Tea Party Nation Leader Has Epic Meltdown Over Anti-Gay Bill Veto In Arizona

Tea Party Nation Leader Has Epic Meltdown Over Anti-Gay Bill Veto In Arizona

by Bob Cull

After Arizona governor Jan Brewer (R) vetoed SB 1062 on Wednesday the the right flew into a rage and no one was more outraged than Justin Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation, the only Tea Party group listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

Phillips climbed up on his soap box and published a scathing editorial entitled "Tyranny, The Loss of Liberty and Arizona's SB 1062" on the organization's site castigating Brewer for her "cowardice" in the face of opposition to what he sees as a "patriotic" law by "the left and the homosexual lobby."

In a 16 point bold font he defended the bill as a stand for freedom against tyranny claiming that it is yet another attempt to enslave the population of America to what he refers to as, "Orwellian concepts of 'tolerance' and 'inclusiveness.'"

The man who thinks that only property owners (presumably only white and male) should be allowed to vote is outraged that in New Mexico a gay couple was allowed to file a lawsuit against a Christian who chose to refuse to photograph their wedding ceremony.  After all, everyone knows that this is a Christian nation and therefore Christians are supposed to be immune from anti-discrimination provisions in the law.

To illustrate the insanity of opposition to the bill he wrote:

[box type="shadow"]"Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has vetoed SB1062, The Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Arizona.  No one has ever accused Governor Brewer of being the most courageous Republican around. Come to think of it, the word courageous and Jan Brewer have probably never been uttered in the same sentence.

The left and the homosexual lobby in America went into overdrive to kill this bill.  Conservatives rallied for this bill and Governor Brewer opted for cowardice instead of courage.

Why is this bill so important and what did it mean for not only Arizona but America?

The issue can be boiled down to one word: Freedom.

A free man or woman controls their labor.  A slave has no control over their labor.  A free man or woman decides who they will work for and under what conditions.  The slave cannot.

The left and the homosexual lobby are both pushing slavery using the Orwellian concepts of “tolerance” and “inclusiveness.”

The law began as a response to a case in neighboring New Mexico.  There, the state of New Mexico allowed a lawsuit against a Christian photographer who declined to photograph a homosexual commitment ceremony.  There have been similar cases with bakers in Oregon and Colorado.

The Arizona legislature acted to preempt that happening in Arizona.

Immediately the left and the homosexual lobby went into high dudgeon.  Arizona’s SB1062 must be defeated because Americans really are no longer free and must be forced to serve the great liberal state, regardless of their beliefs.

The storm rose against Arizona and Jan Brewer proved she was no Ronald Reagan.  She has an honored place in the ranks of the French Republicans.  Corporations and business interests, many of whom support far left wing causes, like Apple demanded this bill be vetoed.  Apple gives 96% of its political giving to Democrats.  Why a Republican listens to a word from Apple or lifts a finger to help them is beyond comprehension.  The NFL threatened to pull the Super Bowl from Arizona in 2015.

Someone with courage would have called their bluff.  Arizona has Jan Brewer.

The left came up with bizarre and insane arguments against SB1062.  They tried to equate sexual preference with race.  Unfortunately few will stand up against that grossly inaccurate analogy.  The left believes that it has the right to dictate what religious beliefs are allowed.

They need to be reminded what our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution say.  Our rights are given to us by a higher power than the government and cannot be taken away.

The left loves to come up with absurd hypotheticals to scream that there must be compliance with their fascism, so how about a couple from our side.

Should a devout baker be required to create a cake for a homosexual wedding that has a giant phallic symbol on it or should a baker be required to create pastries for a homosexual wedding in the shape of genitallia?  Or should a photographer be required to photograph a homosexual wedding where the participants decide they want to be nude or engage in sexual behavior?  Would they force a Jewish photographer to work a Klan or Nazi event? How about forcing a Muslim caterer to work a pork barbeque dinner?

SB1062 was never about discrimination.  It was about the left imposing its will on Americans who disagree.

The most common victims of the left wing homosexual assault on freedom have been Christian bakers and photographers.  These are not uncommon skills.  In even the most rural areas you can find them.

Does anyone really believe these cases of Christian bakers or photographers being sued over their refusal to provide services.  Over the last couple of years, a number of articles have been published in professional photography magazines about how to cater to homosexual weddings.  For many photographers, this is a growth industry.

If a photographer or baker doesn’t want to take a particular job, liberty says they have the right to decide how their labor is used.  Slavery is when the state tells them their labor will be used whether they like it or not.

SB1062 is a bigger story than simply the story of a cowardly governor who has no core beliefs.

SB1062 is the story of liberalism at work in America.

Liberalism is the paranoid belief that leftists have that somewhere, someone may be thinking for themselves.  It is the tyrannical belief that no deviation in belief is allowed from the decreed orthodoxy.

It is the antithesis of liberty.

It is tyranny on the march.[/box]
