re: #192 Justanotherhuman

If you care to research, you can see that the right wing, with the help of ALEC and other actors, are hellbent on establishing laws that are contrary to Federal laws in this country and trying to circumvent and/or them and have been doing so for some time. The Indiana law is just one.

I suspect it’s part of the Seven Mountains gameplan of the Dominionist movement, but that may be the conspiracy theorist in me speaking up. The RR, with the cooperation of more secular wingnuts, has created a false dichotomy of the evil federal government, with its un-Christian laws, and persecuted “Christians” being forced to obey those terrible laws. They’ve created an atmosphere of suspicion of secular government — and it makes no difference who is in the White House at the time — and this atmosphere enables cooperative legislators to introduce and push through laws that slowly whittle away at secular law. It’s been going on for at least 30 years. The targets originally were abortion and contraception. Then came school prayer (an old one) and evolution. Now they’ve got gay rights and Islam as targets, too.
