Why The Assault On Religious Liberty?
The American founders believed religious freedom so essential to the forming of our Republic that they incorporated it into our First Amendment.
However in today's political climate and ensuing cultural divisions religious liberty/freedom is under constant attack. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) or similar bills incorporated into RFRA have been challenged in Georgia. North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri not to forget the number of assaults committed by the Obama Administration. Those opposing religious freedoms/liberty have mounted massive boycott campaigns in these states and have included threats to various corporations to support their demands or face economic retribution These radicals have enlisted the help of celebrities the liberal media and left leaning corporate leaders to peddle misinformed and misleading propaganda. Yet these very same people promote diversity and inclusion except for people of faith. The founders understood that religious liberty was essential because all other freedoms flowed from it as intended by God. If Americans do not fight for the right of religious freedom then we will fall into a secular state and a secular state dictates that rights flow from the state and thus we will be governed by men and not by the rule of law. Anyone not understanding this or placing their selfish needs above this concept sow the seeds of America's destruction. Personal Best Regards: |
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
"The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" which the Declaration says has been given to all human beings by their Creator, and for which governments are created to protect." Of the 3, I think the Pursuit of Happiness is most in jeopardy. I think the middle class is not worried about anyone taking away their freedom to worship. They just want to make a decent living and have a chance of pursuing the American dream like their parents and grandparents. |
If you're religious, you've been brainwashed. I mean really, God watches over everything and knows everything...about us? Really?
If anything, we're his dissertation on infectious lifeforms on otherwise pristine planets. |

Religious liberty to libtards means to be liberated from any form of religion that might hamper their deviant lifestyle. They know that they can't be liberal and religious. That would definitely put a stop to their fun, as they know it. The only charity they believe in is take from those that have and give it to those that don't have, as long as they are not included in the taking away part.

I clearly understand this amendment but I also understand how it can be misunderstood. I am going to use the Private Country example. For many years women, such as myself, were NOT allowed to be a primary member of a Country Club and they were NOT allowed to get a tee time on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. As membership fell over the years Country Clubs looked for other streams of income. So they opened these clubs for public uses for a fee. Think weddings. Had they remained a PRIVATE club nothing could be done to change the rules. Think Augusta! However, once they opened their doors to accommodate the PUBLIC they were required to treat everyone the same. So that is how I a single women got a primary membership in a country club. This, of course, went through the court system. If you are an establishment open to the public you also have to treat everyone the same. You can't say you won't bake a cake for a gay person or a black person or a Muslim. In my opinion, if these laws go though the Courts they will be struct down. This is NOT an assault on your religion, if you don't want to bake cakes for a protected class then don't be a PUBLIC company. |

And I wonder if they truly meant everyone was created equally would we have skipped the civil war, spared lives or needed to rebuild the nation. By now our society would be completely homogeneous too. What do you think? [anyone can answer] |

I don't think they did. I'm not sure they were speaking for women either. And I wonder if they truly meant everyone was created equally would we have skipped the civil war, spared lives or needed to rebuild the nation. By now our society would be completely homogeneous too. What do you think? [anyone can answer] We are in agreement. You missed that point. |

Equality is nothing more than another platform for select special interest and minority groups to have a political position that of course it immediately picked up and amplified by the politicians and their lemming media.

I say if you want to be equal to what I have you make the same peronal sacrifices and efforts to get there.
You want it handed to you by making it a political, media side show.....stay where you are....you have what you have (earned). |

"We have lost the South for a generation!" It has been much longer than that..... The long goodbye | The Economist |
In 1952 and 1956, a majority of blacks backed the Republican Party. The Democratic domination of the African American vote really did not begin until 1960, when Kennedy dramatically called Coretta Scott King, the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, after her husband was sent to prison in Georgia. On Election Day, blacks showed their appreciation by voting for Kennedy by a margin of 70-30, more than enough to give the Democrat the victory over Richard Nixon.
In 1964, the black preference for the Democrats became a landslide, as president Lyndon Johnson rallied a grieving nation after Kennedy's assassination to demand passage of the strong civil rights bill JFK had proposed during his last year in office. Backed by a national outcry, Johnson jammed through the far-reaching legislation, which ended discrimination against blacks in virtually every area of national life. Ironically, it was only with strong Republican support that the bill was able to pass. Source: Condi vs. Hillary, by Dick Morris, p. 56-57 , Oct 11, 2005 |
And yet, the Democrats voted against every civil rights bill for two centuries.

I think this thread has gotten off topic.....
So to return the Gov of North Carolina is trying amend the bill and the Gov of Louisiana is rescinding Bobby Jindal's Religious Freedom Law. Gov. John Bel Edwards to Rescind Bobby Jindal's Horrific Anti-Gay 'Religious Freedom' Order - The New Civil Rights Movement I really don't think supporters of these bill understand the concept of public accommodation. If you don't want to bake a cake for a gay couple open a private bakery. |

And this is not JUST related to bakeries. It has to do with allowing cross dressing perverts into opposite gender restrooms. If gays want to boycott those states that want to accommodate the majority view, then I say "adios amigas." And don't let the speed limit hinder you when passing through the state. |

Why should you have the "right" to choose, but they don't? Afraid you'd be left out in the cold? If nobody wants to do business with you, it's probably you that needs changing. |
