This time, it's the troglodytes in Washington state. They've introduced a bill in the legislature to "...allow businesses the right to deny services or goods if they felt doing so was contrary to their "sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, or matters of conscience..."
Washington state bill would allow businesses to deny gays
The target, of course, is homosexuals and the genesis of this bill is the floral shop which declined to sell flowers for a same-sex marriage, claiming it violated their religious principles. The excuse is that "There's a glaring lack of protection for religion in state law," according to Sen. Sharon Brown who filed the bill.
Do tell. A "glaring lack of protection?"
It'll be interesting to see how they'll react when a Muslim shop owner refuses service for a Christian ceremony, won't it?
Thankfully, the bill has little change of passing, but it highlights the GOP's inherent bigotry anyhow.
But let GE Financial withhold a loan from a gun store owner, and.....

if you do not like what GE Financial did .... why would you support what the GOP is trying to legislate ???
obviously the Goose and the Gander are two different animals for Republicans.

So, it is perfectly okay with you for liberals and progressives to have morals, principles, and to act upon them in the legislature, but as soon as someone else exhibits morals and principles, you are in a tizzy?This time, it's the troglodytes in Washington state.

Democrats do bigotry every day against Republicans with excessive patronization.Ummm hummmm. That's what I figured. The usual suspects are lining up to support legalized bigotry, but where's the surprise in that?
I'll bet it'll be a different tune when they walk into a store and the owner says, "Sorry. Selling to anybody with a Mitt Romney bumper sticker is against my philosophical beliefs." Or, "Out of gas? Gee, that's too bad, but selling it to you violates my conscience because I love the earth." Or, "We'd love to have your kid in our private school, but my sincerely held religious beliefs won't let me teach the "wrong" kind of person. And, you're the wrong kind of person."
Extreme examples? Not in the least. In their rush to be seen as "standing up" against the homosexual agenda to massage their bigoted base, they'll once again create a helluva lot more problems than they'll solve and their bias will boomerang back.
I can't wait for the crying then.
Is it all you can do to call it bigotry? What if you had a business? What if in that business you refused service to your so called cadre of bigots? What if you were told you couldn't deny them service? Wouldn't you be fighting for that right too?
Cry less please.
Bigotry is the word that fits. Please explain to me how refusing service to someone just because you don't happen to like their lifestyle isn't bigotry.

Sure, bigotry is a common affliction. But, should we legalize it?
The bigots have been trying to force their beliefs on others forever.
However, they can't do it in the US.

Commerce is not governed by 1st Amendment concerns.
The law is patently unconstitutional.
