Gov. Nathan Deal said the uproar in North Carolina and Mississippi over new laws that critics say curb gay rights should give supporters of the “religious liberty” measure in Georgia second thoughts, and warned that he’s willing to pull out the veto pen again next year if similar legislation lands on his desk.

In his first interview since his veto two weeks ago of House Bill 757, Deal said Tuesday he’s concerned religious conservatives who plan to revive the measure next year will put Georgia through another contentious debate.

“I don’t want to go through the same process all over again. I’ve made my position very clear. I tried to write a very thoughtful veto message,” he said. “It expressed my concerns and it expressed my reasons for vetoing it. And those reasons won’t change in my mind.”...

They are demanding nonexistent “rights” when what they are really demanding is special privileges.

Raw Deal is a corrupt, spineless, weasel.

If someone builds a separate accommodation for LBTQFAG, they will scream segregation.

Nathan Deal is a former Democrat who changed parties because its easier to run for office in GA as a Republican. He is a card carrying, natural born RINO who is arguably the biggest federal dollar Hoe in existence.

There are enough votes to override Bad Deal’s veto in the Senate but its iffy in the House from what I have heard. I only hope they send the bill back up to him next year with a better majority in the House to override him.

The head barber at the shop I go to has an original Lester Maddox toothpick propped up in a corner behind his chair.
