La Rue, legal counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal organization based in Scottsdale, Arizona, told The New York Times. “Faith shouldn’t be something we have to leave inside our house.”<br /><br />Gay rights advocates and civil libertarians were outraged by the legislation, which is certain to face a court challenge if Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signs it.<br /><br />“The Arizona Senate bill is blatantly unconstitutional,” Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, told the Los Angeles Times. “It violates the requirement of equal protection of the laws by openly singling out a particular group of people and saying it’s OK to discriminate against them.” [...]<br /><br />http://www.allgov.com/news/top-stories/arizona-legislature-passes-bill-allowing-businesses-to-discriminate-against-gays-140225?news=852529Under Mattan Blogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082653955713688872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141878910793686547.post-89412351938759380012014-02-19T23:25:52.453+01:002014-02-19T23:25:52.453+01:00--Department of Homeland Security Terrorizes Ameri...--Department of Homeland Security Terrorizes Americans With Another Made Up Terrorist Threat--<br /><br />February 19, 2014<br /><br />Source: Lee Rogers, Daily Slave/BLN<br /><br />Once again we see the Department of Homeland Security inventing another terrorist threat to scare people while at the same time using it to justify their existence. Just weeks ago they were trying to scare people about the possibility of terrorists using toothpaste tube bombs. Now they are back to the true and tried formula of claiming that terrorists might try to attack airplanes using explosives in their shoes. This will of course give the Department of Homeland Security the opportunity to subject people to additional pat downs and other ridiculous security measures.<br />Below is a blurb from a NBC report describing the situation. They claim that "very recent intelligence" indicated a potential shoe bomb plot. If that were really the case it is funny how they fully admit that they can't provide any specifics including who, what, where or when. What sort of so-called intelligence is this any way? It sounds like this whole thing is made up.<br />The Department of Homeland Security has advised airlines of a potential new security threat, urging them to pay extra attention to flights from overseas to the United States.<br />Several officials familiar with the advisory say "very recent intelligence" considered credible warns of possible attempts to attack passenger jets using explosives concealed in shoes. As a result, officials say, airlines will be playing extra attention to passenger shoes on flights to the US from overseas. Those passengers may also experience increased scrutiny in pat downs and full-body screening.<br />The bulletin to airlines urges screeners to use the explosive trace detection swabs to check shoes that are worn and in carry-on bags.[...]<br /><br />http://www.dailyslave.com/department-of-homeland-security-terrorizes-americans-with-another-made-up-terrorist-threat/<br /><br />http://www.blacklistednews.com/Department_of_Homeland_Security_Terrorizes_Americans_With_Another_Made_Up_Terrorist_Threat/32999/0/5/5/Y/M.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
