Mike Pence to be Teabagged?
Just when you thought it was safe to come out of your corn hole, this happened. The Indiana Pastor's Alliance accused Pence and other Republican leaders of betraying Christians by fixing the R.F.R.A. They claim the fix discriminates against Christians and that it is now a "gay rights bill". This according to Alliance Executive Director Rob Johnson.
House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate President David Long have both dismissed the allegations that the legislature has damaged religious liberty.
Philip's Temple pastor Carl Kelly said former Republican Senator Richard Lugar didn't serve the needs of conservatives , including the tea party and he paid the price. Kelly said if Indiana failed to enact a stronger RFRA law, the same thing might happen to Pence.
Dick Lugar's conservative bona fides were never in question among those with any common sense. What certain people couldn't tolerate was the fact that he knew public policy is only accomplished through negotiation and compromise. Worse still, he was viewed as an international statesman and you don't want that kind of person representing the state.
The tea party destroyed Lugar by supporting an extremist moron in the primary. It's easy to do because only a tiny number of people actually vote in party primaries. It happens in both major parties but among Republicans in recent years it has become a major problem. Their actions lead to Democratic Congressman Joe Donnelly being elected.
So my dear pastors please feel free to teabag Governor Pence. After all what hath a man gained if he is not willing to sacrifice?
