Religious Freedom Bill in Indiana.

[barbara]

I am traveling right now and happen to be in Indiana.
I read in the newspaper that the governor just signed the Religious Freedom Bill which is anti gay legislation.

Seems Indiana has just taken a giant leap backwards.

Pence should have followed Jan Brewer's lead and vetoed the bill.

This will end up wasting time and money in the courts for nothing.

Georgia's trying to pass an even worse one but they've run into trouble and tabled the bill. We'll see whether it gets resurrected.

I read the Georgia bill a few nights ago. As I understood it the heart of it was an assertion that any regulation written to instill neutrality in matters of religious freedom are the same as regulations designed to DAMAGE religious freedom.

To my mind, this would be very bad news. At that rate we might as well just deep six the constitution and go straight to Theocracy, may the most ruthless Inquisitor win.

You know Goldwater warned of religious tyrants reaching for power in the GOP in 1981.

It looks like they've made some significant strides in the last 34 years.

We get 'religious freedom,' you don't? That's not freedom, that's the opposite.

To think that Pence is contemplating a run for president.
