The Left wages total war; and then plays victim

On one side is the CEO of the world's largest company, the president of the United States and a growing chunk of the Fortune 500. On the other side is a solo wedding photographer in New Mexico, a 70-year-old grandma florist in Washington and a few bakers.

 

One side wants the state to conscript the religious businesswomen and men into participating in ceremonies that violate their beliefs. The other side wants to make it possible for religious people to live their own lives according to their consciences.

 

Yet somehow, the Left and most of the mainstream press paint the current skirmishes over religious liberty as conservative offensives. When Indiana decided to follow the Clinton administration and 19 states in passing a version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Left let loose a cacophonous chorus of cries about a dangerous flood of homophobia spreading out from the Hoosier state.

The Left's tirades against Indiana's RFRA rely largely on paranoid predictions of what religious liberty might yield. RFRA "could be used as a cudgel by corporations to justify discrimination," warns Judd Legum at the liberal Think Progress. We heard these same terrified warnings amidst the Hobby Lobby case: Unless we force Christian employers to pay their workers in the form of contraception, we'll soon have Exxon Mobil declaring itself as Christian Scientist in order to axe all healthcare. Who knows? Maybe Comcast will come out as Salafist and all female employees will have to don the hijab.

 

Slippery-slope arguments are often valid — but not coming from the cultural Left, about marriage in the United States, in 2015.

What we are seeing (IMHO) is the next salvo in a war against religion. Remember "Hey Hey Ho Ho Western Civ Has Got To Go!"? Religion (Judaism, Christianity) is one of the major foundations of western civilization. There are (very silly) people that don't like Religion because its judgmental, The Bible...and yes The Koran say there are things God says are good and somethings are bad, there is a right and wrong way to live, and some people (who apparently stopped there moral development at 6) don't like being told how they should live. What they don't seem to understand is the opposite 1. doesn't work, 2. is really really bad.

 

Here endth the rant.

There's been a disturbing trend among our friends on the left. They simply stamp people resisting the normalization of gay behavior as "bigots," then refuse to engage with bigots. It's very childish and devoid of thought, but it works as a political weapon.

 

This is the level of idiocy to which we, as a society, have sunk.

Hey, @Valin, as a cute aside, do you know what the worst epithet a gay person can call a straight person is?

"Faggot." When they get angry with a straight person, they call him a "faggot." That's how proud they are of themselves....
