SPENCE: "DOUBLE-SPEAKS" (religion)

Hoisted on a "petard" of the Religious Right

Guv'na Spence, of Indiana, came before the Press this morning, to "deflate" his odious predicament and retrieve what good graces are left for the People of Indiana; who are being so poorly served by its Legislators!  "Hop-Scotching" furiously between the terms "Religious Liberty and Religious Freedom, he tried, breathing hard, to "wiggle" his way out.  Hoping that no one in the Press would "pin" him on these terms (none did, in fact); the Guv'na "mis-characterized" his actions and his beliefs.  Argueing "intent" of his Law (which means nothing to the "victims"  who suffer the "results" of Bad Laws); he name-dropped Obama, Clinton, and John Lewis!  I think Pence spun his web of confusion even deeper.

Laws that protect "Liberty" contain a "coercive" character, that is not present in Laws that champion "Freedom".  Spence hopes we're too stupid to realize that!  Liberty is defined as the "power to do as one pleases".  To do that under the cloak of RELIGION leads directly to the Evils that plague this planet today!  Liberty is "Freedom - To DO Something",  While our "Freedoms- From" are what was intended by our Founders.  At a time when the POWER of White Males is in sharp decline, they have gathered in the Legislatures of RED States, to shore up that power.  Coercion is Coercion, whether it has has the color of Religion, or Law, or Both!

Indiana is one of those "Border" States that is struggling with the national  Extreme Right, crypto-fascist, incursions from our Deep South regions.  The Ohio River, the historical dividing line for DIXIE, borders Indiana on its South.  Gary, Indiana is one of the State's "Bantustans".  The Guv'na is a textbook case for this nations struggles with "socio-schizophrenia" regarding RACE and SEXUAL Orientation.  I have spent a lot of time in Indiana, even attending Purdue, one Summer.  I was glad to leave.  Notre Dame's presence has not been helpful,either, to the State, in this regard.

Stay Vigilant!  At a time when the entire World is struggling with Hate wrapped in Religion, this "tempest" is nothing compared to the unraveling of Sykes-Picot  now taking place in the Middle East.  One hundred years of skull-duggery, wrapped in Race and Religion, is on the verge of sparking another World War!
