And the stupid companies that are allergic to money will not get any from those groups or me or you and won't long be in business. I don't have a problem with putting companies run by bigots out of business.
So Tim Cook says I can't tell him who he can or cannot 'love,' but HE can tell ME what I can or cannot believe?
Oh yeah among all the other agendas, it had to be homosexuality. Biased much?
I don't care about him stating his personal opinions. Don't rope the company in (Which has been so quiet on almost every other issue)
All those "private business" get tax payer handouts in the form of tax breaks and other incentives Joe Q. Public doesn't. So how about the state says 'get since you want the freedom to discriminate against some whose taxes help your business." "How about we give you no help?" Let you TRUELY be a private business???
I admire companies much more that take stands instead of sit idly by. It's MUCH easier to sit on the fence than take a stand.
I admire Chick-Fil-A for staying closed on Sundays - even though I don't agree with their ideals. They are taking a stand - and I feel that they are more 'honest' of a company than, say, Burger King, because of this.
Tim Cook IS doing something about it - he's speaking out. There's not going to be a knee-jerk reaction within 48 hours of closing all Indiana Apple Stores. That's pointless. Have the story run through the press, wait to see what is happening in the next few weeks and months. At some point, if nothing changes, then Tim Cook can do more. Somehow, 'internet time' means people need to react immediately. I don't get it.
Liberals misreporting things. You don't say.
Why are you using the world 'liberals' when 'conservative' fox news misreports MORE.

I've told you what I don't agree with, please get back to me when you can show that your source is actually credible

You don't agree with the name of the blog. Perfect.
Then every business that does not want to serve the entire population should have to post a sign stating so. So the rest of us can decide if we want to support such businesses.

Seeing the video of Pence's performance on ABC's news talk show yesterday was really a trip to bizarro land...
He squawked repeatedly that 'this is not about discrimination', and yet there is no other way to see the law.
It made me wonder who forced him into this, and what they have on him. There was no defense, no matter how much he sighed and rolled his eyes.
Allowing someone, in the pretense of 'religious freedom' to not serve, or provide services to anyone (gays) IS discrimination. The person, or entity, is singling our a group, or sub group and refusing to serve or sell to them. That's not 'sharing the love' now, is it...

Too bad you weren't around in the 60's ... you could have saved us from the Civil Rights Act.
