http://www.wwltv.com/story/news/politics/2015/05/19/louisiana-jindal-religious-freedom/27589587/ What a piece of shit. Can this fucker go already. Where is the outrage over the executive order use?
So you are in favor of denying people to practice their religious beliefs? The opposition is all about some gay agenda. Myself, I would take their money but for others they feel differently and it would be against their moral code. If someone wants to take the chance of losing business because the homos spread the word that should be their business.
Where was it when he used an executive order to rob state employees of $1.5 billion in medical benefits that that they had been contractually promised when the state denied them medicare benefits. The Republicans cut the taxes that supported them and told the state employees to suck eggs. It's all going to end up in court and cost Louisiana even more for no good reason. They can practice them in any way they wish as long as they don't discriminate. This order gives a business permission to discriminate based on his religious beliefs. No it's not. the opposition is about government inventing laws to allow a business to discriminate based on personal religious beliefs. Jindal and the Republicans don't seem to understand that the religious right is a declining demographic. Non-religious people are the second biggest portion of the electorate now . . . bigger than catholicism, traditional protestants, and non-Christian religions and trailing evangelicals only slightly. And younger people are even less religious so the trend towards religion free government is trending up. Millennials are double the nonreligious Boomers and triple the non-religious Silent Generation. http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/
That's a bullshit cop out. Their religious rights have not been infringed upon. It's been said many times, you wanna sell your products to the public, you cannot discriminate based on sex, religion, gender etc.

Just because a higher percentage of the populace is more accepting of perversion than in the past doesn't make it right to shove it down the throats of those whose religion or morality prevents them condoning it. To get back to the overused example of the bakery owner yes, it would be wrong to refuse to sell a cake to somebody based solely on the fact that they are gay. But its equally wrong to force the owner to bake a specifically gay themed cake if he doesn't want to.
The only thing being shoved down anyone's throats is Christianity. Bunch of paranoid fucks who haven't been discriminated against since before Charlamange.
One that has little statuettes of Adam and Steve instead of Adam and Eve. Would you bake a cake for someone who wanted the script to say "Potheads belong in prison?"
