It is truly sad to see that the left in this country doesn't give a damn about the First Amendment...
So boycotts violate the First Amendment? Are you sure about that?


That's not what I wrote, but boycotts are a form of discrimination. Some people claim to be against all discrimination while they themselves are actively promoting and participating it. That must mean that some forms of discrimination are good.

RFRA's are in place to protect the First Amendment rights of all people. The reaction to the Indiana RFRA is a hysterical assault on First Amendment rights being fueled by anti-Christian bigots. That form of discrimination is not good.

Does Forkie believe that only certain folks have rights and who is the arbiter of who's thoughts are protected and who's thoughts are not protected?

People can think whatever they like. However, there are consequences for selecting bigoted people to run government. The people of Indiana are going to feel those consequences for years to come. We have proven ourselves to be more backward than Arkansas and Georgia.

Purdue University was founded in 1869. It was originally intended as an industrial college, dedicated to training workers in the industrial arts of the day: lifting things, carrying them to and fro, wiping, activities of that nature.

Amazingly, Purdue did not grant Bachelor of Arts degrees until 1960. "Why bother?", they likely thought, as the Enlightenment had ended just a brief 200 years prior. Who could know if that fancy European way of thinking would catch on? Besides, those boilers weren't going to make themselves.



Within its College of Liberal Arts, Purdue has what it calls a "Department of English". The department is housed in this handsome building.



This department is said to employ some 60 faculty members. What they do all day is unclear.

Can a landlord in Indiana refuse to rent an apartment to a person he thinks is queer?

Oh and there is video of it too:

And as been repeated more than once the Indiana law is nothing like the Federal Law or the laws of any other state excepting Mississippi. All those other jurisdictions consider sexual preference a protected class and none of those other laws apply to corporations. Indiana's law takes the language from Hobby Lobby and says that for profit corporations can have religious beliefs that allow them to discriminate.

Which molehill? Please be specific.



So Forkie is suggesting next Indiana will be hanging blacks, making certain areas white only, making those people of any color other than white sit at the back of the bus, and call all whites masser?...
Nope. Just that businesses will be able to discriminate against citizens, just like in the photo above.

Obviously, the federal RFRA does not allow that kind of evil behavior. People who tell you that the federal and Indiana laws are the same just because they have the same name are playing you for a fool, Boilerman. Very, very successfully.


So Forkie forgets that it is agaisnt Federal Law to discriminate against color, sex, or sexual orientation?

You really need to get that lobotomy....

And if you're gay and a foreign policy expert, good luck keeping your job working for Republicans. What a swell bunch of people.

Can a landlord anywhere refuse to rent an apartment to anyone?
