Opinion • Views: 39,610

Author Stephen King had a very direct, unvarnished description of Indiana’s “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” yesterday on Twitter:

That’s why he gets paid the big bucks.

Setting for a new Stephen King novel - a bucolic backcountry town in Northeastern Maine. Just live every other Maine town except for one key difference. There’s only two occupants: Mike Pence and Maine Gov. Paul LePage.

And things get real ________________. Take it away Stephen!

Remember when Babycakes Johnson was promising he had more women about to come forward and say they’d been sexually harassed by Allen West?

Here it is Tuesday. Four days after his post. No sign of these women yet.

Know one example of a white guy who took part in MLK’s training and then in sit-ins, but in his later years turned into a flaming “white men rights activist”.

Cue the anti-Mexico hate and cries of “government tyranny”:

SCOTUS rejects students’ American flag free speech appeal

On Cinco de Mayo in 2010, three white students came to Live Oak High School in American flag T-shirts. Because the school has a history of gang violence between whites and Hispanics, school officials were afraid the shirts would anger Hispanic students celebrating the Mexican holiday and told the white students to either turn their shirts inside out or take them off.

The Supreme Court justices did not comment on their decision to reject the appeal in Dariano v. Morgan Hill Unified School District and leave the ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in place.

The appellate judges held that, given the history of prior events at the school, including an altercation on campus, it was reasonable for school officials to proceed as though the threat of a potentially violent disturbance was real.

Despite arguments from the students’ parents that the school violated their children’s First and 14th amendment rights, the judges held that school officials anticipated violence or substantial disruption of school activities and their response was tailored to the circumstances.

This was the right ruling. I don’t like that the school had to ban American flag clothes, even for a day, but that’s better than a major fight breaking out and people getting hurt or killed.

Just because Indiana used the same name for their legislation doesn’t mean it is the same as the federal or other states RFRAs. Only way to tell difference is to read and compare the versions.

And anyone who reads them would have no choice but admit that Gov. Pence and the GOP are trying to pull a fast one by inserting this language that enables discrimination.

Yet another conservative who doesn’t understand how anti-discrimination laws work:

Frankly, RFRA’s balancing test is, if anything, only a mild protection. From the First Amendment alone, we should understand (in my opinion) that the nation’s traditions of religious freedom should protect the right of a traditional Christian baker not to make a cake for a same-sex marriage. It should protect the right of a Muslim baker not to provide unleavened bread for a Jewish seder. It should protect the right of a homosexual photographer to decline to take photos of a married couple standing under a Biblical inscription about marriage being between man and woman. It should protect the right of a Jewish deli owner to deny services to a Muslim hungry from a demonstration march where the Muslim held aloft a sign saying “Death to Israel and Jews.”

Read more at: nationalreview.com

No law says you have to serve someone who threatens you. If the Deli owner refused to serve this guy, but served other Muslims, then no problem. If he refuses to serve any Muslim, that’s discrimination.

Also, trying to wrap my head around the second example. Why would any baker produce unleavened bread for and not sell it to Jews. I mean there are very specific kosher regulations on how Passover Matzo is made. This hypothetical Muslim baker would have had to have gone through the Kosher certification process, and then produced matzo specifically for the purpose of not selling it to Jews. That’s a lot of work just to be a dick.

While he helped pass the broad, controversial law that effectively allows businesses to discriminate against certain customers, such as gays and lesbians, Clark said that Religious Right activists like hisemlf are the real victims in the fight.

“The first thing you have to do is pray, because this is a spiritual war,” Clark told listeners. “There is no doubt about that, by the Twitter comments I get, by the email comments and threats from the opposition, some pornographic things that are out there and obscene things being said. This is a campaign of fear and lies and so this is a spiritual war that people must pray about.”

Here’s Wisconsin’s Governor travelling the grifter’s circuit basically calling the people of Madison communists.

Dave Mahoney backed Scott Walker’s marijuana story in radio interview

… At the Phoenix event Walker said he opposed legalizing marijuana, citing a conversation with the sheriff of liberal Dane County. “I mean, it’s left of Pravda,” Walker said of the political views of county residents, which he compared to the Communist Russian newspaper.

“Even there, the Democrat sheriff said to me last year when this issue came up, ‘Whatever you do, please do not sign the legalization of marijuana,’” Walker said. “This was a guy who spent his whole career in law enforcement. He was liberal on a whole lot of other issues. But he said it’s a gateway drug.”

Rod Dreher has lapsed into near incoherance. How long until he conflates Governor Pense with his new book on how Dante can save your life and make you just like MEEEEEEEE(!!!!)?

The Indiana RFRA is welcome. But it is weak, and will fall in front of the storm. As predicted by a friend in a recent Facebook post, at some point in the near future, within 1 - 5 years by my own reckoning, the RFRA laws, federal and state, will be overthrown in a Supreme Court decision. This will surprise only those who have lived with their heads under rocks, for it will be the logical outcome of the Court’s long jurisprudence of sexual individualism.

We are at war. It is a war we did not wish, but it is thrust upon us. And the sooner we realize it, the sooner we can raise the barricades. We must take every opportunity in law to argue against the eventuality. But we should not expect the law to do much for us any longer. There are those who will say that what is written here is “divisive” or seeks no compromise. This is untrue. For we must compromise, if only to hold the peace as long as possible, while we form communities and keep alive what tradition and religion we can. But, while we will not breach the compromise (laughably, the RFRA is seen as such by many!), it will certainly be broken. The fleeting withdrawal from the federal RFRA has shown us as much. And the refusal to read and understand - this law, our religious faiths, the philosophy of the West - is evidence that compromise may be possible only for a little while longer.

They just can’t help themselves with that whole “Damn your sexual individualism!!!! …and stop thrusting on us!!!! No really…you can stop in a couple of minutes…”

Father of MPHS shooter arrested

Basically the NICS check failed to pick up the father’s active restraining order, because the Tribal Courts apparently aren’t tied into the system. Because of this the guy was successfully able to purchase five guns in separate FFL transactions over the course of several months and keep those guns for years until his son killed a bunch of kids with one of them.

I can kind of understand why Tribal Court orders weren’t checked before now, because they’re ostensibly a separate kind of jurisdiction with limited sovereignty. Because of that this is exactly the kind of oversight one would expect to occur. But there’s obviously a lot of overlap between life on and off the Reservation, and this systemic failure has served to totally undermine the ability of the Tulalip Tribe to regulate it’s own members, keep them safe and administer justice. This needs to get fixed, soon.

In other theocracy news, apparently Klingenschmitt has offered some sort of half-hearted apology for his statement about abortion.

Still, he wrote this in yesterday’s paper:

Klingenschmitt: In the Old Testament they stoned the prophets

In the Old Testament, they didn’t elect prophets. They stoned them. I didn’t come here to be a career politician. I came to speak truth. […]

Yup, there’s your contemporary Republican, comparing himself to a prophet being stoned.

I ask forgiveness from everyone offended by my Sunday sermons. Today I issued a public video and formal, sincere apology.

Now The Denver Post reports that because I quoted unpopular Bible verses from the pulpit in my Sunday ministry, the legislative branch of the Colorado government will remove me from a committee.

While I respect his position, I disagree with Leader Brian DelGrosso’s decision, because it clearly establishes an unprecedented religious litmus test for which representatives can sit on what committees

.

So now he’s a victim of a religious litmus test.

I was not driving drunk, I was not arrested by the police, I am literally being punished for quoting unpopular Bible verses in my Sunday church, or interpreting the Old Testament differently than Leader DelGrosso interprets it, during my private ministry outside the Capitol. Is that suddenly a crime?

This is not the first time that a branch of the government has reached into my chapel and punished me for my sermons. It also happened when I was a chaplain in the Navy in 2005. That unlawful punishment helped launch 300,000 petitions and I was eventually vindicated by Congress, because their voters demanded religious freedom.Will we?

It’s all part of the same movement, about “religious freedom”.

The government is now forcing me to choose between obeying God on Sunday, and representing the people Monday through Friday. […]

I suspect this is going to become more and more commonplace in our politics.

Girl born with ‘elephant trunk’ deformity is worshipped like a god in India

Villagers near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, have flocked to see the ‘divine’ girl in the belief she is an incarnation of the elephant-headed god Ganesha.

Perino argued that the tide is turning on gay marriage not just across the country, but within the GOP, and this fight only helps to “nullify” the progress that’s being made in the party to get Republicans to be more open and accepting of gay rights.

I don’t know why Dana is shocked. The teabaggers are all about nullification.

OT, but you might be living in Louisiana if you get the following on your local TV news:

Last week, anchor dude reads a story about a convenience store robbery, only instead of showing security footage there’s a mix-up so that coverage of a funeral for Louisiana guardsmen killed in a helicopter crash runs instead. Rather than apologizing for technical difficulties, the anchor says, “If you recognize anyone from the tape that was supposed to run, call police or Crimestoppers … “

Last night, reporter dudette leads in to a story on cancer with, “There’s an old saying that says ‘Watch your back,’ but a better saying might be ‘Watch your colon.’”

Still, he wrote this in yesterday’s paper:

Yup, there’s your contemporary Republican, comparing himself to a prophet being stoned.

.

So now he’s a victim of a religious litmus test.

It’s all part of the same movement, about “religious freedom”.

360 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸  Mar 31, 2015 4:10:05pm

some details

Yes, 19 states and the federal government have RFRAs. But Indiana’s is the most sweeping law of its kind, says Matt Anderson, a civil rights trial lawyer in South Bend, Indiana. “A lot of states limit how you can use [religious expression] as a defense,” he says. “Texas, for example, says you can’t use it as a defense in a civil rights case.” Indiana places no such limit in its RFRA.

Nor does it limit the parties to such a suit. Why is this important? Most RFRAs require the government to be party to a suit in order to invoke religious expression as a defense; only Texas’s does not. This means that, in a suit between two private entities, the defendant cannot use his religious belief as a defense, because the government is not party to the case. This is precisely what happened in the recent case of Elane Photography v. Willock, in which the New Mexico Human Rights Commission fined Elaine Huguenin $7,000 for refusing to photograph a gay couple’s wedding.

Extremely dangerous Category 5 Super Typhoon Maysak is pounding the islands of Yap State in Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. At 8 am EDT Tuesday the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) put Maysak’s top sustained winds at 160 mph, making it one of only three Category 5 storms ever observed in the Northwestern Pacific prior to April. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) put Maysak’s central pressure at 905 mb, the lowest pressure they have estimated for any Northwestern Pacific typhoon occurring so early in the year (previous record: 930 mb for Typhoon Mitag of March 2002, Typhoon Alice of January 1979, and Typhoon Harriet of January 1959.)

Right there with ya. His rant last night even went to his “moral force” argument, which was part of his fabulous 1998 speech at Cornell—

It’s such a simple thing, really. It’s an awareness that the other people in the world are other people, and that you are one of them. That every time you have a chance to help somebody out, to do what’s right instead of what you think you’re supposed to do, you should do it…

if you keep your Moral Force intact just sufficiently so that you can stand up once or twice in the rest of your life and say, “You know what? This is wrong for me and for people I know and for people I don’t know and I’m not going to do it,” you will have improved the world.
