Leftist dogma not only brooks no dissent, you are no longer even allowed to pass on giving an opinion.
CNN’s Carol Costello ATTACKED Duke head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski for refusing to weigh in on the new religious freedom law in Indiana. I’m not kidding. Krzyzewski didn’t come down one way or the other on the law, he simply refused to address it. But because he didn’t fall in line, I guess, with other sports figures condemning the law, CNN does a whole segment attacking him.
Left fascists are also trolling Indiana businesses through Yelp and giving bad reviews to any restaurant that declines to cater a same-sex wedding.
I, and many others, predicted that the legalization of same-sex marriages would lead to exactly the kind of fascist behavior you’re now seeing. ONOES! was ever the response. “No one wants to interfere with people’s religion! That’s just crazy talk!”
Next up, clergy will be forced to perform same-sex marriages or church tax-exempt status will be challenged. Think it can’t happen? Yeah, right.
The Left is doing what it has done since the days of USSR and Mao’s China. They, and only they, will decide what constitutes legitimate religion, if any. And that which is not expressly allowed will be forbidden.
This is what they are, this is what they do.
The Herms have been disfigured! Pence did it! Get him!
it’s simple. when questioned, say you are a practicing muslim, then have a staredown.
OT, here are 22 reasons I live in an awesome state and the rest of you yutzes need to stay out so there’s more elbow room in the parks and stuff.
Hey feets!
Remember that time I told you that the SSM issue was not about fairness but was a Rubicon the Christers wouldn’t cross, making it an ideal cudgel against the Left’s enemies, and you said I was worrying about things what wouldn’t ever happen, because teh gheys just want the same red-velvet cupcakes with cream-cheese frosting that everyone else wants?
Yeah. Good times.
Take it like a man, breeders.
I have been agnostic about SSM thinking it would be OK as long as it was passed through normal legislation or initiative. Now I am leaning away because of all the bullying. Screw ’em.
I was trying to think of what the bullying reminded me of:
Mr. Fremont: It’s snowing outside! Anthony, are you making it snow?
Anthony Fremont: Yes, I’m making it snow.
Mr. Fremont: Why, that’ll ruin half the crops! You know that, don’t you, half the crops! That’s what that…
Mrs. Fremont: [runs to her husband’s side, hoping to calm him] Dan!
Mr. Fremont: [coming to his senses] But it’s good that you’re making it snow, Anthony, – it’s real good. And tomorrow – tomorrow’s going to be a real good day!
dicentra, I second that awesome state statement. Now that Red, Jr. has graduated from college, we have few excuses to go to UT. Mrs. Red is also pressuring me to move my semi-retirement there. If you had the ocean, I’d be there in a heartbeat.
Leftists are liars? What next? Fire burns? Ice is cold?
RI Red, they do have a really salty lake…
Remember “You can’t legislate morality?” That was a lie. The people saying it never really believed it.
Same deal with “If you don’t like X, then don’t do it. Just don’t force your morals on others.” They didn’t really believe that either.
I remember signs behind the counter in stores that read “We reserve the right to refuse service”, that seems to be an anachronism that once applied to all private companies except the government regulated public utilities, monopolies, like electric, water, telephone etc.
Now the government and the left-activists will “tell” all businesses what services and products they may provide and what they may not provide. When they may provide them and when they may not do so. Who they may provide them to and who they may not. Where they may provide them and where they may not do so. How they may provide them and how they may not. The “why” is the new frontier and is being brought into line now.
Some of what is happening now is a consequence, IMHO, of a lie that was put into play over 50 years ago. The lie was that it was private companies that were discriminating against minorities in the South when in fact the companies were required by law to discriminate whether they wanted to or not. The teaching on this era always glosses over the role of government in this because the governments that passed and enforced the laws forcing racial discrimination by private companies were all run by Democrats.
This original lie now makes it much easier to see the businesses as needing to be forced into being like public utilities now since those evil ones 50 years ago were the villains back then too. Not spoken is that just as the Democrats forced businesses to act in accordance with their Party dogmas back then so too are they doing it once again. The dogmas may change, but the will to power stays the same. That is what is sacred to them.
You’re right, TW — what they meant was that we can’t legislate our morality. They, of course, will impose theirs by any means necessary.
and the traditional marriage side only started to “legislate morality” because the activist and their chosen judges tried to get their way via the courts. No one just said one day “let’s put one man, one woman on the ballot” it was not necessary.
Activist judges created a Catch-22 trap to get SSM but, that victory is still not enough.
The Gov. of California has discovered “It’s a different world. We have to act differently.”, and has in consequence announced mandatory water use controls.
But it’s odd, isn’t it, that the Gov. of California doesn’t simply go to the source of the problem, i.e., overpopulation in California of terribly and unreasonably privileged white people who vote Republican? He ought simply mandate these sorts leave his state, or else execute them and swiftly bring the population of California into line with the resources available.
You’ve almost convinced me about Utah, dicentra.
What are the gun laws like there?
>By being who we are in the face of their oppression, we become cultural guerrillas. Only our ability to maintain our organic organizations will make an ongoing resistance possible.
There is no party. There is no movement. We are all there is. And we had better make the most of it.
Our family is our army. Our religion and our convictions are our organization. Our mind is our weapon. Our battle is keeping these alive. Every battle we win organizes us, radicalizes us and builds us into a movement, a resistance of conviction and an organization of principle.
We are a human movement. Our resistance to the system defines us. Our victory will be a human victory. We will defeat the system by staying human, by keeping our families and our faith.
We will destroy the system by refusing to be controlled by it. We are not planning a revolution. Our lives are the revolution. <

Seriously?
Our concealed carry permits are the envy of the nation, unless the hipsters have been dinking around with them lately.
However, you can’t buy wine in grocery stores/quick-E-marts (just beer) and the alcohol laws are generally byzantine, incomprehensible, and as fickle as a breeze. If easy access to firewater is important to you, Park City is where you’d have to live. Nice place but overrun with Sundance Film Festival types.
Also, Richard Epstein provides a cogent legal case about “public accomodation” laws, the history of RFRA, and just leaving everyone else the hell alone.

> Even in the worst of times, they maintain the continuity of political thought. If some genuine political impulse emerges from this or that “pre-political” confrontation and is properly articulated early enough, thus increasing its chances of relative success, then this is frequently due to these isolated generals without an army who, because they have maintained the continuity of political thought in the face of enormous difficulties, can at the right moment enrich the new impulse with the fruits of their own political thinking. <

Wendover has easy access to Nevada liquor, along with casinos and such (Elko County is a legal-brothel county, though I don’t know if Wendover has any). And by living on the Utah side you would avoid two years of being Harry Reid’s constituent. Orrin Hatch ain’t great, but he ain’t Harry Reid.
This is not about gay marriage. The RFRA has been the only real successful challenge to Obamacare in the public eye. Gay weddings are just the easy way to de-legitimatize any religious objection to secular law.
So much for homeschoolers. Watch out, they’re next. Look for the headline, “Homeshool Group Cites ANTI-GAY Law in Abstinence Suit”. Also watch for the GOP to spend a lot of time “massaging” the Federal RFRA.
Aside, what gay couple in the world is going to have their wedding catered by a take-out pizza joint?
The chances of that pizza joint having to cater a gay wedding is about the same as mine getting gay married. Which is low. Real low. Almost non-existent. I mean, Denzel is still married, right?
