Progressive == Repressive == Oppressive
I understand all that. You’re right.
We laugh at Liberals. They would Imprison us if they could.
And they’d smirk at us as they loaded us into the cattle cars.
But a lot of them would get terminal lead poisoning first.
Well Said
Since it never was, it cannot logically be “over”.
Progressive == Repressive == Oppressive
Right on!
You know they’re besides themselves because most of us are armed.
Adroitly stated.
You’re just saying that because it’s true...
Right on.
Only operative clause of Indiana Law (which was bill SB101):
"no governmental entity may substantially burden a person's exercise of religion"
Exactly what is the LGBT lobby protesting again?
Yup, and I would say we are somewhere in the 900's. Not much left before it will be time for a new game plan.

I agree on both points.
We don’t have much blood left.
I am 64 and probably won’t be around in 20 years but am scared to death for my grandchildren.
“Now, since the family and human society at large spring from marriage, these men will on no account allow matrimony to be the subject of the jurisdiction of the Church. Nay, they endeavor to deprive it of all holiness, and so bring it within the contracted sphere of those rights which, having been instituted by man, are ruled and administered by the civil jurisprudence of the community. Wherefore it necessarily follows that they attribute all power over marriage to civil rulers, and allow none whatever to the Church; and, when the Church exercises any such power, they think that she acts either by favor of the civil authority or to its injury. Now is the time, they say, for the heads of the State to vindicate their rights unflinchingly, and to do their best to settle all that relates to marriage according as to them seems good.”
—Pope Leo XIII, 1880
All marriage has ever been to the state in the modern era is simply whatever judges, pols, or the voting majority think it is at any one time.

I reject the entire premise that democrats “tolerate” or choose to stomach my free exercise of religion. When I exercise a God-given right it isn't at the sufferance of the Left. I don't care if they don't like it.
We don't need permission or forbearance to exercise religious freedom anymore than to exercise freedom of speech and press.
By acknowledging their premise, that they endure religion even though it p!sses them off, we are setting ourselves up fast for similar treatment of our other rights.
Allowing them the power to tolerate or not religious freedom is to open a door to consideration of tolerating our other rights, like speech and press here at FreeRepublic.
The Left are pros at building on their past outrages. Give them an inch here and they are sure to further assault and shut down the voice of conservatives.
The thing to remember about all these modern “rights” groups is that no matter how much they use the word “equal” they don’t really mean it. They don’t want to be regarded as equal with their supposed oppressors; They want to be regarded as better than their supposed oppressors. They want to be given special treatment in all situations and they want it entered into law that they will be treated with deference from now onward.
Modern radical feminists are actually female supremacists. They believe they are better than men and that men deserve to be punished collectively for their past transgressions against women.
Modern radical gay rights activists are actually homosexual supremacists.They believe they are better than Christians and that Christians deserve to be punished collectively for their past transgressions against homosexuals.
Modern radical [insert minority] activists are actually [insert minority] supremacists. They believe they are better than whites and that whites deserve to be punished collectively for their past transgressions against [insert minority].
Is it time for a skin-head convention in San Francisco to have gay florist and bakers and chefs provide the decor and foods?
If I were in the service business and did not want to provide the service to a customer, bid very high, and if you get the job, cut corners to make sure they did not get their money’s worth.
Payment in advance of course.
For now, for the time being.
Simply to be able to “oppress” others in turn.
Are you sure about that it is a disservice to religious freedom to use the word “tolerant” in that the left use it to frame the debate?
Rather it is a “claim” on the part of the mob to be at 51%. Good for inflating numbers.
