The Republican Party is constantly saying that they want to expand their party to include blacks, Hispanics, and even LGBT Americans. But their actions consistently betray their promises.

For example: The Republican National Committee (RNC) has just given its blessing and backing to the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA). They are even urging Congress to pass this bill which would allow for discrimination against the LGBT community….READ MORE at  LiberalAmerica

        i can’t say so much surprised, but, it has just gotten so insane.

        • rg9rts August 25th, 2015 at 09:33

          Only because we are old enough to remember sanity

    Under the guise of “religious freedom,” the law would prevent supposed “discrimination” in how the federal government awards contracts, explicitly stating that if someone is opposed to fill-in-the-blank, they could still get federal contracts and federal money.

    Forget the blowback, think of the clusterf*ck that would occure when that can of worms was opened. How many religions, sects are there? (Shudders at the thought.)

    Please tell me why I should be surprised at this.

      You shouldn’t and this should be expected. We do need to keep reminding everyone of the ignorance they continue to perpetuate. If you listen to rumpster, you would think all women and every minority love everything he does but if you listen to others and read up on what he has put forth as policy issues you would know the opposite is the truth.

    You can’t tell if a Republican is coming or going because they have a face on both the front and the back of their heads. Two Faced Bigots.

    FADA will not pass Constitutional muster.

    • whatthe46 August 24th, 2015 at 21:56

      what in the hell is wrong with people? i swear it’s like they go to bed and dream of stupid shit they can come up with to make life so difficult for everyone. none of what’s going on in the LGBT community is affecting their daily living whatsoever.

    Keep digging that hole Republicans, please keep digging it’s almost deep enough to lay your a$$ in!

    Basically this bill is saying; I’m a bigot and you shouldn’t discriminate against me because I discriminate.

  8. rg9rts August 25th, 2015 at 08:57

    Is there ANYONE they haven’t put down??

  9. AnthonyLook August 25th, 2015 at 12:44

    What’s wrong with them? The common denominator is their self serving fake religions that they have fashioned and interpreted to justify their own ills of racism, sexism, and bigotry. Take heart that we have a Constitution that (when not stacked with bought and paid for judges) works efficiently.
