Indiana - freedom act and other stuff...

My feelings on this whole topic, here and in the nation as a whole is that we sure can get worked up about things that are distractions to the problems that surround us.

I agree. IMO these types of laws, both NDA and RFRA, is legislation in search of a problem. The gay community by and large is not facing discrimination from society (especially compared to specific Jim Crow type laws that blacks faced decades ago) and the Christian community isn't being forced to do anything outside of NDA legislation that has been passed in some states. A Rush e-mail update from a few days ago said it best, "Who can't find a gay florist."

I think so. But it's a self-licking ice cream cone. People want special rights, others want protections for the special rights the first group got.

Let the markets decide; that's the best bet. But...people wanna feel SPECIAL. People want their habits legitimized by law, rather than just living their preferences, they will not stop until the whole world is forced into accepting THEIR beliefs. Todays militant Gays are not a lot different than ISIS in terms of zeal, and desire to force the world into their beliefs.

Excellent post. Pure excellence.
