Computer people are in demand ... finding enough of them who are willing to move to 1955 is going to be difficult.

They mean sincerely held Christian beliefs. Other religions can just fuck off, except if they hate the gays ... for that, they get a free ride.

Bobby ain't as smart as Chris Hayes - he's preaching to the fucknuts what elected him.

Traditional marriage is between one man and his 900 wives and 600 concubines.

I just read Gov. Jindal's article in the NYT (Bobby Jindal: I’m Holding Firm Against Gay Marriage

{http://www.nytimes.com/2015...}

I can't imagine how this hypocrite dumb moron got to be the governor of Louisiana.

Firstly, he states that how it is very conducive for businesses to harbor their own bigoted views on marriage and other matters. It helps them grow and in turn helps our country to grow.

Then he mentions how governments should be prosecuted for denying any person, business, entity etc. benefits on the basis of his views on marriage. Let's say this line is fine.

But in the next line he defends a business owner's right to deny service to his/her customers because of the business owner's view on gay marriages. This is just being hypocritical. Conservative or not, hypocrites are never tolerated in any country.

Further on, he mentions how protecting one's freedom to practice religious rights has been the foundation of America. I don't know about that, BUT TOLERANCE AND ACCEPTANCE OF A PERSON WHO HIMSELF/HERSELF IS INTOLERANT TOWARDS OTHERS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR VIEWS ON MARRIAGES CAN NEVER BE THE FOUNDATION OF ANY SOCIETY.

Later towards the end, Gov. Jindal rants on about how leftists and Hollywood are destroying America's conservative core by pressurizing the industry giants.

Finally, he states that Republicans hold majority of the governorships in USA and control majority of the policy-making. Is that a veiled threat to liberal minority? Who is he trying to convince?

The man is totally lost. Not only is he grossly mistaken on his stand on religious freedom but also knows nothing about the stand that his own Republican Party has taken on the matter of Gay marriages.

Oh vey! I know the Repubs like to white wash the truth but I have seen hemophiliacs that are not as white as that painting.

The media could use that painting of Bobby as the stock photo for Generic Republican Man.

Perhaps we should point out that the caterer would not be catering a gay wedding. He or she would be catering a wedding. You set the plate down in front of each person, and it's irrelevant to the completion of your duties what gender each person in the wedding party is.

No, Johnny, cupcake. That's NOT what I said.

I'll thank you NOT to put words in my mouth.

You've pulled that trick more than once, claiming to be rephrasing what other people said as you promote your own silly agenda.

What I SAID was that the fact that the people are Satanists is IMMATERIAL to the serving of food that the staff will be doing.

That's not saying the staff has to be "satanic friendly."

That's saying that the staff has to do their jobs regardless of how they feel about the people who are eating the food they serve.

Everyone in Louisiana should call him by his real name, Piyush. That'll really piss him off.
