We Deliver

Well, now we know why Fred thought it was OK to cite the character assassins at Advocate.com in the Daily Shot.

Peter Robinson is my hero.

The young lady at Memories Pizza was literally minding her own business when a reporter walked in, shoved a microphone in her face, and asked a question she was clearly unprepared to give the exactly prescribed acceptable answer to.

Memories Pizza didn't make a claim of victim status. They were inundated by death threats, had their website hacked, their Yelp review status trashed by people who've never been customers. They've been forced to close the business and literally go into hiding.

What's disingenuous is the suggestion (albeit probably unintentional) that what's happened to Memories Pizza is "murky."

Maybe some of the people surrounding Pence when he signed Indiana's RFRA are unappealing. But shouldn't the issue be the plain text of the law, which only requires that the state have a compelling interest and use the least restrictive means of attaining it. Which only gives the person a defense in court, which the judge and jury may or may not accept?

Can Rob give us examples of gay persons who've been harmed by RFRAs?

There are numerous examples of people who have been harmed by the state for their opposition to serving SSM (here in the United States):

A couple fined $13,000 for refusing to host a SSM on their property

Ordained ministers being threatened with jail time if they don't perform SSMs

And while Vanderbilt is a private institution, here's an example of what's happening on college campuses all over the country:

Christian student groups are kicked off campus for requiring their leaders (their leaders) to affirm a traditional Christian statement of faith.

It's quite an extensive list. There's this new-fangled thing Rob may have heard of, the "Internet" which has something called "search engines." Rob might want to give it a try to inform himself about the very real sanctions (by state and private actors) to which Christians who object to being made to service SSM are being subjected.

Minor correction: Mitt Romney fought exactly once. In Colorado. And he decimated Barack Obama- by the lights of die-hard-Obama Supporters, even (remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth on MSNBC). Then he backed off. And at that point handed the election to Obama.

Andy needs to get out of D.C. if he thinks we aren't pick-up country. Come on down here to North Carolina and I can introduce you to pick-up country.
