2015-04-10 Home Front: Culture Wars
Memories Pizza announces its plans for that $842,000 you gave them
[CanadaFreePress] "They revealed they are set to share their new fortune with disabled children, a women's help group, firefighters, police trusts, Christian churches, and Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman, 70, who was fined after declaring she would not serve a gay wedding."

You may recall that the elderly florist was slapped with a $1,000 fine last month after she declined to sell flowers for the 2013 wedding of longtime gay customers. A judge ruled that Stutzman, a Christian with deeply-held religious beliefs, violated the Washington state law against discrimination.

As for his religious beliefs and how they may have been influenced by the furor over his pizza parlor's backing of Indiana's recently enacted Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Kevin O'Connor tells The Daily Mail he still feels the same about not supporting a gay marriage celebration.

"'If any child of mine came out as gay and entered into a gay marriage, I would still love them, but Daddy wouldn't be going to the wedding.'"

#1 The culture wars go on, and on and on. People don't like to be forced to do anything--they tend to dig their heels in--no matter what the cause.

#2 Seems a lot of 'little' folk are willing to 'die on that hill'. I wonder if the other side understands that when you push too hard, they too will be asked (and then dragooned into a conflagration) if they're willing to 'give the last full measure of devotion'?

Since Marxist suppress real human history, most people don't understand the nature of the Thirty Years War (think Sunni-Shiite) and its effect on the Founders and why they gave such strong support for the 1st Amendment guarantees of Freedom of Religion. That issue has been buried for two hundred years. Someone is stupidly reviving it.

#3 I thought they killed God during the Thirty Years War.
