You nailed it!! I was searching the memory for the cartoonish character he reminded me of but the closest I got was The Joker. Maybe we should create a hybrid and call him The Cruzer: more sinister than The Joker, but also a family man whose roots are in the 19th century. Has a black cape at home and big plans for the U.S.; he has expanded the scope of his goals from Gotham to the entire country.

God. The right to religious liberty means separation of church and state. Not THAT OTHERS HAVE TO ABIDE BY YOUR SCREWY BAPTIST RELIGION.

As far as “renegade” That’s Ted. The open secret in DC is everyone hates him for being a pompous ass megalomaniac among well mannered megalomanic members.

Which means Ted should fit right in with the South Carolina’s less than charming liars, such as, Joe Wilson, Viers, Sanford. Is it something in the water?

apparently the wedding chapel was a secular business. and the pastor’s sermons were subpoenaed because they sued the city over an lgbt ordinance and the city was gathering evidence that they may have endorsed political positions in their sermons.

The suit was about the city rejecting a petition for a referendum on the LGBT rights law passed by the city. The mayor gave up on the subpoena and the court forced a referendum and the LGBT rights law was rejected today by two thirds of the voters.

Simmer down now, simmer down.

You are both cherry picking to an extent. However in Matthew Jesus was speaking about the Pharisees and I think we can all agree that our modern politicians have much more in common with the Pharisees than you average run of the mill Christian.

From Matthew Henry’s Commentary:
The Scribes and Pharisees were guilty of two great faults in prayer, vain-glory and vain repetitions.

No one said it should be a crime, but if I were a politician trying to be a good Christina politician I think avoiding anything the Pharisees were involved with would be a good start. I’m not offended either and no offending anyone should not be a crime. My point was you were both cherry picking but CiC might have picked a little bit sweeter cherry for the discussion at hand.

Matthew Henry wasn’t implying legal guilt when he said guilty it was more guilty of the sin of….These would fall under pride would they not.

The block excerpts in the article above did document religious rights being criminalized.

I would serve gays in a religious ceremony, but I defend those who refuse.

The college student and the football coach openly defy the US Constitution. The pastor and the wedding chapel operators continue to push the narrative that it is perfectly acceptable to discriminate against the LGBT community. Ted Cruz parades all of them around in front his salivating base. I’m confident that this stunt will go over very well in South Carolina, at that joke of a Sunday School, Bob Jones University, and many other places in the South, but I don’t think this creates a path to the White House. Why do Republicans cheer this stuff?

1. Because Obama is a radical Islamic Muslim seeking to destroy the Judeo Christian foundation in this country.
2.Because Democrats are Godless,souless creatures.
3.Because it exposes you for what YOU are-EVIL.

1, 2, and 3 expose you for what you are. One of the ignorant characters invited into the once respectable Republican party for your vote, but now infects the party to the point that is too sick to carry national elections and may be on its last days.

By all means, carry on.

That is one of the most succinct commentaries on the 21st century once-upon-a-time Grand Old Party I have heard.

Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan was on ‘Morning Joe’ today lamenting the splintering into factions of the GOP.
She seemed oblivious – or, just did not want to admit – that Reagan set it ALL in motion by killing the Fairness Doctrine and facilitating the selling of citizenship to Rupert Murdoch so that he could realize Nixon’s dream and set up a permanent Republican propaganda operation with Nixon acolyte Roger Ailes.

The Republican Party and the nation would not be where it and we are today if Rush Limbaugh and Fox News had to operate under the Fairness Doctrine rules.

The consequences of free speech are not always pretty. The impact of the fairness docterine was to suppress speech not fairness.

The end of the “ffairness doctrine” is another one of Reagan’s achievements.

Just curious – Are you old enough to remember how the broadcast media operated with the Fairness Doctrine?

Yes, radio was in decline. There was no political programs. I can’t name a radio pundit before Rush. Paul Harvey was it.

He operated in a local market and went national in 1987, the year after the death of the Fairness Doctrine.
But, radio in decline is not the issue and I don’t know if that’s
so. Do you think ripping apart the social fabric of the country with the kind of vitriol that Limbaugh represents has improved the country?
When the Fairness Doctrine was in effect, both sides had to be represented, not just the rantings and ravings of one side.
It was what fair and balanced really means.

Our nation’s social fabric was in greater danger under the fairness doctrine which began in 1949.
McCarthyism
Civil rights movement
Vietnam War.

There was more violence under the fairness doctrine because outlets of protest on the airwaves were suppressed

It’s not just Limbaugh who is protected. Don’t forget Sharpton and others.

Whether Rush is good for the nation or not is not the role of government. We survived the “Yellow Jounalism” of the nineteenth century with our freedoms intact. I think we can survive Limbaugh. I’m not sure we would survive if the the government was the referee of free speech.

Liberals often fail to distinguish between good intentions and how things actually work. Instead of fairness, people’s voices were silenced.

I know it didn’t work, because their was hardly any political talk on radio under the fairness docterine. I suppose from your perspective it worked because the voices silenced were those you disagreed with.

Oh yeah, there’s no vitriol coming from the left, huh? Come one, get real. You don’t listen to Limbaugh on a regular basis so stop with the unsubstantiated nonsense. It’s only “ripping the social fabric” of liberalism. There are plenty of “rantings and ravings” coming from all different sides. The bottom line is that you want to silence those you don’t agree and you don’t even know that you don’t agree with, you’ve just marginalized them in your head based on myths about them.

Because fundamentalism. Fundamentalism has core principles; that they are speakers for God, THE holders of THE TRUTH. everyone who disagrees with them is not only wrong but inferior (and in extreme cases, subhuman–therefore no rights); that negotiating would imply and infer that the non-fundamentalists are equals, which is contrary to beliefs (or attitudes, at the least); that to get it “right” others need to think and be like them.

That smugness and condescension–that “sometimes wrong but never uncertain’ attitude you thought you sniffed, that black-and-white absolutism, well….

Then there is the “religious liberty” case right there in Texas. Home-schooling parents are being prosecuted for not teaching their nine children anything — because they expect to be raptured soon, so why bother?

This is an award-winning thread; it wins an award for the most angry, hostile trolling of any thread I’ve seen on FITS. Maybe you guys should should make a plan to all get together, have angry sex, and get it out of your system.

The Odgaards refused to rent their wedding chapel to a same-sex couple for a wedding after the husband learned it was a gay wedding. The couple stated that the wedding chapel is an “expression of their faith” and that is why they think they are being discriminated against. Seems to me that the wedding chapel is a business and renting it out is a commercial transaction or even contractual transaction. They settled for $5000 and admit that business had been slowing at the chapel of the last couple of years and that the boycotts that followed their refusal to rent were the final nail in forcing them to close their business.

So, seems they are complaining about having their perceived right to discriminate blocked, framing it as a “violation of their religious freedom”. Speaking of reframing, Cruz is a master.
