The Great Gay Wedding Pizza Controversy:Update

You gotta wonder just how petty and absurd things are going to get over this whole Indiana RFRA law.

I get the feeling that ABC sent out a email to all of its Indiana affiliates demanding that they find some example of a business who not only approved of the law but makes clear that their religious conscience would keep them from serving a "gay" wedding.
Well ABC57 found one in a small town.

RFRA: Michiana business wouldn't cater a gay wedding

WALKERTON, Ind. - A small-town pizza shop is saying they agree with Governor Pence and the signing of the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The O'Connor family, who owns Memories Pizza, says they have a right to believe in their religion and protect those ideals.
“If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no,” says Crystal O'Connor of Memories Pizza.
She and her family are standing firm in their beliefs.
The O'Connors have owned Memories Pizza in Walkerton for 9 years.
It's a small-town business, with small-town ideals.
“We are a Christian establishment,” says O'Connor.
The O'Connor family prides themselves in owning a business that reflects their religious beliefs.
“We're not discriminating against anyone, that's just our belief and anyone has the right to believe in anything,” says O'Connor.  

So, when Governor Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law, the family was not disappointed.
“We definitely agree with the bill,” says O'Connor.

Pizza?
Who in the hell has catered pizza at a wedding reception?
As always the leftist media is making much ado about nothing in order to advance an agenda,making news instead of reporting it.
Makes you wonder how hard they had to look in the entire state to find this one little business in this one little town to get this "story".

Ah here you go.
Forced to close because they hypothetically refused to cater a hypothetical reception for a hypothetical "gay" wedding.

Ban Sprinkles? Aw Hell No!!

Looks like the sprinkles for cakes, donuts and ice cream is going to go the way of other banned stuff if the FDA has their way.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: FDA MOVES TO BAN CAKE, DONUT ‘SPRINKLES’

Early next year, the FDA is expected to finalize a new regulation intended to eradicate even trace amounts of partially hydrogenated oils, known as trans fats, from our diets. Although the amount of trans fats Americans consume has declined significantly in recent years, the FDA’s quest to completely eliminate a particular type of trans fat threatens to eliminate the noble “sprinkle,” used to decorate holiday treats and donuts. Even a small amount of joy is suspect in the FDA’s brave, new, food-monitored world.~snip~

It's especially galling seeing as how the food police were the ones who foisted trans fats on is in the first place.
(from the article)

At this juncture, it bears repeating that a large reason trans fats used to be so prevalent in our diets was due to the activism of the food nannies at Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The left-wing food scolds, most famous for its reports on “calorie bomb” food entrees, pushed restaurants and food companies to switch to trans fats in the 1980s and 1990s.

Putting sprinkles on baked goods at home is a time honored rite of passage for uncounted toddlers helping out in the kitchen along with icing cookies beforehand of course. The food Nazis' don't seem to have a problem with banning that along with the delightful little sprinkles.

I guess it's not like they have anything else more important to do like maybe doing something about the outbreaks of listeria or other food borne health outbreaks.
How petty do these bureaucrats have to go to justify their continuous growth?

Even Atheists think Some Atheists are Obnoxious

Probably the most amazing thing I've ever heard is a douchebag atheists comparing their plight to fight against small discounts for small acts of piety with the struggle for civil rights.
This segment from the left leaning "Daily Show" is a perfect example of someone who is searching for a cause because, well he's just a little attention whore.

Daily Show: Atheist Group ‘Petty A**holes’ Who Need to ‘Lighten the F**k Up’

Whatever argument exists for the need to keep government and religion separate is completely nullified by the petty demands made by these very small people.

Bill Maher Gets a Twofer

He goes after "American Exceptionalism" and Mormonism all at once.


You know there's a difference between questioning our countries place in the world and being a petty, pompous, arrogant asshole.
Maher excels at the latter.
