WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah, who once predicted that “millions of Americans” would flee the country if the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality, is out with a column today criticizing Georgia Republican Gov. Nathan Deal for vetoing a bill that would have allowed discrimination against LGBT people under the guise of “religious liberty.”
Farah declared that without such a law, “[i]t’s the end of the First Amendment and the constitutional principles that make the country a sanctuary of liberty for 300 years.”
The LGBT community, according to Farah, is practicing “bigotry of the worst kind” and “persecuting” conservative Christians: “This kind of terrorism, and I use that word advisedly, is going to cause a major backlash.”
“Long gone are the days when homosexuals faced discrimination,” he added. “Today, some of them are actively targeted [sic] others with something worse. And they are being actively encouraged by corporate interests and weak-kneed, limp-wristed politicians like Gov. Deal.”
It’s sickening to see this happening in America.
It’s coercion of the worst kind.
It’s bigotry of the worst kind.
It’s the end of the First Amendment and the constitutional principles that make the country a sanctuary of liberty for 300 years.
You cannot establish individual rights by trampling on the rights of others. It’s a simple principle.
In America, everyone’s God-given rights are to be protected. But no one has the right to demand that a bakery make a cake that is morally offensive to the baker. Get a life, for heaven’s sake. Go to another baker who shares your view of the world. Don’t force your will on others.
Isn’t that supposedly what the LGBTQ crowd is all about – doing your own thing?
It’s not the bakers who are breaking down the door of the homosexual couple and persecuting them. It’s the other way around.
And this must stop.
This kind of terrorism, and I use that word advisedly, is going to cause a major backlash.
Long gone are the days when homosexuals faced discrimination. Today, some of them are actively targeted others with something worse. And they are being actively encouraged by corporate interests and weak-kneed, limp-wristed politicians like Gov. Deal.
