Ann Coulter: "Every single cause championed by liberals is based on a fake story"

Ann Coulter on the liberal's new anti-religious freedom crusade:
Having won the war on gay marriage (by judicial fiat), now some liberal zealots insist on going house-to-house and shooting the survivors. They seem to seek out Christian businesses to provide floral arrangements and cakes for gay weddings so they can call the cops if the Christians try to pass. 
A roomful of gays would say, "Why don't you guys just go to one of the nine out of 10 florists who would be happy to have your business?" (My guess is, if the zealots looked really hard, they might even be able to find a gay florist!)  
That is all the religious freedom laws do: Encourage steely-eyed activists to stop requiring every last Christian to celebrate gay marriages. 
...Do not assume that because liberals are in an absolute panic over Indiana's law, they must have a point. To the contrary, the more hysterical they are, the more you should assume the whole story is a sham.

Al Sharpton opposed to Indiana religious freedom law. In case you need another reason to be for it

Just sayin'.

"Die in a pizza fire, haters!"—Opponents of Indiana law to small town pizza store owners

That goose-stepping you hear is a business being targeted by gays in full hate mode.

If Christians boycotted a gay businesses, harassed it on social media, posted death threats on the Internet, and forced it to close, what would be the reaction? A law to help protect them from anti-gay discrimination maybe?

Now transport yourself to Walkerton, Indiana, where the owner of a small town pizza business has been targeted by opponents of Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act after one of its owners answered a hypothetical question and said that if it were asked to cater a gay wedding it would have to decline.

The response:

  • "Die in a pizza fire, haters!"
  • "Eat a d***k and rot in hell! Kisses!"
  • "... these owners are s****y humans"
  • "Can't wait to read about your bankruptcy in the future."

It goes on. Don't you just feel the love?

I mean, gosh, it's almost like people with religious, I don't know, need a law to help protect them. Oh, wait. I guess that's what Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act is for.

Apple Computer boycotts Indiana while selling computers in countries where homosexuals are jailed.

Apple Computer, which happily sells computers in Malaysia where people can be jailed for homosexuality, is boycotting Indiana for its Religious Freedom Restoration Act because it thinks, mistakenly, that it can be used to discriminate against gays.

An Apple a day apparently doesn't keep hypocrisy away.

You can refuse to offer a service to anyone you want as long as you are not exercising a Constitutional right

Opponents of Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act argue that a business owner cannot use the Constitutional right of free religious exercise as a legitimate excuse to refuse service to someone.

Go figure.

Can we get the groups boycotting Indiana to boycott Kentucky too? Please?

George Takei is boycotting Indiana. And this is scary ... why?
After looking at the list of people who are boycotting Indiana for passing its religious freedom law, I am trying to think about how Kentucky can get in on this boycott deal.

If you look at the list, you to will see that these are people we need to get to boycott Kentucky as well. In fact, this would be an excellent way to keep intolerant people who are opposed to basic Constitutional rights out of the state where they can't bother us.

For example, the AFSCME. First of all, we should refuse entry to any organization with an acronym that long. The AFSCME is the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. Government bureaucrats? Threatening not to come to your state? This is a joke, right? Is there any state that would not want this group to boycott them?

Angie's List: This is the group claiming to offer consumer reviews of local businesses that accepts ad revenues from some of the businesses they purport to objectively review. And they're lecturing states on proper behavior? And what credibility does a company have in trying to financially punish a state that has itself been in business for almost 20 years and never made a profit?

George Takei: The actor who played Sulu on the original Star Trek series and who, after a subsequent career appearing at nerdy Trekkie conventions, is now a gay celebrity (that's a celebrity who is famous for simply being gay) is also boycotting Indiana. I'm trying to think of exactly what a boycott by George Takei consists of. Is he just not coming there anymore? Is there something scary about this that I am missing?

Connecticut. That's right. The whole state. No one from Connecticut is every coming to Indiana again. Ever. Oh, and check out Connecticut's religious freedom law: It's more strict than the Indiana law. Maybe Connecticut could boycott itself. Then no one from Connecticut would ever come to Connecticut. Ever.

Wilco, the indie band, said it would cancel its upcoming show in Indianapolis. If you have ever heard Wilco (or for that matter most other indie bands) you will understand the magnitude of this threat (yawn). Indie bands are like most other bands except that there is no quality control. I am hoping, if we can get a strong boycott of Kentucky going, we can get every indie band to boycott us.

San Franscisco has boycotted Indiana. It is not allowing its city government employees to travel there. This just increases the urgency of getting them to boycott Kentucky too before, not being able to go to Indiana, they start coming here.
