Please!

The religious right is a source of never-ending amusement. The way they've taken over the GOP and led the "mainstream" around like a hog with a nose ring is entertaining beyond anything political in decades.

Go teabaggers!

This is the same Fox that pulled Harry Reid's 2.5 year old alleged lie about Romney's taxes out of their butt in an attempt to distract viewers from the mess in Indiana. Given Romney declined to disclose returns for 2009 ( tax amnesty year) and earlier, the public will never know. It no longer matters.

According to the Indiana Governor, the intention was not to discriminate. The legislation was quickly changed to make the language more consistent with the intent.

It does not go far enough for some and went too far for others. A win- win or lose- lose? Arkansas saw the slippery slope and learned from the experience.

It's over.

Hillary's email debacle is what it is.
CNN broke the Harry Reid story. Sloppy posting or lies? I've already judged.

Oh. Well, if TAMMY BRUCE says it, it must be true.

Thank you, OP, for letting us know what the ONE TRUE VOICE has to say about this issue.

Indiana didn't cave as you said, the legislature clarified the language so even you people could understand it.
Indiana caved big time. This is a huge victory for the gay/left propaganda machine. Not only did Indiana amend the RFRA, they added a statewide law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, something they'd not have done without the furor.

Looking ahead, this victory will make it much harder to pass RFRA's elsewhere, and put momentum on the side of passing sexual orientation anti-discrimination laws.

Tammy Bruce will say anything to get attention and stay relevant to Fox viewers. When she was a raging leftist feminist, she said some pretty ridiculous things too.

Right, because the Fox News viewers and bigots that support these discriminatory laws didn't already hate them to begin with.

Notice what one liberal commenter after another has in common? None of them seem to be able to address the substance of what Tammy Bruce says. She's absolutely right. Gays should be natural proponents of individual liberty, limited government, and protection from tyranny of the majority. And individual liberty includes the First Amendment, and the free exercise of religion.

They are selling out long term individual liberty for short term gain, e.g. the ability to force some rural pizza joint to cater a non-existent gay wedding.

We have been through eras in our history where people were jailed for distributing anti-war pamphlets (Schenk case) leaving freedom of speech null and void. It took the ACLU a half century to get those rights back. Until the Heller decision in 2008, the First Amendment was largely null and void. Liberals for years claimed that it applied only to the National Guard. Now it appears religious freedom is on the chopping block.

1815: "I got me a god-given right to own slaves. Bible sez so!"

1915: "I got me a god-given right to refuse service to blacks. Bible sez so!"

2015: "I got me a god-given right to refuse service to gays. Bible sez so!"

Maybe it's just me, but I think there's a pattern here.

She has her toe on the religious right line.

If it makes you feel better.

You do realize that Tammy Bruce is gay don't you? I think that is the point of citing her in this thread.
