’t) legislate morality.”

The author is at least honest that their intent is to impose their moral vision on the rest of us, not to tolerate a variety of such visions.

So apparently he thinks beheading anyone else is hunky-dory?

Coontz also had a leadership role in the Young Socialist Alliance, a Trotskyist youth group of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP).

They will overplay their hand.

Right now, they think nothing can touch them. But they will screw with the wrong person, and that person will come at them like a wild beast.
