Malloy is a hypocrite and liar. But that’s nothing new for a scumbag Democrat.

The unbelievable ignorance of those on the Left that don't understand what this law is about is mind-boggling!

...of course there are still a few room temperature IQ people that think Obamacare is a good idea.

It’s not discriminatory to Gays ... NOT HAVING THE LAW is discriminatory towards Christians and their deeply-held 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!

A private business should have the right to refuse to do business with anyone, for any reason.

Let the marketplace decide. If a business wants to turn a way business, that’s their decision. That’s money they won’t make. And if someone wants to boycott them, fine. That’s free speech.

I dont know the formal name of that law, but the religious freedom restoration act?
The one Indiana and Arkansas were trying to implement?
It was supposed to PROTECT Christians, not brand us a TARGETS!

Religious freedom aside (in which there is no mention of homosexual discrimination), when did we lose the premise that homosexual behavior is a deviant lifestyle? Really; it is a deathstyle!

Even without these religious freedom laws; we should have the right to discriminate against any deviant lifestyle. Don't people non-violently discriminate against pansexuallity, polyamory, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.? Non-violent discrimination against deviant lifestyles is a good thing!

Nobody is born being homosexual; it has never been scientifically proven. In fact, just the opposite is true – IT IS A CHOICE! We have not only lost this premise, now people believe the premise that bisexuality is OK. Soon, we will lose the premise on polysexuallity, polyamory, bestiality, pedophilia, etc.

Frankly, IMO, we started to lose the premise that discrimination against indecent behavior was good when Americans began to accept sexuality outside the bond of a monogamous heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman for life.

I notice one thing that is happening -— Democrats ( O’Malley, de Blasio, Hillary, the MSM, Tim Cook, Walmart, etc. ) are all tag teaming to attack RFRA on one side.

On the other side, I don’t see ANY UNITED FRONT from Christians, Conservatives and Republicans defending the law.

How do you expect to win the fight when you allow the other side to throw all the kicks and punches and you simply try to duck for cover?

Or is it the case that you’ve surrendered already?

Where is the Daniel who will dare to stand for what is right in the face of danger?

If a bar refuses to serve a drunk — is the bar owner a bigot?

If a daycare refuses to hire a child molester — is the daycare owner a bigot?

If a preacher refuses to officiate over a three person wedding — is the preacher a bigot?

Soros' talking points to the DNC outstrips US laws...

I just don't understand why people in positions of authority and power are so unwilling, so unable to take on the tiny minority of the population homosexuals make up (and only a fraction of that are the tyrannical "homosexual activists")?

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?

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.
