Dealing Only With Whomever We Please

ARKANSAS SENATOR "tall" Tom Cotton is under siege from the nineteen million member army of Miley Cyrus, the former and forever Hannah Montana.thus spoke Tall Tom: "gays and lesbians should have a sense of perspective", or some such platitudinous drivel. So should we all, Tall Tom, so should we all. Thus, your comment is vague at best, meaningless at worst. Translation: queers are immoral, because they are offensive to my phony assed pretentious Christian morality, and they should go away, quit bothering me by existing, and stop complaining about bearing the brunt of Christian right wing discriminatory hypocrisy. Hypocrisy? Judge not. Love one another.My my, all that inconvenient Jesus of Nazareth talk. Republican law makers in culturally backwards places like Arkansas, Indiana, and other American states feign fear that their beliefs will be threatened with extinction unless they enshrine their beliefs in the law. The Ten Commandments on pillars, in front of capitol buildings. They forget that belief is a thought, and that no sure method of thought control has ever been devised, short of torture, brainwashing, and psychoactive drugs. but Miley's minions are on to the Cotton fraud,and are tweeting, voice messaging and facebooking Tall Tom to distraction. Tom, predictably, is pretending that nothing is happening. So would I, were I he, which, I am grateful to not be. Miley Cyrus understands what conservative Christians apparently do not: you can believe whatever you want, and nobody and no law has the power to do a damned thing about it. So why the rush to legislative bigotry, other than a perverted need to express hatred through the exercise power? The problem stats when somebody tries to codify personal religious beliefs in civil law, which, by definition, is secular. the fact that you sell a pizza to a gay person does not in any way indicate that you approve of homosexuality; it means, simply, that money from gay folk spends just as well as straight cash. You get paid, gay folks get to eat, and no law is required to affirm your right to believe and worship as you choose. Unless, of course, your true intent is to starve out the gay community. If we all acquire the right to refuse service to anyone of whom we disapprove, in a business which claims to be "open to the public", we will soon live in a nation of Christian only retailers, conservative only retailers, or only customers whose lifestyles and beliefs echo those of the business owner businesses. and that might be best for our self esteem, if not our gross sales and revenue.
