Various politician from around the country get together to see how best to sanction Indiana.
NYC Mayor DeBlasio is indignant
Connecticut Governor Malloy is riled.

Connecticut's governor is blasting the governor of Indiana for signing the state's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act, calling it discriminatory against the gay community and asking for its repeal.
The Indiana measure, which Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) signed last week, prohibits state laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and associations.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday that the law is covering "outright bigotry" in Indiana.
"The reality is, the governor is not a stupid man, but he’s done stupid things. And signing this law and, quite frankly, promoting this law, knowing exactly what it was going to do, was an incredibly stupid thing for him to do," Malloy told MSNBC. "But even there, if you get the picture from who was around him when he signed this bill, there were three homophobic men standing alongside the governor. One of them who equated being gay with bestiality. That’s who he invited to the signing ceremony. He knew exactly what he was doing, and when you see a bigot you have to call him on it."
"When it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it is a duck. And they knew what they were doing. What they were doing was making it legal for people who were deciding they weren’t going to serve gay men and women," he added.
Socially conservative groups accused Malloy of not understanding that Connecticut also has a freedom of religion statute, similar to what was enacted in Indiana.

Gov. Malloy is an outright liar.
Really, it seems like it’s Christian-Conservatives versus Everyone-Who-Isn’t-Christian-Conservatives these days.
There are the queers, their manipulated families, other pervs with ulterior motives, academia, entertainment, the news media, the Chamber of Commerce, demented Democrats, squishy Republicans, and now - the 500-ton behemoth - Corporate Amerika.
It’s amazing how something was so common-sense ten years ago, and now it’s considered bigotry. My sense is that the government is driving this behind the scenes. This has all been too convenient, too coordinated.
Thankfully - we have God on our side. No matter how discouraged, I am comforted in knowing that His Truth will win.
Are they intimidated -- in a significant number of instances they appear outright scared -- by the bullying and screeching and threats made by members of the homosexual cult?
Are they not committed to their principles? Do they not know how to defend themselves and their principles against the neverending complaints and demands of two percent of the population? Do they not know that if you stand-up to these professional victims you'll either prevail or you'll send them off in tears (if they dare to debate you) or, most often, you'll throw them into an uncontrolled rage -- well, "hissy fit" is more suitable for this subject -- which does not advance their "cause" and is at the very least entertaining.
I just don't get it. Although homosexuals have the support of Democrat-Socialists and they have the media covering their -- well -- tails, they are only two percent of the population, albeit a very loud, tiny minority. So why is everyone so very afraid of them -- so afraid of offending them?
Please explain this to me.
The leftists are certainly intolerant and bigoted against Christians and conservatives. Where is the outrage against that? instead of being on the defensive why are not more people expressing anger for how how Christians are being forced to cater to ceremonies they find offensive?
This law is badly needed because of bigot gay people who are sueing christians for refusing to wedding bake cake. In New York, a Christian was sued and lost $13k because he refused to allow his house, where he actually live in be host to a gay wedding
Malloy is a liar.
I’d feed a pro-choice conference before decorating a cake in honor of a homo pseudo wedding. It’s simple bible.
Of course.
We have Iran building nuclear weapons as fast as they can while laughing at our Secretary Of State. Our economy is in the toilet. Unemployment is sky high.
The Democrats are fainting because someone doesn’t want to be forced to be part of a homosexual ritual.
They got to look relevant even if it means throwing a transparent national hissy fit and getting a lot of fools to go along.
And THAT should be the “choice” of each and every Christian businessman (or woman) for themselves, according to their own personal religious convictions!
As always, follow the money. Craven cowardly politicians fear the cessation of money flow from queers taking their business elsewhere, as well as a backlash from the fat cats whose $$$$$ keeps them getting reelected....
It’s the fuzzing away of actual biblical norms that makes this more difficult to sell than it ought to be.
We would know that the people who defy Jesus’ dictum to provide your enemy with something that is not sinful, would muddy the waters.
I disagree. But one thing I know from living in CT during part of Malloy's reign of terror, Dannel (guess his folks couldn't spell "Daniel") is one of the most moronic people to ever hold public office. He can't say two words without putting an extended "..uhhhhh" between them.
Mrs. Thorne would change the channel on the TV whenever he appeared because his inability to speak coherently drove her crazy.
Malloy is Connecticut’s answer to the No. Korean dictators.
He is Kim Dan Mentally Ill Malloy, the top Democrat nut in the state. Even looks a little like Junior Mentally Ill.
Once a great state. Now a Marxist shithole but Rhode Island and Vermont are giving it real competition for the lead.
Read my tagline.
Yep. Not only that, it's self determination.
Then I would listen to your BS...
Yes...
