Fights Over 'Religious Freedom' And Gay Rights Are Costing Republicans
Following a firestorm of criticism, Republican governors in Indiana and Arkansas signed revised versions of their states' Religious Freedom Restoration bills Thursday night. In Indiana the language was adjusted, and in Arkansas it was significantly scaled back to more closely align with the federal law.

Subject: "Open the drawbridge"
Hi Lisa,
I opened this morning’s New York Times to the headline, “Benjamin Netanyahu Says Final Nuclear Deal Must Include Iran’s Recognition of Israel”.
Oh it “must,” must it? Why, because you say so?
Netanyahu reminds me of the ant with an erection, floating down the river on his back and yelling, “Open the drawbridge!”
My reaction was, “F@#k this guy. If he wanted recognition included in the deal, he could have and should have raised the issue years ago, not almost-after-the-fact. And he could have been just a little more solicitous of the President of the United States in the meantime.
Netanyahu demonstrates once again that he is not an honest player and cannot be trusted. He does not want a deal between the P5+1 and Iran; he wants war with Iran – a war in we will be expected to invest still more blood and treasure in the Middle East.
It astounds me that we can be on the verge of an agreement among the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany, and Iran … and Israel, who is not even a party to the agreement, presumes it can sashay in and blow up the deal.
Sorry, Bibi, you’re too late. Now it’s time for you to STFD and STFU. This drawbridge is closed.
Best,
~Rick

Indiana Is Waving The Flag, Now!
The rainbow flag, a symbol of gay rights, flies prominently on the Visit Indy website and Indiana’s Republican Governor Mike Pence personally phoned the head of a Seattle company that gathers 56,000 gaming nerds in the heartland each year.
These are just some of the signs that Indianapolis, a corn belt city of 850,000 with a $4.4 billion tourism industry,
has gone into full-on damage control to make sure its growing convention business is not harmed by a national uproar over a religious bill that Pence signed into law last week.
