3. 8. Republican leaders are wimpy

"Republican leaders cannot be relied upon to defend the religious freedom of conservative Christians because, as last week's events show, they become wimps whenever the issue of homosexuality enters the mix."

Yeah, that must be why they keep passing and signing these shit bills and only backtracking when the majority of folks who have gay family members, friends and coworkers call them on their extreme bigotry and trying to limit basic civil rights because they find gay people "icky."

It's also why they backtrack when somebody reminds them about constitutional protections for all citizens. And boy, do they hate being reminded that this country has a constitution, not an official bible!
