I am proud of the All American blowback


Posted: Mar 31, 2015

A divergent and at times highly unexpected variety of organizations, businesses, and people who have called foul on this thing, some put their money where there mouth is with cancelled expansions or concerts, and it is a delight to see:

Read 'em and weep:

NASCAR
Subaru
Gov Cuomo of NY
Stephen King
George Takei
Nick Offerman
Delta Faucet
Angie's List

And now in Arkansas they have passed a similar idiotic bill, and even freaking Walmart is against it!

Not often do you see such a wide range of entities all out disgusted. I find it extremely heartening, and this is what I believe American politics is truly about, people who have the courage to unite for what's right and what's fair, no matter whether you are left or right.

As per Stephen King:

Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it's still a dog turd.

Oh, God. Please research. - nm

Are you accusing all these entities as - not having "researched"?

[ In Reply To ..]
I think you only want one kind of research, the kind that agrees with you.

I am so glad all these great companies and individuals are not deluded by that "research" but instead have just responded to what is clearly the intent of this heinous law.

Entities? What entities? The stupid ones who can't read - Or comprehend?

The entities above - here they are again
[ In Reply To ..]
NASCAR
Subaru
Gov Cuomo of NY
Gov Malloy of CT
Stephen King
George Takei
Nick Offerman
Delta Faucet
Angie's List
Wal-Mart

I don't think you can call all these individuals and groups stupid and unable to comprehend.

Governor Pence obviously failed in his quest to "clarify" the law.

Gotta love the rebuttals lately that don't provide a shread of evidence to the contrary - "wrong" and "do your research"

[ In Reply To ..]
I've seen so many rebuttals like that lately, it makes no sense. I understand if people just disagree or just want to believe differently and don't feel they need to explain why, but I guess what I don't understand are comments demanding others to "do their research" and are "wrong" without providing any evidence themselves to the contrary. I mean it's like kids going "nuh uh", it's just pointless. Even more odd is when you try to tell someone "there is no proof that person ever said that", then they come back and ask you to prove it. How can anyone provide proof of something that wasn't said or never happened? I understand that in cases where the source is unreliable, but otherwise there is no proof for what doesn't exist. So the burden of proof is then on the person who is says it did to provide evidence. So I can only assume such "nuh uh" responses are just efforts to irritate the people that disagree with them rather than contribute in any meaningful way to the conversation.
'cause no matter what is posted - Libs ignore it - Do your own research and stop the attacks
[ In Reply To ..]
on those of us that have done research and disagree with you.

You wanna keep attacking, go ahead. A lot don't think your posts credible either. Just sounds like you keep posting and posting and posting your POV hoping to bait someone in a fight.

Unfortunately, for you, no one taking the bait.
Opinion not attack, and no one mentioned whether it was libs or cons. - Guilty conscience?
[ In Reply To ..]
And I will "stop" doing what other commenters demand right after I pledge allegiance to my money as my God, rather than God.

(That's tongue-in-cheek, for the sarcasm-impaired)
Research what, exactly? - different poster
[ In Reply To ..]
Public opinion is overwhelmingly AGAINST this mockery of a law that Pence signed. And posting an opinion that differs from yours is not an ATTACK or BAIT.

(CAPS = EMPHASIS)

Leave it to Stephen King to turn a phrase lol - Signothetimes

I Am A Proud American Who Believes That America Has Held, Aug 26, 2015
and special place in the affairs of mankind on Planet Earth. I believe that America has been divinely blessed and protected in our two centuries plus of existence. I believe that America has been a counter balance that has cancelled out a lot of tyranny, evil and conquest, and admittedly, we have made a lot of mistakes. But on balance we have exerted a certain Pax Americana in the international affairs of mankind. It took a lot of old fashioned guts for the Continental Congress to stand ...
