A right imposes nothing on anyone else.<br /><br />The militants say they have a right to force people to do things. That's not a right, but a law.<br /><br />Indiana has chosen to respect and protect the right, and the militants need to fight every one of these battles before the rest of the country figures out that the militants don't have much of an argument on their side. <br /><br />The militants have hardened the position of the country against homosexuals with this tantrum.

Feed the hungry, help the poor, visit the widows and orphans, pray in your home or church?<br /><br />Come on Christians. Tell us what freedoms you have lost. Then, be honest and tell us what you really want.<br /><br />This entire brouhaha is about Christians trying to establish Christian Supremacy in America by imposing their rules; their morals. It's an attack on America and our Constitution.<br /><br />Some of us just want freedom from religion.

I have the freedom to do anything; you have the freedom to do anything the fascist media and crony politicians (me) allow. I do your dirty work, whether that includes Crucifying your actual Savior 2000 years ago or making you bake a cake tomorrow.
