NRC Endorses New End-Around Attack on Gay Citizens

"The Republican National Committee gave its backing to a law designed to treat gay Americans as second class citizens... The Committee recently passed a resolution urging Congress to pass the so-called First Amendment Defense Act (FADA)...

..You probably remember the national controversy over the Indiana law that allowed businesses to discriminate against gay people.  FADA is that sort of law, but nationally...

...Ian Thompson, legislative director for the American Civil Liberties Union said, '...This sweeping and dangerous bill would open a Pandora's Box of taxpayer-funded discrimination against same-sex couples and their children... Attempting to wrap this discriminatory proposal in the language of the Bill of Rights does not change the reality of its attack on our national values of fairness and equal treatment under the law for all.'...

... As is often the case with laws and legislation supported by conservatives, this law--currently in a bill introduced in the House by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) and in the Senate by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)--would roll back the rights of Americans...who generally do not vote Republican. "

eye'm thynkin':  The Republican Party seems totally incapable of accepting the outcome of any vote, (Obama winning the White House), any court case (same-sex marriage), any legislation (the Affordable Care Act), any investigation (Benghazi)  that they have not personally written and endorsed.  No matter the subject, no matter how many times they lose, they insist on looking for a back door to force their opinions onto those who have already rejected them.
