Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
From the article:
Tells you everything you need to know there. Yo, Gov – you put your signature to a bill that will open the door for legalized discrimination against marginalized peoples. And you did it behind closed doors surrounded by fellow bigots and god-whiners. Way to make a stand for “freedom” you spineless shitbag!
Sigh. Look at all those smiling bigots
Hm. Five minutes of Googling and reading make me think it’s a misnomer — it would be better called the Religious Exemption Restoration Act.
Isn’t the rule that churches get to keep their tax exemptions so long as they don’t meddle in politics??
Okay, IRS – get the list of everyone in that office. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Did you realize that families in America pay an average of $1,000 extra in taxes just so that Christians’ wasteful little private clubhouses – I mean “churches” – don’t have to pay their fair share? One analysis put the cost to society of the religious tax exemption at $71 BILLION in uncollected tax revenue (which the rest of us are having to make up). Let them pay.
Funny thing: At first glance I was wondering about what kind of “[un]holy alliance” they had managed to wangle with all those women wearing hijabs.
Those aren’t real ISIL!!? Where are their black flags and AK47s?
