Certain minority groups around the country use oppressive methods to get what they want, and the government needs to protect their targets.
Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City, recently filed a bill known as the “Pastor Protection Act” to protect religious organizations and their employees from having to perform marriages that go against their religious beliefs. This bill also allows them to deny goods and services to that marriage.
It needs to go further to mirror Georgia’s proposed law, which would allow businesses to refuse services based on their religious views of marriage.
Martin Luther King, Jr. brought about change the constitutionally correct way. He and his followers peacefully marched and protested for change, and they were successful. Why can’t groups today do the same?
The answer is obvious. They only care about themselves. Bakeries around the country are sued because of their religious freedom, riots sprung in Ferguson, Missouri, after an officer protected himself and nude people paraded and called it gay pride.
Terrible people in this country wrongfully oppress certain groups and are condemned for it. Everyone has the right to do what they want and be what they want without persecution if it does not harm others.
Rioting and persecuting people for their religious beliefs are not the actions of normal, mentally stable humans who want “rights.” We need to stop holding people’s hands to make them feel better and tell them to write a book if they have a problem.
People are always going to hate others for one reason or another, so forcing them to accept each other will likely make
matters worse. People in the private sector should have the right to refuse service to whomever they chose. The government doesn’t need to tell business owners who they can or can’t serve because the general public will do it much more effectively.
People won’t go to businesses that discriminate against others, and they’ll righteously smear the names of discriminatory businesses. Business owners will likely shut down because of this, and justice is a better reward for minorities than oppressing people’s right to freedom of speech.
Judges are corrupt all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. The government needs to protect people’s rights by staying out of marriage, only guaranteeing the service of the public sector to everyone and sticking with the constitutional rights.
If the federal government continuously refuses to protect everyone’s rights, then it is up to every state to do so. Louisiana needs to protect those the feds refuse to protect.
These minority groups are full of good people, but unfortunately the terrible members are not condemned and punished. Peaceful rights’ advocates such as King or Mahatma Gandhi and other peaceful rights’ advocates would turn over in their grave if they saw today’s groups.
I hope minority “rights” groups are happy with themselves because everyone else thinks they resemble the very things that oppress them.
The groups today resemble the Klu Klux Klan and Nazi party. Both held obscene parades, used violence to bring about change and took the money of the oppressed. What’s the difference between them and today’s groups?
