Exactly. The fact is that the Indiana and the New York politicians are both trying to do the EXACT SAME THING---namely politically pander to their respective perceived political bases and, of course as always, people get screwed in the process, but never enough to ever change the system by voting out incumbents who play these games (which is close to 100% of them).

The name of the game is stir up controversy in order to energize your political base. Politicians manipulate the electorate thru fear and anger and are experts at doing so and the American public falls for it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Yup. This was never about "religious freedom" and always completely about politics.

This was brought to a head by bakers, florist, and photographers being put out of business (by the government) because of their religious beliefs. The Indiana law was far from perfect but it was about "religious freedom".

can you provide specific examples of businesses that were shut down by the Govt because of their religious beliefs?
