AND ... Obama thinks it’s perfectly normal to run Christian businesses “out of business” or FORCE the owners to do business AGAINST their deeply-held religious convictions!!
Well, to tell you what I’ve thought about this legislation, all along, is that it’s the “gay issue” that brought it out ... BUT ... it’s not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...

To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the “gay issue” is driving the discussion, but to me, that “gay issue” seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing “Christian Conscience” in business is about.
Unless I’m mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the “conscience” of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that “religious conscience” by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the “Christian’s conscience”!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christian’s conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an “after church Pizza gathering” some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as I’m concerned Mormons shouldn’t get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesn’t appear to be a “gay issue” but a VERY REAL “Religious Conscience” issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
Too bad the left considers the Christians to be a big death cult, eh?
The bill does not specifically address “Christian conscience,” but “religious conscience.”
Obama’s mother was Muslim. Hell she married two Muslim men.
You know, I think that private individuals ought to be able to decide on their own, without government interference, who they do business with and who they choose not to do business with.
Of course, this went out the window due to our justifiable national intent to end discrimination based on race.
The problem is that managerial government can’t ever stop expanding its reach and power over free individuals. Once the door was opened, it was opened to ending discrimination based on personal appearance, cleanliness and smell.
Sexual deviancy is small beans, since most business owners can’t discern this unless the potential customer exposes it in some way, like same-sex smooching in the donut shop - perhaps to put the business owner into a trap.
If I were a baker I’d refuse to make a phallus-shaped cake for anyone, gay or not, and therefore could not be discriminating against gays. But that won’t fly with today’s courts which are more concerned with protecting their mascot classes than with the equitable application of the law.
We have come to the point where we need a revolution in this country. A revolution of the sane to end government by the insane.
