Tony Perkins: Anybody With Half A Brain Wouldn’t Want Extremist PayPal In Their State Anyway

Not The Onion!

http://www.joemygod.com/2016/04/06/tony-perkins-anybody-with-half-a-brain-wouldnt-want-extremist-paypal-in-their-state-anyway/

Via press release:

PayPal may be the Left’s friend, but it’s no pal of North Carolina’s! The money transfer service announced this morning that it’s canceling the company’s Charlotte expansion because the state won’t force young girls to share bathrooms and showers with grown men. Company CEO Dan Schulman is so outraged that North Carolina listened to its people and not out-of-state radicals that he’s moving his new branch to a different location. Good riddance! Anyone with half a brain shouldn’t want that kind of extremism operating out of North Carolina anyway. There was a time, not too long ago, when most corporations would have probably moved out of a state if it did allow such lunacy.

Now that Big Business has been co-opted by LGBT activists, it’s not just demanding — but punishing — anyone who thinks the safety and privacy of our daughters is too much to pay for political correctness. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman lashed out at the legislature, Governor Pat McCrory (R), and the 70 percent of the state that supported the move, arguing that H.B. 2 “perpetrates discrimination, and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture.” So PayPal values government intrusion and interference? Because that’s what North Carolina is trying to prevent.

Tony? A little word of advice? I know you're a busy guy and everything, and raising lots of money from easily scared little old ladies of both sexes isn't easy, but . . . Well, let's just put it this way: If you don't know what you're talking about, you might consider shutting up more until you do know what you're talking about.

I always choose to follow the morality of giant corporations. They clearly have the very best of intentions.

Remember the old story of the Frog and the Scorpion.
Pay Pal's International HQ is in Singapore, a country that will jail LGBT people for 2 yrs for same sex acts.
Pay Pal is also in Dubai UAE.

So who's Ox is getting gored.

P.S. They are also a financial predator.
