This has got to be the most misunderstood law to ever come down the pipe. Whether it's being intentionally misunderstood or not appears to be the question.
Angie's List still says they don't like it. People are starting to think they are using this as an excuse to back out of their expansion plans.
Religion + Politics = Disaster. Pretty simple really.
This has got to be the most misunderstood law to ever come down the pipe. Whether it's being intentionally misunderstood or not appears to be the question.
So what part is misunderstood?

It doesn't "legalize" discrimination. How's that for an example?
I guess if you announce something on a big enough and loud enough megaphone it's going to carry a lot of clout and take hold, fiction or not. .
Then why are they amending it to state exactly that - that it can't be used to discriminate?
Shit I'm gonna come out against this, go on TV and start my own GoFundMe account.

What don't you understand?
This whine is just as comical as the first time you made it years ago. Democrats are everything that is wrong with America, Republicans are the embodiment of human perfection. SSDD.
Your words, not mine.
Alright then.
What exactly should Governor Pence have known before he signed this bill? The rightwingoverse has made it a mantra talking point that the Indiana law exactly mirrors the Federal RFCA (it doesn't) and all the other State RFCAs (it doesn't)...so, did Pence make a mistake by just signing the law, or by signing this particular law?
Are you saying that there is nothing at all wrong with the Indiana law in its current state?
If adding new laws to the books goes towards the heart of the matter as far as the damage that liberals do and the danger of liberal thinking (most definitely your words) then why is this new law a good thing?
1.
2. Pence should have known the firestorm that would result. That it would be used against his party to further the myth that all Republicans are bigoted wacked out holy roller homophobes. The original RFCA was submitted by Chuck Schumer and signed by Bill Clinton. I wouldn't expect the Left to get in much of an uproar over that.
3. Let's put it this way. I'm much more concerned about a law that shuts a business down and fines them $375,000 a day because the EPA designated a drainage ditch running along the back of the property as a wetland area. Or Gibson guitars being dragged through the legal process, held and at gunpoint while inventory was seized, because they used the wrong wood. Or a 9 year old girl getting her lemonade stand on the side of the road shut down for not having the proper permits. Or somebody sitting in jail for five years because they got caught with a marijuana cigarette. The list goes on....
4. I haven't really judged the law as being good or bad. I'll let others make that determination.
1. I'll never believe you don't feel that way about Republicans and Democrats.

From what I read there business was floundering before they made the statement and they make crappy pizza.
Now they get rewarded for being small minded, judgmental, discriminatory, homophobic, hate merchants.
hate merchants.
But the death threats they got must have come from the loving tolerant left

Perhaps you are forgetting that the political and social climate was very different 22 years ago. But that aside, the Federal RFRA law is different from Indiana's versions in several important ways, and not nearly as broad in its definitions and remedies. Feel free to look it up.

That's awful about that pizza place, IMO. That lady should have never gone on camera.

To prevent further misinterpretation.
This week the restaurant made national news when owner Crystal O’Connor said the restaurant would deny catering services if a gay couple asked the pizzeria to provide pizzas for their wedding.
How out of touch are these pizza shop owners......to think that a gay couple would have a low-end menu item like pizza served at their wedding. No self-respecting homosexual would ever have such poor taste.

Nothing I can do about that. Apparently you cherry pick which of my posts to read. Read some, skip some. For instance, many of them are openly critical of the government at large without mentioning a party by name. It's the whole enchilada.
Other times I have been openly critical of the GOP as whole, as well as individual members of the party. Republican human perfection my @ss. They're far from what I hope they should be.

Thanks for the link, Brother Billy. I went to that site & was able to book a luxury hotel in Hong Kong at a rate much cheaper than Expedia & Priceline.

hawk,
The takeaway from the above post by alloak is summed up in his one sentence, "It's the whole enchilada."
Bottom line - you now have a choice of enchiladas or pizza. There are always good choices in the WP.

You have never criticized any Republican who is currently in office. Your criticism of government at large is often of the old "they all suck" variety which is not really any criticism at all. And, when shown evidence that you are wrong, you double down on yor position. The Hillary Clinton thread is proof of that.

It's disgusting that so many bigots would give money to a bunch of like minded homophobes.
Calling people bigots, making fun of them, making death threats, threats to destroy property, and the like are NOT the way to win folks over to your side and think like you do.
The pizza restaurant has raised almost 320,000 dollars.
amazing
damn straight she better give that money to............someone other than herself. lol is she the next palin/bachman/angle as far as tv goes? maybe she'll use it to run for office.

Freedom sells, and it sells big.
More power to 'em for raising that money. Democracy at work.
I wouldn't say it sells "big". After taxes, that's 2 years salary probably.
Freedom sells, and it sells big.
That's freedom? Discrimination? Homophobia? Hatred?
That's your idea of freedom?
I find your exaltation repulsive.

They raised as much in one day as a years worth of sales.
