Michigan's Speaker attempts to hang on to his working capital by working around the fringe.
Presumably making it acceptable for Jase Bolger to accept the $100,000.00 from Pro-Homosexual millionaires, he offers butter for the burn.
Pretending that he opposes the changes in the Elliot Larsen Civil Rights Act proposed by Dems, he offers a fig leaf. From M-Live:
“Bolger is exploring the possibility of pairing an Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act amendment with a Michigan version of the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which aims to limit laws that would substantially burden a person’s free exercise of religion.
“I believe our society’s got to get this right, and we’ve got to get this right more than we’ve got to get it now,” Bolger, R-Marshall, told MLive. “That right, for me, is one that respects and protects individual freedom and religious liberty. It’s just so much easier to say than to do.”
Right. Individual freedom.
Though there has never been a case that any of us can recall where a person was told; “No you cannot go schtoop your friend because you are the same gender,” its critical that we protect that freedom. Even though most of us are perfectly willing close our eyes, and let the deviancy play itself out with the shortened life spans, and emotional destruction that envelops such behavior.
If a ‘Religious exemption’ is all it takes, then everyone who has conscience could claim it as a reason if sued by a queer who are butt-hurt over losing the apartment, job, service, smile, etc., that they want. Right? Certainly that clears things up to take the pressure off.
Until we realize they still have a platform from which to launch a lawsuit. Bolger is playing the same dangerous game that the Vichy GOP has been playing for years, resulting in a corrupted party, with heavy internal fighting.
Dumb move.
Please, do not tell us that you truly are surprised by Bolger's actions.
As for the part about "a corrupt party, with heavy internal infighting," well, that should not shock anyone, either.
Undervote the statewide ticket - Ruth Johnson, only.
Piss on the Nerd and Schuette.
