First, they conned us into passing “hate crime” legislation, which made the beliefs and emotions of a criminal into crimes in and of themselves.
Having successfully shoved their feet into the door of tyranny, they are now moving to outlaw not just crimes, but also innocent actions that are based on beliefs and emotions that they cannot abide.

Mark Rienzi, Senior Counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents the Little Sisters of the Poor, says, “The federal government doesn’t need the Little Sisters or any other ministry to help it distribute abortion-inducing drugs and other contraceptives. Yet it not only insists on forcing them to participate in the delivery, it argues that their beliefs against participating are wrong and that government officials and judges can tell the Little Sisters what Catholic theology really requires. That’s wrong, and it’s dangerous — especially when those same government officials have disrespectfully compared the Sisters’ beliefs to ‘fighting an invisible dragon’ that can be vanquished with the ‘stroke of the [Sisters’] own pen.’”

The Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice is requiring that volunteers sign a document promising to never tell inmates that homosexuality is “sinful.”
Those who refuse are no longer permitted to volunteer.
One long-time, now former volunteer says the new regulations define anything less than affirmation of homosexuality as hateful and derogatory speech.
This includes Bible passages.
The American Pastors Network President Sam Rohrer said, “Pastors and all Americans must wake up to the reality of expanding efforts to cleanse our nation of all moral truth. When pastors and all Christians…are forced by government agents to renounce sharing the very reality of sin, they are in fact being prohibited from sharing the healing and life-changing potential of redemption.”
When the time comes for you to stand up, will you choose God or the government?

Daniel Bongino: Yesterday the Supreme Court “deferred” to the people and their legislators to defend liberalism. Today the Supreme Court ignored the people and their legislators to do the same. We have become completely unmoored from any judicial or constitutional restraint.
1 Tim 1:4 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions 2 through the hypocrisy of liars with branded consciences. 3 They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
2 Tim 3:1 But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days. 2 People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, 3 callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers 4 and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.

Clinton is taking the Debbie Wasserman Schultz position on the dismemberment of pain-capable babies. According to both of these TOP women in Democrat Party leadership, the “government should have NO role” in deciding where, when or how the lives of unborn babies get snuffed out.
Clinton also condemned the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision that upheld the conscience and religious rights of Pro-Life business owners to refuse to pay for abortifacient drugs. So obviously she believes government SHOULD have a role in deciding what religious beliefs and freedoms are acceptable and which must be violated and/or forcibly changed.
And just to be clear …
- This isn’t just about Debbie and Hillary.
- This is the POLICY of the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Granted, there’s nobody around so this will go largely unseen but there are times when one just has to vent. I am as sick and tired as most people are of a small minority flaunting their perverse lifestyle and bullying those of us who view this as being abhorrent behavior.

Christian Bakery Ordered to Pay $135,000 to Lesbian Couple
I would say this is unbelievable, but unfortunately, it’s not.
The Oregonian reports:
The lesbian couple turned away by a Gresham bakery that refused to make them a wedding cake for religious reasons should receive $135,000 in damages for their emotional suffering, a state hearings officer says.
Rachel Bowman-Cryer should collect $75,000 and her wife, Laurel Bowman-Cryer, $60,000 from the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, an administrative law judge for the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries said in a proposed order released Friday, April 24.
“This is a proposed order and we view this matter as continuing to be active litigation,” Paul Thompson, a lawyer for the Bowman-Cryers, said.
Anna Harmon, one of three attorneys representing Aaron and Melissa Klein, said, “It’s a shocking result and it shows the state’s relentless campaign to punish Oregonians who live and work according to their faith.”
WHEN THE NEWS BROKE, A GOFUNDME PAGE WAS SET UP AND IN A MATTER OF HOURS MORE THAN $100,000 HAD BEEN RECEIVED TO SUPPORT THE KLEINS. THEN THIS HAPPENED.
“Support Sweet Cakes by Melissa” GoFundMe Page Violates Terms
As for the decision, BOLI issued the following statement on Friday regarding the agency’s Proposed Order in the Sweet Cakes case: “The facts of this case clearly demonstrate that the Kleins’ unlawfully discriminated against the Complainants. Under Oregon law, businesses cannot discriminate or refuse service based on sexual orientation, just as they cannot turn customers away because of race, sex, disability, age or religion. Our agency is committed to fair and thorough enforcement of Oregon civil rights laws, including the Equality Act of 2007.”
Late on Friday GoFundMe stopped the Sweet Cakes campaign. Via GoFundMe: “After careful review by our team, we have found the “Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa” campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions. The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal. While a different campaign was recently permitted for a pizzeria in Indiana, no laws were violated and the campaign remained live. However, the subjects of the “Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa” campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled.”

Gay Group Cancels Charity Because Gay Hotel Owners Spoke Well of Ted Cruz
On Thursday, April 23, an openly gay hotel owner remarked on his Facebook page that he had accepted the opportunity to speak with GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz about LGBT issues.
Only a few hours passed before militant gays began to attack the man for daring to even speak to Cruz. Now, a day later, a gay organization has actually canceled a charity event at the hotel over the conversation.
APPARENTLY, YOU CAN’T ACCEPT SOMEONE AS A PERSON WITHOUT CELEBRATING THEIR SIN.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/24/gay-group-cancels-charity-because-gay-hotel-owners-spoke-well-of-ted-cruz/
Of course: Facebook page calls for boycott of gay businessmen who hosted reception for Ted Cruz.
Update: Charity cancels event in protest
Cruz’s statement about the reception last night was strong:
“It speaks volumes that the New York Times considers it newsworthy that a Republican who believes marriage is between a man and a woman would meet with people who hold a different view. The purpose of the meeting and the primary topics of conversation were national security, foreign policy, and America’s commitment to standing with Israel. On the subject of marriage, when asked, I stated directly and unambiguously what everyone in the room already knew, that I oppose gay marriage and I support traditional marriage…
“A conservative Republican who is willing to meet with individuals who do not agree on marriage and who loves his daughters unconditionally may not reflect the caricature of conservatives promoted by the left, but it’s hardly newsworthy.
Militant Progressives Message to America: Even Gays Will Be Made To Care
If you thought it would end with small town pizza parlors in Indiana and Oregon cake bakers, you would be wrong. The enforcement of militant liberal orthodoxy, having claimed a few scalps from moderate-income Christian business owners, now sets its sights even higher.
Our Editor Erick said over two years ago that “You Will Be Made To Care” and most people thought he was speaking just to evangelical Christians. Who would have guessed such a short time ago that the leftist thought police had much bigger plans in store. Everyone, and I mean everyone, will be brought to heel.

Big Gay Hate Machine Attempts to Take Over Congress
Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), a liberal from Colorado, just introduced a bill designed to make it illegal for his colleague Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to be a legislator—a position King, like Polis, is elected to under the terms laid out by the U.S. Constitution. Polis ostensibly introduced his bill, titled the “Restrain Steve King From Legislating Act,” in response to King introducing legislation that would ensure states—and not the federal government—handle the issue of same-sex marriage.
“For too long, Steve King has overstepped his constitutionally nonexistent judicial authority,” Polis said in a statement posted on his website. “Mr. King has perverted the Constitution to create rights to things such as discrimination, bullying, and disparate treatment.

April 1, 2015: Rush Limbaugh on bakery driven out of business by activist homosexual bullying
“It’s 10 people. We researched it. We know who the people are. We know where they live. Virtually 85% of all the so-called outrage e-mails and tweets are generated by 10 people, made to look as though they are thousands and thousands and thousands. It’s all fake. It’s all phony. It’s all part of a left-wing, massive smear operation. …It’s all strategized. It’s all organized. It all has, as its objective, being turned down. They target places that they think this is gonna happen, and then they’ve got their response ready to go to make it look like the whole nation.”
“CALLER: I just wanted to bring up a point that I think everybody seems to be missing when they’re screaming about cakes. This law has nothing to do with discriminating against anybody. All it provides for — whether you’re gay, a person of faith, or anybody else — is that you have standing in court to prove your case. Whether you’re the plaintiff or the defendant in the matter. It has nothing to do with somebody… You’ve got to go through people due process on whatever side of the equation you’re on. I think everybody conveniently forgets that, that’s screaming about wedding cakes.
“RUSH: Yeah, that’s true, but this argument… See, they don’t accept that, because they say that your refusal to serve a cake, bake a cake for a gay couple getting married, that’s discrimination. To you, you are simply behaving according to your religious beliefs, and you do not want to violate them, and you do not want to behave immorally. But you do not have that right. They call that… Fealty, devotion, loyalty, whatever — devotion to your religion — in this context, equals discrimination. Ergo, religion is bad, and it’s for closed-minded bigots and fruitcakes. That’s what they want you to believe.”

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. SD had some business in town so DW and I were charged with keeping Isabel and Olivia for most of the day. We took them to lunch, then to a park to burn off some of that excess energy. It was the warmest day so far this year, high in the upper 70’s, blue sky and a nice southerly breeze. I didn’t want the day to end because God signaled the annual renewal of life after a long cold spell.
After the children went home I fired up the Univac and what do I see? The government-supported blitzkreig had not only crushed Mike Pence in Indiana, but also Asa Hutchinson in Arkansas. All the republicans cut and ran from the phony charge of sexual discrimination and fell all over themselves to placate the UDSCMA (Union of Dick Smokers and Carpet Munchers of America). For only being 2-3% of the population they sure get a lot of special privileges.
Then an article caught my eye about the Gay Nazi Brigade coming down on a mom-and-pop pizzeria for saying they would serve gays, but not cater homosexual weddings. Excuse me? Who the hell serves PIZZA at a wedding reception? It didn’t matter. It was all the excuse they needed to vent their wrath on a simple business couple.
They got so much hate directed at them, they were forced to close and perhaps never reopen. Ah, but never underestimate pissed-off Christians. Here’s the timeline:
Indiana’s ‘Memories Pizza’ FORCED TO SHUT DOWN Due to Threats After Gay Comments
A Walkerton, Indiana pizza shop told an Indiana news channel they would not provide pizzas at a gay wedding.
The O’Connor family said they were not discriminating against anyone – they just wouldn’t cater at a gay wedding.
Kevin O’Connor tells TMZ he’s had to temporarily close his business after he told a reporter he would refuse to cater a gay wedding under Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
ADDED by CtH:
O’Connor says he was immediately flooded by threatening phone calls, and social media postings.
A GoFundMe page was set up on Tuesday to help out the restaurant owners.
Already $23,000 has been raised online for the family.

ONE ANGRY, MAN-HATING BUTCH IS BEHIND THE WHOLE THING
ANGRY CHRISTIAN HATING LESBIAN: Coach Suspended After Threatening to Burn Down Christian Pizzeria
Posted on April 1, 2015
This teacher and coach has been suspended after threatening to burn down the Christian pizzeria in Indiana that said they wouldn’t cater a gay wedding.
The head coach of an Indiana high school girl’s golf team has been suspended after apparently threatening to burn down a Christian-owned pizzeria.
Jess Dooley, a coach at Concord High School of Elkhart, Indiana allegedly struck out at the owner of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, IN who made news on Tuesday by saying that she would not cater a wedding if a gay couple tried to hire her for the job, after the state passed its own Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
“We are a Christian establishment,” pizza shop owner told the media.
On the heels of the news from the pizza shop, coach Dooley allegedly took to Twitter to say, “Who’s going to Walkerton, IN to burn down #memoriespizza w me? Agree with #FreedomofReligion bill? “That’s a lifestyle they CHOOSE” Ignorant.”
Not long after the Tweet was posted, the entire Twitter account under Dooley’s Twitter handle “@dooley_11″ was deleted.
By Wednesday, the school had reported that the coach was suspended pending an investigation of her comments.

The Daily Caller reported that Lawrence Billy Jones III launched the funding drive over Memories Pizza’s stance on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Jones is an investigative reporter for Dana Loesch, a conservative radio host for The Blaze.
All donations, he said, would transfer to a bank account selected by restaurant owners Kevin and Crystal O’Connor once the cash call ended.
