The SB 101 (Religious Freedom Restoration) Thread

[Roadie]

Will all of those boycotting us actually avoid all the other states with RFRAs,or will they be hypocrites?

Why are we being singled out like we are the only state that has this?

 

[Marcinko]

Kudos to Mike Pence and the good folks in Indiana! For those who don't like it, Californi is the place you wanna be so load up the truck and hit the road.

Liberal heads are exploding all over, especially on Facebook. Supporters of the law, or those indifferent to it, haven't said a word. Those opposed have been spewing vitriol and vow to boycott Indiana. It's interesting and dismaying to see how some of my real friends have reacted strongly and denigrate those with religious beliefs. Name calling doesn't bother me much anymore but I'm waiting to be "un-friended" over this.

I support this law and look forward to when those crying "bigot!" find that Hoosiers of all orientations will be able to live life unaffected.

Already have, but Its the internet doesn't break me heart one bit.

Only because they thought enough yelling would stop Pence to sign it. They know it won't really affect anything, but they don't want to even give the perception of losing ground.

conservatism will always decay toward liberalism unless constantly fought for.

So far I been unfriended by a few people for a few reasons, one was because I support the right to carry in public and the other because I don't support a minimum wage increase (I actually got blocked by the later person without a warning). Whatever, if you want to be friends with someone, be warned you won't agree with them all the time and should be able to tolerate that they don't agree with you.

I think it's simply some organizational activism that spread on social media. It worked in Arizona so they thought it would work here.

I don't even support the law; I'm just frustrated with people's herd-like behavior.

Hillary just said this:

@HillaryClinton: Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today.


Odd, she suddenly cares about laws?

Why are religious convictions afforded elevated status over non-religiously derived convictions?

 

[DRob]

This bill is no more about religious freedom than the so-called right to work bill was about a person's right to work! It's about the right of a business to do business with whom they please....or not.

Funny thing is that her husband enacted the Federal one.

Yet those who unfriend or block you want you to ACCEPT their views without question or being shown why their idea is wrong. Those people can't TOLERATE anyone with opposing views.

The irony is beyond painful!

Because WE are BETTER than everybody else.






No reason to even bring religion into it.......even if it's true....

Go on, pull the other one!!

Even Hillary can't be that oblivious.

I am so despising the ruling class and what they're doing to our country...

 

[hoosierdoc]

They're not, they're held on equal footing. If two equal forces go up against each other, they cancel out and no foul. this law specifically protects a constitutionally delineated natural right.

Just wait for a customer to walk into a T Shirt place owned by "gay" people and demand they print off a dozen "God Hates Fags" T shirts. They should rightfully tell the buyer to go to hell and not come back. We'll see where the sellout point is...$100 a shirt? $150 a shirt? $1000 a shirt?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

There's a boycottindiana hash trending right now.

 

[longbarrel]

This is stupid. Can't believe that iNGOer's support this bill. Can't believe that my tax dollars were spent on this bill. Hope that Lilly, Allison transmissions, IU health, Anthem, Chase, Rolls Royce, Cummings, CIB, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and all of the other large employers, use their money, to get rid of our current legislators. Fix the roads, schools, and infastructure. After all, we all pay an extra $25 for every registered vehicle we have for road work. Our roads outside of the interstates are some of the worst in the country.

You are wrong. I don't like it, but love living in Indiana. Wouldn't live in Cali if you bought my house for me. Don't think the good folks actually think this is a good law. The good folks aren't the ones who enacted this law.

 

[bwframe]

... Don't think the good folks actually think this is a good law. The good folks aren't the ones who enacted this law.

The majority of our state legislature, the governor and, I'd venture to say, the majority posting in this thread are bad people then?
