Sinner waving scary flag an in intimidating manner ...
As the
backlash against Indiana's new
right-to-discriminate law grows, supporters of sanctioned bigotry are having a
major sad, but they're just going to keep their heads down and take it because it shows what good Christians they are and besides, they're tired of being bullied. (Seriously. You just can't make this shit up.)
"There is zero interest in gloating over the passage of this religious liberty bill ... we think everyone wins, but our style is not to run this up the flagpole as some type of victory to gloat about." [...]
"I think a lot of people have been bullied into silence," he [Curt Smith, president of the Indiana Family Institute] said. [And that] ... the nature of Christianity also may help explain why the reaction appears to be so one sided.
"Some people would say that Christianity itself calls us to meekness. So there's that sort of defining feature, that 'turn the other cheek,'" he explained.
Besides, says Mr. Turn-the-other-cheek:
"Why would you want to engage a bunch of hateful people," Smith asked. "We're always accused of being bigots. Who had the signs (Thursday)? Who was yelling?
So there you have it. People protesting the passage of this odious bill are the real bigots. After all, they did have signs and everyone knows what that means (unless, presumably, the signs include a lot of :'s).
