Arizona Passed A Law That Openly Discriminates Against Minorities And LGBT!

Jan Brewer back in the news. Her state passed a right to discriminate law and if she signs it, she may face a boycott from civil rights groups.

Republicans are so fucking stupid. One breath they're saying they've freed the slaves, but in the next breathe they're enslaving the American people to their extremist agenda. You hear O'Loofus (Bill O'Reilly) and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (Sean Hannity) rail against those "Leftists" trying to silence the freedom of speech.

But here in the state of Arizona, the freedom of expression and speech are being silenced by those backers of the "Racist Right".

The Republican governor Jan Brewer is back in the news.

She's at a crossroads with her Republicans and the constituents of her state.

A Republican endorsed bill was passed by the state house. It paved the way for legally discriminating those who go against traditionalist "Christian" values.

The law if signed by Brewer will allow businesses to discriminate on the grounds of religious beliefs.

This bill is so extreme, Arizona Republican U.S. Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake are concerned that the impact could damage the brand. Matter of fact, if this passed, the Justice Department will file a lawsuit against the law in federal court.

LGBT groups are pissed at the governor and Republicans for trying to establish Jim Crow in their state.

On that some businesses are urging Republicans to kill the bill because it could damage revenue and tourism.

The NFL is considering moving the Superbowl if the law is signed. The Superbowl XLIX is coming to Arizona.

La Raza, the NAACP, the ACLU and Human Rights Campaign are against it and threaten a boycott of the state.

That infamous finger in the face of President Barack Obama.

A dreadnought of the conservative cause, Brewer rarely shies from controversy and, often in the face of staunch political and economic backlash, has boldly defended her stances on the economy, gun rights, regulation, taxation, immigration and even wagging her finger in the face of President Barack Obama.

"I don't rely a whole lot on my gut because I have to look at what (the bill) says and what the law says and take that information and do the right thing," she said from the National Governors Association's winter meeting in Washington. "I will do the right thing for the state of Arizona."

But since Thursday, when the state House of Representatives OK'd the bill by a 33-27 margin and sent it to Brewer's desk, what's right for Arizona has become somewhat amorphous.

Already, three GOP senators who voted in favor of SB1062, including a co-sponsor, Sen. Bob Worsley, have changed their minds. The bill passed the state Senate 17-13 with the "yea" votes of the three senators.

"While our sincere intent in voting for the bill was to create a shield for all citizens' religious liberties, the bill has instead been mischaracterized by its opponents as a sword for religious intolerance. These allegations are causing our state immeasurable harm," Worsley and Sens. Adam Driggs and Steve Pierce said in a letter sent to Brewer on Monday.

You're welcomed to the state of Arizona.

CNN reports that Arizona's SB1062 has pulled off a sort of political magic trick, in that warring sides can read the bill's text and have not only different reactions, but completely opposite ones.

While proponents of gay rights dub the bill oppressive, those in favor of the bill becoming law say it represents freedom.

Brewer has until Saturday to make her call, and her fellow Republicans in the state Legislature have suggested that a veto is likely.

In short, SB1062 would amend the existing Religious Freedom Restoration Act, allowing business owners to deny service to gay and lesbian customers so long as proprietors were acting solely on their religious beliefs.

The bill's advocates insist that those claiming SB1062 amounts to bigotry and discrimination have hijacked and misrepresented its aims.
