Republican National Committee member Dave Agema has once again latched onto Facebook bigotry, this time by posting Wednesday comments by Agemite disciple Anne Phelps:
* * Attention Michigan!! * * Breaking News: Michigan Republican, Frank Foster, dropped the Elliott Larson (sic) amendment TODAY in the House.
This bill seeks to make sexual orientation, sexual identity and gender identity protected classes- the same as being Black or a woman.
It seeks to make being homosexual an “ethnicity”.
Simultaneously, the Republican Speaker of the House, Jase Bolger ,dropped the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as a fake protection for Religious Freedom.
Keep in mind that both Foster and Bolger are heavily financed by wealthy Democrat, homosexuals.
The Foster bill is going to the Commerce Committee and the Religious Freedom Bill will likely go to the Judiciary Committee
Beware of ANY so called Christian Conservative leader or group who tries to sell you on the false notion that this bill by Bolger will protect religious freedom.
It is a false cover.
We already have religious freedom. This Bolger bill is a form of moral surrender.
These bills work together to strip us of our religious freedom!
Also beware of Republicans who tried to tell you this was going to just away (sic) because they wanted to stop the conversation before the election.
Traitors are on all sides.
We must mobilize now!

A constitutional democratic republic means the constitution is the supreme law of the land. The legicslature may pass laws that don't run afoul of the protected rights of the individual and minorities. Lincoln said that rule of law should be the religion of the nation. The voters vote for candidate. The winner becomes an elected official. The elected official swears to uphold the Michigan and U.S. Constitutions in his oath of office. There are other rules. The government must act rationally and not be "arbitrary and capricious" in its laws. For example, you can't pass a law that if you have blue eyes, and brown shoes on election day, then you can't vote. Now, if the legislature decides to make sexual orientation a protected class under Elliott-Larsen, and the laws is constitutional, how can so called "conservatives" complain? If you don't like it, call your state representative, or vote to remove him or her, otherwise, that is our system. In our system, being a citizen is not easy work. The RFRA is far too complicated to tweet bromides and platitudes. If you care about becoming eduicated on the subject google search RFRA and Constutional Daily.
