In a way you are right the Eastern part of the Ukraine is heavily populated by Russian wannabes. Still it doesn't account for the rest of Ukraine and pootie pretty much doing whatever he feels like doing when there is no one to stop him.
.............
What I don't like is there is a Russian ship(in cuba) only a hundred miles from me with 200 sailors on board and its getting very little coverage.

“Let’s shut down FOX.”

Who cares - the Republicans have RINOs, not many care. FOX is the equivalent on TV. Again who cares. And Sunday mornings with Fox’s lamebrain group? It is an insult to call then anything other then LESS Leftwing than the rest.

Well cousin Mike, I read your post and am a bit confused.

But whatever information you provided why couldn’t maybe the Republican s have provided while the hysteria climaxed?

I got an opinion about that fiasco last week and I might make some of you mad but hear me out.

As America is to understand it, Arizona passed a law that would allow, a florist say.... to refuse to service a same-sex wedding as his religion does not allow it.

Right there I’m thinking....damn. How the hell many florists are going to turn down a nice paying gig due to religious beliefs? Not to mock...no, no...not to mock. But you can get a chicken sandwich at Chick Filet no matter your sexuality.

Religious beliefs do not necessarily include denial of service is what I’m saying here.

All my wonderful common sense tells me that this was a rather silly thing for Arizona to pass a law, to please the errant baker who doesn’t want to bake a wedding cake for Bob and Bill.

I think this law was deliberately passed for this very eventuality.

For back in 1964, when I was a young blossoming maiden, this country enacted a law that disallowed businesses from discriminating against black people by denying them service.

The Civil Rights is a good law and has stood the test of time no mind those abusing its intent.

All of a sudden we’re going to enact another law that would deny service to a homosexual....this from a business with a license to conduct commerce in the public domain?

What the thing was was a political nightmare and typical of the Repubs. It makes no sense and I’m sure cousin Mike has some kind of reason why I’m wrong.

The reason I am usually right and cousin Mike....well he’s usually right too.

But The Wise I, yon ladies and gems, has the common sense of it.

Somebody got fooled by that mess in Arizona. Best thing, never mind the Super Bowl, is for the thing to have been vetoed and let it go down the memory drain.

Republicans....PR is just not that party’s strong suit.

PS-and please don’t give me this “THAT’S NOT WHAT THE LAW MEANT” crap. As I described is how the media hysteria came down and someone should have figured it out.

I agree with you up to the point that in at least a couple of cases—with one that went all the way to the Supreme court of New Mexico—that a business was OBLIGATED and REQUIRED by law to not only conduct business with gays (which should not be objected to, as in the case of the civil rights and blacks at the lunch counters in the 60s), but to PROMOTE the homosexual lifestyle with their labor.

You should have the right, as a business, to not be forced to promote things that are considered by yourself to be sinful and vile, and would jeopardize your soul with your God. I think it is not discrimination. I believe that even the sharpest mind in the legal profession notes that homosexuality has always been a sin in Christianity, along with fornication, murder, lying, cheating at cards, getting wastedly drunk, watching pornography, beating up people, stealing, being cruel to animals beyond reason, and a host of other things, some illegal, some not. But it is not like the idea that Christians would be against promoting any of that would be a new thing.

We have a right to keep our traditions and religious beliefs as long as it doesn’t hurt others. It does not hurt a homosexual wanting to get married to have to shop around a little to find a baker or photographer who will work for them. That is really my argument. It doesn’t HURT them. The law cannot force equality based on what is considered bad BEHAVIOR by some and not by others. In this case, the law can only stay out of the way and let people work it out themselves.

The idea that the law could FORCE someone in this case really is ludicrous. They want to argue it hurts them, but then by extrapolation, having a religion say your sexual habits are sinful hurts them also, and when the law says that religion MUST remove such a tenant because it is discriminatory, makes us all slaves to the law without religious freedom at all.

Arizona may or may not need such a law as they tried, but the wheels of justice have already turned on our religious freedom. That HAS occurred. The Arizona law was a reaction, and not a bolt out of the blue.

I agree with everything you said. It’s outrageous that we are experiencing the tyranny of a minority.

In other words if you own a tattoo parlor and a homo comes in and say I want you to write BJ's are cool on both arms you don't have to do it? What about the Mexicon who comes in and wants Reconquista gringo written on his chest? Do you have to do that one? Justa a little clarification here....

“The logic means that any artist can be coerced...” Perhaps it means that ANYONE can be coerced. How many objecting obstetricians will be forced to do abortions? How many employers will be forced to hire ex-cons? How many clerics will be forced to teach Darwin?

Yes. Exactly. You don’t have to write what you do not want. Suppose he wanted a picture—as detailed as possible—of a guy giving a guy a BJ? Can a judge compel you to do pornography?

The whole thing being taken to a judge as a civil matter is preposterous!

All valid points and exactly what’s happening as the government takes over our lives.

I really wonder what’s going to have to happen to reverse this situation, as I’m sure you do too.

Targeting Sunday show advertisers is a waist of time. The people who advertise on Sunday shows are supporting the Shows in order to solicit the Politicians, begging them for Federal money to support/subsidize their business (GE, ADM, etc).

Also where else can the LEFT WING Commies go and get so much money to propagandize for the enactment of Commie Tyranny?

Rush covered this topic last week

Pat, the law says nothing about homosexuals. Here is the text of the two page bill, which amends an existing law

IMO the issue is how far the state can go to force you to violate your religious beliefs. The gay agenda seems to trump everything. Should a minister be forced to marry a gay couple? Should Catholic institutions be forced to provide abortion services as part of its health care plans?

Recently, the CVS chain announced it would no longer sell cigarettes--a legal product--because it felt that the damage to the buyer's health violated what CVS believed its services should provide. Obama and the liberals applauded CVS. Yet, when some pharmacists said they would not dispense birth control pills, they were lambasted,

We will see how the Little Sisters of the Poor fare with SCOTUS.

Limited G’ment - This also mean NO TSA. Vote for Limited G’ment or vote for Large G’ment by someone. Today it the the Rats tomorrow it will be the RINOs.

If it is big g’ment, it make absolutely NO DIFFERENCE who runs it.
