Ironies of good, bad in Indiana

Let me see if I understand what is going on.

Indiana is a conservative state and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that they passed is supposedly designed to discriminate against gays. Indiana is bad!

The late Ted Kennedy co-sponsored the government version of the act and Bill clinton signed it into law. They are good!

New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Washington and others have this law, but since they are generally liberal, they are good.

By the way, the New York governor has banned travel to Indiana. My, My, My. Seems as though he is going to Cuba (where gays are banned and punished)

The leader of Apple says that this law " will allow people to discriminate against their neighbors." Apple Sauce! This company does business with Arab nations that kill people for being gay -- he hasn't said a word. But he is good!

Those who hate this Indiana law cannot point to a single case "where RFRA has been used to justify discrimination." But the liberals and the "unbiased" media still say it is a bad law and Indiana is a bad place to be even with legal same-sex marriage.

Oh well. So what?
