Yeah, this is stupid. Businesses can now legally choose to discriminate AGAINST people of faith, as well, the way it sounds. "I don't serve Christians, as I'm an Islamic Extremist. Go outside and wait for Jesus to give you this product/perform this service for you. Mike Pence Akbar!"Quote:

Disgraced closetcase--I mean, Congressperson--Aaron Schock, in his final speech before Congress:
Abraham Lincoln held this seat in Congress for one term. But few faced as many defeats in his personal business and public life as he did.
Comparing yourself to Lincoln? Check.
I know that God has a plan for my life.
Narcissistic self-aggrandizement? Check.
I leave here with sadness and humility.
Hilariously low levels of self-awareness? Check!
How about apologizing to the American people, or to your constituents? Nope, none of that. Not an ounce of remorse or apology.
Okay, I don't post in these threads usually, but someone set me up with a link to where I can go and worship this badass church. Because Cocoa Pebbles are awesome.Quote:

Do you think that was a mistake? Do you believe it should have been left for the free market to work out? It probably would have also happened, albeit much more slowly. It's harder to outright discriminate against gays, since you can't spot (most, anyway) them like you can other minorities.Quote:

When Hewitt asked him if he would enforce federal drug laws in states that have legalized and regulated cannabis, Christie Christie responded harshly by saying, “Absolutely. I will crack down and not permit it. States should not be permitted to sell it and profit from legalizing marijuana.” He added that the country has an “addiction problem” and that a clear message needs to be sent “from the White House on down through federal law enforcement.”
Rep. Peter King slammed Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul for speaking for hours Wednesday on the Senate floor against renewing the Patriot Act and the NSA's metadata programs the law authorizes, charging to Newsmax that he is "doing a disservice to the country and he's putting our national security at risk.
"He's unnecessarily frightening the American people," the New York Republican, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in an exclusive interview. "He's making the [National Security Agency] out to be the enemy.
"In fact, the enemy is al-Qaida, ISIS, and Islamist terrorism, and the NSA is the key weapon that the United States has in the war against al-Qaida," King said. "The NSA does not listen to anyone's phone calls and does not read anyone's emails. There have been no abuses found against the NSA.
"This is just absolutely terrible. It's so misleading. It's fear-mongering — and it's inexcusable," he said.
