Indiana is doing just what the Leftist Juggernaut was hoping.<\/a> \u00a0It has passed a law that, even to my novice eyes, seems filled with problems and issues. \u00a0This was hoped. \u00a0Because now a very good case can be made that it should be repealed, or at least changed. \u00a0And once we go down that path, any hope for resistance will crumble. <\/p>\n

This was the beautiful part of the Leftist strategy. \u00a0Having promised that nobody would ever make people violate their religious conscience, in the wake of legalizing gay marriage, agents promptly went to work, seeking out religious photographers, bakers, and other entrepreneurs to force their hands and make them violate their religious conscience. Of course there are plenty of bakers and photographers and others who would gladly serve a gay wedding. \u00a0But that obviously wasn\u2019t the point. \u00a0The point was to set up a showdown like the one Indiana has stumbled into. <\/p>\n

And so now it is Indiana getting the law involved to protect hate and bigotry, while allowing discrimination. \u00a0Which is exactly how the Left frames it. \u00a0And since the Left holds monopolies in the pop culture, media and educational institutions of our country, that is how it will be presented.<\/p>\n

And because from all appearances, there are problems with the law as it stands, the inevitable defeat will occur down the road. \u00a0The law will be changed, repealed, something. \u00a0And once it is, those hoping to resist will splinter, give up hope, join the Left, and leave only a shard to keep the faith against growing resentment toward any who dare to resist. \u00a0Well done Indiana. \u00a0Heart in the right place. \u00a0But you can\u2019t always hope for good results against a power of darkness willing to throw all morals and righteousness out the window to achieve goals that are themselves wrong, if not evil.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
