I rather expect
To see business boom in Indiana. First, because rfra places no restrictions on business, because real businesspeople are interested in-you know, business, and not playing alec baldwin threatening to storm off in a huff games, and a whole lot of people are aware that they have immortal souls and value them.

I was listening about RFRA this morning on the radio, and people (Governor of CT IIRC) reacting with shock and horror at the idea that someone could “discriminate”.
I don’t see why ANY of this is an issue. If I have a business, I offer something for sale. I can choose not to sell to someone, that’s my prerogative. For any reason, or for no reason. You want my product for less than I’m willing to sell it for? Nope. You want me to perform a service, but I don’t have the time because of other commitments? Sorry. You want to buy an item that’s already promised to someone else? Go away. You want me to do something I find morally unacceptable? Nope again.
Very simple. A customer is not required to do business with anyone they don’t want to, and neither is a business owner. Period, full stop.
This is and will always only ever be about liberals using any weapon they can to destroy conservatism. There will always be those who understand this, and those who have their own agenda. What really needs to stop forever is government interference in business, period. Plenty of otherwise sane people have a huge blind spot on this issue, because they dont bother to observe the militant nature of the lgbt crowd, or they have an axe to grind against the church-or G-d.
I have been watching this for its rhetorical interest. It fascinates me to see one set of bigots decrying bigottry in others while professing their own bigottry is a virtue. There is no possibility of government eliminating bigottry. Only deciding which bigots get to control the public space. In many states, the tiny minority is winning against the overwhelming majority.
Mark, it should be as you described, but since the civil rights of 1964 it isn’t.
Shows the wrongness of that 1964 law. Government should be non-discriminatory, but private business should be private.
Connecticut has the same law as Indiana!
…news today is that Gov Pence will waffle and obfuscate the intent of this legislation.
Shame.
I’m not going to what the left is doing and gripe about forthcoming amendments until I read them. If the governor puts in there no discrimination and nullifies all the left’s points about it being Jim Crow and keeps the rest about not participating in things against one’s conscience, then it worked and the idiots can try to make a Ferguson somewhere else.
It’s been clear to me for awhile that they don’t want me to tolerate them, but that I must approve and celebrate their choice, and that they will use the government’s gun- barrels to see to it that I do. Still, it was unsettling to see the protestors last weekend in Indy and see how much they hate those who don’t subscribe, without reservation, to their Weltanschauung.
Indeed, Knox, indeed.
Isn’t coercion of one’s labor (either by law or by force) for something he doesn’t want to do generally considered slavery?
I guess not if you’re a white Christian.
Or a taxpayer.
This so relates to what we’re discussing overall that even the Washington Examiner is calling it out for what it is. All out War under cover of a propaganda smoke screen.
The Left wages total war and then plays victim
Because the SSM knows that its near monopoly on instant news gives them ability to propagandize at will, the Big Lie is not only heard around the world 3 times before the truth is up and has its pants on (my salute to Twain), that now their goal is to drown the Truth before it awakens.
