This week in Politicians Don't Know Their Own State Laws

[wvkeeper(HN)]

"In case you needed more proof that the recent backlash against religious freedom laws is grounded in pure ignorance, look no further than Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy. Malloy, a Democrat, just announced here. The inanity of Malloy's move doesn't stop there, though. What makes his grandstanding particularly absurd is the fact that Connecticut's RFRA provides far greater religious liberty protections than Indiana's or even the federal government's."

I think what is really driving this backlash in Indiana is that the State passed this law in direct response to same sex marriage. "Religious Liberty" has become the rallying cry for neo-fascist christian conservative movement the last few years. They have been using it to push-back against same sex marriage and other gay rights...

Only time will tell if indeed there is an economic backlast to this particular "Religious Freedom Act"

So, Yes, 19 States have passed "Religious Freedom Acts" but it appears that none them go so far as Indiana's as legalizing discrimination against US Citizens...

I will be interested to see how the State of Indiana responses...

In case you needed more proof that the recent backlash against anything deemed "unfair", is grounded in pure ignorance, and usually fun to laugh at, look no further than............. a typical Democrat

Keep... Where did you pull your quote?

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

In the link I provided you can read Connecticut's state law and see the difference.

The "Fairness for All Hoosiers Act" legislative proposal would:
• Update the state's civil rights laws against discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations to provide protections for LGBT Hoosiers.
• Clarify that the recently enacted Indiana religious discrimination law cannot be used to allow discrimination prohibited under state or local laws.

I believe this is the underlining difference between States... Some States although they have "Religious Freedom Acts"... They also have civil right laws on the books that protect LGBT Community from discrimination...

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

That is not the case here...Gov. Malloy shows himself to be another in a long line of politicians who are just interested in saying "look how tolerant I am and how much better I am than those people" without being intelligent enough to know what his own states laws are....and in this particular situation Connecticut's law is both more specific and has a stronger enforcement than the Indiana law that folks are gullibility being stirred up to hate on by the also gullible, no-longer-interested-in-journalism media.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Their view of tolerance is a one-way street. People must respect their point of view but those of us that don't are homophobic bigots.

So, after seeing an interview of the Governor of CT... In the interview he does indeed mention that CT has a "Freedom of Relgion Act" thing going on... He also goes on to state that the State of CT also has anti-discrimination legislation in place as well...

If you are referring to the interview he just did on Morning Joe...do you remember how many times Gov. Malloy used the word "stupid" and "bigot" in referencing Gov. Pence of Indiana?

Whatever happened to this "new tone" in politics thing that the President has been speaking about for several years?

Keep... Didnt see Morning Joe... I was talking about an interview I saw last evening...

You know, as long as people just transact their business in a civil manner this whole thing shouldn't be a problem. Politely go in, buy your cake and eat it too.

This thing seems massively overblown.

Walden for the win!!

What troubles me most is the way in which folks just jump on the mob bandwagon without doing even a modicum of research. We are living in a day of torch parties (on both left and right).

I did do my research and it lead me to believe the push back over the lack of anti-discrimination laws on the books protecting the Gay Community... The Religious Freedom Act coupled with the proper Anti-Discrimination Laws on the books seem to be a pretty good balance of things...

So your research led you to believe facts that are based on false assumptions and ignorance? Good to know.

The law does not permit discrimination. Nor do any of the laws of this type permit discrimination. So why would you need to create another law to prevent discrimination for a specific law that does not discriminate? Never mind. I may have to read more of your inaccurate "research" based on falsehoods and political nonsense.

FWIW, Indiana's legislative website makes reading and understanding any bill a pain in the ass. For example, if a current law is proposed to be changed, it does not include the current text, just the words that are to be changed. WV does a much better job of this stuff by printing the current law with the changes provided in text. Sometimes, the IN website just includes a summary. Things to bring up to my representative next time I run into him....

Oh... OK... Sounds like someones needs to do a little research of their own... So, now explain to me why every State but SC and now possible AR has anti-discrimantion language in the "Freedom of Religion Acts" or separate anti-discrimination laws on the books? Even Texas has anti-discrimination language in the States "Freedom of Religion Act" that then Governor Bush signed into law...
