Pressure mounts on Arizona governor to veto bill protecting businesses that refuse services

Image
PHOENIX, AZ , February 26, 2014 – The backlash created by the  recent passage of Arizona’s SB 1092 , a bill to protect the religious freedom of business owners, continues to escalate as politicians, both Democrat and Republican, and various Arizonan businesses and public officials urge Governor Jan Brewer to veto the bill. Last week, SB 1062 was passed by Arizona’s legislature.  The bill protects business owners from lawsuits filed as a result of refusing their services to potential customers on the basis of religious belief.  This legislation has been blasted by both Republicans and Democrats as being discriminatory and biased, as it would allow business owners to deny working with and for same-sex “weddings.” Arizona’s Republican federal senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake ,  have declared their opposition to the bill .  “I know that the entire business community is galvanized, in a way that I’ve never seen, against this legislation,” said McCain.  In an interview with

Immoral Homosexual propaganda campaign takes offensive turn

( renewamerica.com ) – Offending the moral sensibilities of millions of Americans, Time Magazine is featuring  cover stories  showing two white homosexual couples kissing. The Right Scoop   blog  ran a "censored version of the offensive covers." Adjusted Time magazine covers from Right Scoop blog covering offensive kisses. John Aravosis , the homosexual activist who runs Americablog.com, said this is part of a propaganda campaign to normalize homosexuality. He said, "The kiss has been quite a powerful political weapon in the gay arsenal for a while now. And checking our archives, it's rather amazing how important the 'gay kiss' has been to our political struggle over the years." The purpose is to desensitize people to homosexuality and increase acceptance of the lifestyle. Media bias is also evident in the influence of the media-funded National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association ( NLGJA ). The NLGJA  says  coverage of the h

Self serving gays don't care about others treated unequally

Last week, Rush Limbaugh said he thought the battle over marriage was lost as soon as rhetorical concessions such as “ same-sex marriage ” versus “ traditional marriage ” were made: The language game , the left really excels at changing the language to benefit them politically, and they do it in such a way that a lot of people on our side have no idea what’s happened until it’s too late and the issue is already lost, which this issue is. This issue is lost. I don’t care what the Supreme Court does, this is now inevitable — and it’s inevitable because we lost the language on this. I mentioned the other day that I’ve heard people talk about “opposite-sex marriage,” or you might have had heard people say “traditional marriage.” You might have heard people say “hetero-marriage.” I maintain to you that we lost the issue when we started allowing the word “marriage” to be bastardized and redefined by simply adding words to it, because marriage is one thing, and it was not established o

Limbaugh: Will Homosexual “marriage” lead to “normalization” of pedophilia

PALM BEACH, January 9, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Conservative radio heavyweight Rush Limbaugh outraged homosexual advocates  Monday  by comparing the movement to normalize pedophilia to the recent groundswell of public support for same-sex ‘marriage.’ Referring to a  recent article  in the British paper The Guardian detailing the growing number of academics seeking to reclassify pedophilia as a ‘ sexual orientation ,’ Limbaugh said, “There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage .”  Rush Limbaugh website The talk show host suggested that just as the idea of homosexual ‘marriage’ was once shocking, but has become commonplace, pedophilia may follow the same path to cultural acceptance.   “What has happened to gay marriage?” said Limbaugh. “It’s become normal — and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics it’s the most important issu

Speech crimes and brazen homosexuality

Fifteen years ago James Twitchel’s  For Shame: The Loss of Common Decency in American Culture  argued for the socially redeeming character of shame: “Shame is the basis of individual responsibility …It is where de­cency comes from…   shame inhibits behavior— that's the point. It retards action, it increases reticence, it invokes self‑censorship. Its final object is not banishment, but reintegration.” Twitchell’s book describes a past moral ethos eroded by an ideology of radical sexual freedom that shamelessly rejected the “old ways.”  In 1996 Senator Fred Thomson said of Bill Clinton: “He is a man of his times…He literally has no shame.” And Bill agreed, saying: “I do not regard this impeachment vote as some badge of shame.” But shaming has not disappeared. It is now used to punish speech   against  the new reigning orthodoxy of politically correct relativism, rather than to condemn personally reprehensible moral acts. People lose their jobs because of one misplaced word.  Pat
