Writer Ana Marie Cox argued that “you’re going to have to force people to do things they don’t want to do” in a discussion on Indiana’s RFRA law on Saturday’s “Up with Steve Kornacki” on MSNBC.

“I think it’s important for the context of the discussion of the Indiana law to say that it was in part passed in response to what happened in new mexico to try and change the ability of people to — not have to do these kinds of things. I guess I want to — I don’t think they’re reconcilable [preventing discrimination and religious liberty]. I do think you’re going to have to force people to do things they don’t want to do. That’s sometimes what happens in a democratic society” Cox stated.

She attended University of Chicago (think Bill Ayers)

You're close ... but iirc, Ayers is associated with University of Illinois, not U of C.

True that Ayers lives in the U of C neighborhood however. And true also, sadly, that the traditionally more conservative U of C has lurched far to the left over the last few decades.

You are the only person I have ever seen to use the word grok in a sentence. I think the word ‘grok’ comes from one of Robert A. Heinlein’s books. Am I right?

And so she comes up with the justification for slavery.

"I do think you’re going to have to force people to do things they don’t want to do."

Totalitarian conformist collectives, whether religious or ideological, always boil things down to force ... thru the barrel of a gun, gas chambers, starvation, throwing off the roof of a building, stoning, whatever ... I think this is why the progressive left isn't in an outrage about Islam ... they actually admire the fervor of throwing "transgressors" off buildings .... with a bit more programming, the SJWs that marched on the fraternity at UVA, having pronounced those boys guilty in mob court, would be happy to throw the "privileged" off buildings.

sort of continues along the lines of thought of Cass Sunstein and the elitist patronizing view of “nudging people” toward correct decisions.

Does one really believe that one can reason with people like this? Does one really believe that one can change their beliefs?

With a brickbat upside the head!

So we can force this woman to shut up and go away?

[Billthedrill]

I do think you’re going to have to force people to do things they don’t want to do.

Translation: I'm going to force people to do things I want them to do. Let's not pretend the "you" is neutral. Ana is a fascist.

Leftist Fascists strike again.
