Has John Kasich blown his Christian cred? Kasich has built some of his following on his reputation as a sincere (if somewhat offbeat) Christian conservative. In November, for example, he called for a new government agency to promote "Judeo-Christian values." But tonight, when presented with a question about religious liberty, Kasich seemed to advance a rather different set of priorities.

While Kasich defended the right of religious institutions to practice their faiths however they please, he seemed to argue that people "in the business of commerce" should "conduct commerce, and if you don’t agree with [customers], say a prayer for them when they leave."
Needless to say, Kasich's position has received some criticism.
With every word, Kasich is demonstrating that he knows nothing about the legal position of the Christian bakers/florists. -- David French (@DavidAFrench) February 26, 2016
Kasich shows his complete misunderstanding of faith in his failure to defend religious liberty. #MadetoCare -- Bill Blankschaen (@BillintheBlank) February 26, 2016

Of course, his reasoning will be endless ... what about those who sleep around? Read porn? etc.
It’s called “free association”’ Johnny. You might want to look into it.

Nobody has refused to service to any individual. What they have refused is participating in an event they don’t agree with and find sinful. By Kasich’s logic, Christian photographers should be forced to shoot pornography and Christian doctors and nurses should be forced to do abortions as well.
Status Quo Kasich is like a feather flowing in the wind.
If a flaming Christian Revival hit our nation with millions repenting and coming to Christ, he’d denounce his previous statements and go with that flow also.
Since the winds are feeding the other direction, he goes along with them.
Based on the elections of the last couple of decades, I’ve pretty much cemented my conclusion that anyone elected Governor of Ohio has to be one real skeezy, scheming politician. I am truly ashamed I ever even thought well of this man back in the Contract with America days and its aftermath.
Kasich can go choke to death.
I’d personally hand over any and every bastard that helped push faggot-marriage onto this country to an ISIS headchopper, if I had my way.
By Kasich's reasoning, it would be okay for doctors to perform abortions as long as they prayed for the souls of those who got one. And to force employers to provide birth control in insurance policies as long as they said a rosary.
It's fun that folks are seeing what we OH folks have to put up with from this fake conservative.
In one of the first debates he spoke about attending a gay wedding. Like Christie, he strikes me as wanting to please the intelligentsia/supposedly sophisticated, too much.
Kasich miscalculated and revealed his homo loving soul too early.
Very well and succinctly stated! Your examples are spot-on! I will now use them verbatim and represent them as sourced from my own wisdom!!LOL
The next time a liberal tells you it’s settled law, tell them this: There once was a time in this country when slavery was settled law....that didn’t make it right.
Another Big Government Agency. That blew his creds right there.
In November, for example, he called for a new government agency to promote "Judeo-Christian values." ...No, that is the opposite of American Christian values to do something of the sort.
Big screw up by Kasich. The baker was not denying life-saving services. They were trying to force him to bake a cake he did not want to bake. Any number of other bakers would have made it. It was an evil set up to destroy a Christian baker.
Liberals are fond of using the canard that non-legalized gay marriage is analogous to non-legalized interracial marriage, too. Which makes that approach on their part quite racist.
Anyone really listening knew he had no creds to begin with.
Exactly. The bakeries weren’t refusing to sell a cupcake to gays as Kasich suggests, they just refused to bake a wedding cake for them.
RE: The next time a liberal tells you it’s settled law, te
SETTLED LAW?
What is the name of the Federal Law legalizing gay marriage? Is there a name to it like the Affordable Care Act? I seem to have missed it ...
But, but his father carried mail on his back!
He blew his “Christian cred” (whatever that is) when he told Christians that Jesus would want them to support Obamacare and Welfare expansion.
