The RFRA debate has brought out more cases of hypocrisy and political doublespeak than you could shake a stick at, but there is perhaps no better example to be found than the one on the pages of the New York Times editorial page. Keep in mind that we’re not talking about one individual op-ed writer or guest author, but the editorial board of the Gray Lady. They came out forcefully this week to give a cheering round of applause to big companies who jumped on the bandwagon to force the evil legislators in Indiana and Arkansas to back down on the protection of religious freedom.
Big Business and Anti-Gay Laws
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD, APRIL 3, 2015
Oh, my. That’s a powerful statement indeed. But the Times editors feel that these loud corporate voices could be doing much more to influence government and make the world a better place than just paying lip service.
Another thing businesses can do is to make clear that they want lawmakers in all states to pass anti-discrimination protections for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people. More than three dozen chief executives of technology companies did just that in a statement released on Wednesday.
So are we all up to date on the opinions of the Left leaning New York Times editorial board now? These businesses have an important role to play, not only in the general public discussion, but in making sure that lawmakers do the right thing.
Now, let’s step into the Way Back Machine and check in on this same editorial board only 63 months earlier. I wonder what they have to say about the important voice of business owners in politics?
The Court’s Blow to Democracy
JAN. 21, 2010
With a single, disastrous 5-to-4 ruling, the Supreme Court has thrust politics back to the robber-baron era of the 19th century. Disingenuously waving the flag of the First Amendment, the court’s conservative majority has paved the way for corporations to use their vast treasuries to overwhelm elections and intimidate elected officials into doing their bidding.
Congress must act immediately to limit the damage of this radical decision, which strikes at the heart of democracy.
