"Slavery?"
Tea Party Nation: Brewer's Veto Imposed 'Slavery,' Mandatory Penis Cakes For 'Homosexual Weddings'
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 2/27/2014 10:15 am
Judson Phillips, president of Tea Party Nation, is a little upset about Arizona Gov. Jan Brewers decision last night to veto a bill that would have expanded the ability of business owners to discriminate against LGBT people and others. Tyranny is on the march, Phillips declares in a piece on the TPN website that he also emailed to members of the group, adding that business owners who are not allowed to discriminate against gays and lesbians are slaves to the great liberal state, aided by French Republicans like Brewer. The left and the homosexual lobby are both pushing slavery using the Orwellian concepts of tolerance and inclusiveness, he writes.

The bigots are so anxious to discriminate that their reasons just fall apart when considered for more than 2 seconds.

(39,961 posts)cakes for women who are expecting that have a baby exploding from a woman's vagina complete with strawberry jam? My God. It's not like I'm going to voluntarily ever go to a baby shower, but even if pressed, I'd freak the fuck out on that and leave pronto.

(1,289 posts)What I don't understand is, why aren't the happy about this? As I understand it, the reason for the veto was because some big money players expressed displeasure with the proposed law and that's why she whipped out her veto pen. I mean, aren't most of these teabagger types pro-capitalist Koch loving supporters of Citizens United etc etc?
I can't understand why they wouldn't be happy with a win for the forces of big capitalism?

(41,833 posts)After all, the NFL promised to have the Superbowl some where else, and the MLB ,...well I am sure they would do something in regards to passing of the Bill. Both are Huge Money for Arizona. Money talks and Republicans listen. Brewer, was stuck between a ROCK and a Hard Place.
So... maybe Mr. Phillips should Boycott the NFL and MLB... Wanna bet he has seasons tickets to some team?
