Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and Responsibility for Evil

[Matt D]

How can we decipher the media propaganda around Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act? In my opinion, the media reaction demonstrates a recurring pattern of finding a scapegoat for wrongdoers.

 

It goes something like this: "Hey look! Someone is doing bad things with their property... we need a war on drugs, a war on guns, a war on free speech, or a war on freedom because bad people are actually not the ones responsible for their actions."

Customers boycotting businesses they disagree with = a moral good.

 

Businesses boycotting customers they disagree with = a moral evil.

So true.

Customers boycotting businesses they disagree with = a moral good.

 

Businesses boycotting customers they disagree with = a moral evil.

 

I wonder if any of the leftists who make these wildly non-universal moral statements have ever spent even one day in the presence of an actual business owner. If they had, they would know that the supposedly infinite power that the 'fat cats' hold is dwarfed by the pulls of customers, shareholders, and employees, and you spend your entire day focused on how to make as many people happy as possible. The real system of checks and balances is freedom of association.

crazy radical anybody walks into my store I'd probably refuse to do business with them, since its already been established, they're crazy and radical. The gay thing is incidental to the fact that they want to sue you for not catering their wedding.

Isn't the use of the phrase, religious freedom, a bit of a misnomer? Who frees a child from the burden of being brainwashed by his family's religion? That would be real religious freedom; the privilege of growing up free from irrational people.
