I am a proud Hoosier and business owner, stuff like this is so insane for our state, I hate it. Fortunately local biz leaders are speaking out. Which prompted governor Mike Pence to appear to "clarify" his bill. A friend of mind suggested a drinking game where you have to take a shot every time Pence says "but george" or "bill clinton" we would all be dead in under an hour. I am up for paying a fine goon to create a song with some some of the finer moments looped around like the SA days of yore. (bed intruder, leprechaun song etc) http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/video/gov-mike-pence-religious-freedom-law-29987447 “I understand that there’s been a tremendous amount of misinformation and misunderstanding around this bill, and I’m just determined — and I appreciate the time on your program — I’m just determined to clarify this,” Pence told ABC’s George Stephanopolous. “So this is a yes or no question,” the ABC host noted. “Is Advance America right when they say a florist in Indiana can now refuse to serve a gay couple without fear of punishment?” Pence, however said that the purpose of the bill that he signed was to “empower” religious people. And this was a pattern that would be repeated over the next 20 minutes: Stephanopolous asking if the bill allowed anti-LGBT discrimination, followed by Pence dodging the question. “And so yes or no, if a florist in Indiana refuses to serve a gay couple at their wedding, is that legal now in Indiana?” Stephanopolous asked. “Yes or no?” “This is where this debate has gone, with misinformation,” Pence replied. “There’s been shameless rhetoric about my state and about this law and about its intention all over the Internet. People are trying to make it about one particular issue. And now you’re doing that, as well.” “That was one of our supporters who was talking about the bill right there,” Stephanopolous pressed. “It said it would protect a Christian florist who — against any kind of punishment. Is that true or not?” “George, look, the issue here is, you know, is tolerance a two way street or not?” Pence opined. “I mean, you know, there’s a lot of talk about tolerance in this country today having to do with people on the left. But here Indiana, steps forward to protect the constitutional rights and privileges of freedom of religion for people of faith and families of faith in our state and this avalanche of intolerance that’s been poured on our state is just outrageous.” “So when you say tolerance is a two way street, does that mean that Christians who want to refuse service or people of any other faith who want to refuse service to gays and lesbians, that it’s now legal in the state of Indiana?” the ABC host tried again. And again, Pence deflected: “I’m telling you, George, it is a red herring and I think it’s deeply troubling to millions of Americans and, frankly, people all across the state of Indiana who feel troubled about government overreach.” The Indiana governor added that he had no plans to add protections for LGBT people to the state’s civil rights laws. But officials had been “been doing our level best, George, to correct the gross mischaracterization of this law that has been spread all over the country by many in the media.” “I mean, frankly, some of the media coverage of this has been shameless and reckless,” he insisted. “The online attacks against the people of our state, I’m just not going to stand for it.” Pence said that he would be open to a bill that “amplifies” the current law, but “we’re not going to change this law.” “A final question, a final yes or no question, Governor,” Stephanopolous pushed. “Do you think it should be legal in the state of Indiana to discriminate against gays or lesbians?” “It’s a yes or no question,” the host added. “Hoosiers don’t believe in discrimination,” Pence insisted. “I mean this is not about discrimination. This is about protecting the religious liberty of every Hoosier of every faith.” Crap--can a mod change the thread tag? DJ Sizzle fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Mar 29, 2015 |

So tired of homos pushing their gay agenda on good people with their skinny effeminate ladyboys with ruby red gaping assholes, their veiny throbbing cocks being milked by hairy strongfat dudes with viking beards. It just greatly upsets me what these fags are doing all the time and it's time we fight back.

Old Uncle Bob • 30 minutes ago There is no god. We the People, please. The religion industry keeps carving out privileges for itself while masquerading it as 'freedom'. There is no god. Freedom From Religion is how this country thrives. The right wing is in bed with the charlatans and the big grab is on. There is no god. 3 • Reply•Share ›

An HIV “epidemic” fueled by needle-sharing opiate addicts has infected at least 72 people in one southern Indiana county as Gov. Mike Pence plans to declare a public health emergency in that community on Thursday.

check out this scenario *Republican senator Chad Pagefalker lazily shifts into his hotel room to find the lights off and the moonlit silhouette of a man leaning against a gaudy cabinet. he is startled but intrigued "What are you doing here?" as he reaches for his cell phone to call the police. The shadowed man beckons to him "Mr. Pagefalker" as he takes a hit off what must be a cigarette and exhales. "I know you are going to vote against Obama's healthcare reform act" He puffs again and the cigarette lights up with a bluish hue. "What of it?" the senator quizzes, his fingers hovering over the phone yet pose eager to hear whatever proposition will come next. "It's simple" the shadowed man exhales, walking out of the shadow to reveal a chubby male pockmarked with acne and sporting a fedora. "I want you to make an amendment to the bill by introducing a national single payer alternative." The Senator's face turns in an matter of seconds from intent listening, to a puzzled look to stifling laughter. "Why would I do this?" he says with a half chuckle "Its the right thing to do." the Fedorad man says, this time with a cracked voice. The senator laughs "You have to do what's best for the middle and lower class" " I am calling the police in 2 minutes so you better be gone" The fedorad man says "I can pay your campaign" The senator's eye widens a bit. "with your family's life." "What are you talking about you fat poo poo?" nonchalantly the fedorad man says. "Make the amendment or your family dies, but not before I show them you sucking off those teenagers in the Hamptons" So the senator votes for the healthcare bill As the enters his room for his daily orphan rape session, the fedorad man appears. The senator jumps back. " I did as you asked, is my family safe?" "They are safe now that we have passed a healthcare bill that truly covers all of america" The fedorad man shows the senator a picture of his family on a free Jesus Revival retreat in Florida. "1 down 99 to go" he look to himself gazing at the sky. "You bastard" Chad scowls. as the fedorad man climbs onto the window revealing a jet pack. "What do they call you? " "Oh me?" the fedorad man looks back and winks "Just call me Middle America Man"
