Indiana's Religious Freedom Legislation

[Exterminator]

I love it!  I think THIS is the REAL VOICE in America!

Unfortunately, you are correct.  A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine had a 6 year old Friesian stallion with colic that needed emergency surgery that the vet would not perform unless she could first prove her ability to pay up to $10,000.00 for its care.  She isn't poor but couldn't come up with that much money on such short notice so she set up a Go Fund Me page and even offered to pay back every contribution.  She was barely able to raise $1,000.00 to save a life yet these idiots are up to a couple of hundred grand for nothing just because Glen Beck told people they should give them money.

And you hypocrites want to call liberals sheep?

The only solace I take in this story is that rednecks who suddenly get financial windfalls typically handle them poorly and these parasites will probably be dead within a couple of months.  And good fucking riddance!

Nope, I'm just sitting back and watching the money roll in for the good folks!!!

Because that's who you are.  You never actually do anything; you just run your mouth.

I wonder if that's taxable income to them.  I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.

Yes, but they won't understand that when they go on their spending spree.  I hope the media continues to follow them so I can laugh my ass off when they crash and burn.

This is a direct measure of discriminatory backers in this nation. I am surprised you do not see this. I wonder how much the tea billies have donated?

You sound very hateful....

Go a read the comments left by these folks.

All kinds of people.  Christian and some who aren't but who are tired of the MEDIA, who are doing EXACTLY what I have been claiming since this all happened...and that is the liberal hyperbole!

I am not wrong on this.  Just because a few of you on this liberal forum think that way, I'm here to tell you there are thousands out there, who are not Zealots, not tea billies...but hard working people.  I know I work with a bunch of them.  They are damn good folks, who get it.

THIS is a reflection of those hard working good people.....

Bullshit; they're a bunch of fucking bigots who started a storm and then want to cry when they get rained on.

They are low life scum bags who are rewarding intolerance and you are cheering them on even while you claim not to be a bigot yourself.

I need to start believing in ole' Jeezus, say some stupid bigoted crap about gay people in the name of my religion, claim persecution as a result of my comments, and set up my own Go Fund Me. 

As normal, you (or your counterparts, are reading from unreliable media)

Glenn Beck didn't start this...

Here is how this went down:


When asked by local press the hypothetical question of whether or not they'd prefer to have their family owned business, Memories Pizza, cater a gay wedding, the owner said no citing their own religious beliefs as the reason.

Rather than allowing this family to simply have their opinion, which they were asked to give, outraged people grabbed the torches and began a campaign to destroy this small business in small town Indiana.

All for having an opinion that is rooted in faith.

No one was turned away. No one was discriminated against. It was a hypothetical question asked by a news reporter who had questionable motives to begin with.

After being interviewed by Dana Loesch on her television show on Blaze TV, we learned that the family may never even reopen the doors to their restaurant as the death threats and vicious online reviews continue to pour in from the arbiters of "tolerance."

My name is Lawrence Jones, and I'm one of the television opinion contributors on Dana's show.

Before the televised interview, producers Rachel, Allison  and George  discussed the situation with Dana, myself and head writer Ben Howe. We all agreed: this family needs help to get through this assault.

So we set up a GoFundMe page with the modest goal of $25,000. The intent was to help the family stave off the burdensome cost of having the media parked out front, activists tearing them down, and no customers coming in.

Our goal was simply to help take one thing off this family's plate as the strangers sought to destroy them.

But other strangers came to the rescue and the total just keeps going up.

Thank you for helping us do some good for this family who were scared and in hiding just 24 hours before this writing.

All money, save whatever percentage GoFundMe takes, will be transferred directly to whichever bank account the O'Connors wish to use.

Show producers are in direct contact with the family to ensure that they never feel like they are being left out of what is going on.

Thank you to everyone for your generosity.

I wouldn't feel too sorry for the pizza place and its backward owners HH.  One of Glen Beck's Blaze TV hosts set up a Go Fund Me for the  Beck bots to donate to them.  And donate they did.  As of right now, it's up to $121,543.00.  The idiots are donating hundreds of dollars every few seconds.

^^ You must have missed that part right there. 

The Go Fund Me was announced on her show on Beck's Blaze network.

Dana has her own TV program, On Becks network, she also has a syndicated radio show.  It was also talked about on WIBC, FM Indy radio here, I heard that Limbaugh is talking about it on his show.

He's not real big on reading comprehension.

No, it is you who seems to have the comprehension problem. It was announced on his network, yes, but not by him so he did not start the campaign like ya'll are trying to say.
This is also a result of unfair reporting done by the lame stream media by trying to make something out of nothing for sensationalism. So they don't believe in same sex marriage, so what, they still serve gays in their restaurant so they aren't discriminating, they also didn't say they wouldn't cater a gay wedding they said they would prefer not to they did not say they wouldn't. They were tricked to put it bluntly and should have been asked if they would cater a gay wedding if asked. The answer would have most likely been they would even though they preferred not to. We'll never know for sure now though because they have been ruined for the sake of a sensational story and people like you just fan the flames.
