Arizona Again

Once again Arizona is proving its engrained facism.  

This time the Constitution of the United States is the target.

In segregated times, southerners used religious freedom as one of the reasons numerous bigots tried to use religious freedom to justify discrimination against African Americans.  

The idea was to use scripture out of a context to justify institutionalized racism.   

It goes like this:  It is against my religion to serve Blacks, allow them to intermarry, get jobs; etc.

Now, in Arizona they are trying the same trick, voiding the Civil Rights Act, the 14th Amendment, etc.

There is nothing in current law thats forces anybody to do anything against their religion in a dealing with gays.   Nothing.   

But good old Arizona voted and sent on to the governor a bill that allows open discrimination against gays, including negating their civil rights even more than before.

All in the name of religion.

Not so long ago, in Germany and Italy, religion was used to justify the murder of over six million Jews.  The justification was that Jews killed Christ.

Nevermind that none of the Jews were even alive when Christ was crucified.  Fascism does not care about law or logic.  It is all about power.   

If we allow abomination to continue, we will be tolerating the same fascism that existed in Germany and Italy.   

This isn't just about Gay rights, it's about fascism and its evil getting a foothold in our country.

We need to resist this and demand Arizona be punished for their fascist behavior.
