I once intruded on a Facebook discussion between two liberals:
First Liberal: I hate judgmental people!
Second Liberal: Me too!
PORAC: In order to make that statement, don’t you first have to be judgmental?
That went over like a hickey on a hemorrhoid.
It seems like the civil rights bullies are in the same boat. The First Amendment states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” [1]
Call me simple, but it seems like if a governmental entity decides to take action against an individual or company because of their religious convictions they do so under two circumstances. 1. In a manner that is extralegal or 2. fully sanctioned under existing laws. This means either without legal authority or in violation of the First Amendment.
I have always maintained that the “gay rights” movement has nothing to do with “gay” or “rights” but uses both as a cat’s paw to create the illusion that America is an unjust society. A 1950’s radical, Carlos Marighella. a contemporary of “Che” wrote a blue print for such a conflict, called MINIMANUAL OF THE. URBAN GUERRILLA. In it he proposed that revolutionaries embark on a campaign of robberies, kidnappings, bombings and armed confrontations. Some of these actions were necessary to fund the revolution.
The bulk and all actions taken as a whole were designed to demonstrate that government was powerless and corrupt. As events escalated the government would respond in a heavy handed manner and in doing so, create more people sympathetic to the cause. In eight years the Obama administration has achieved Marighella’s vision better than he.
