The DFL's attack on the First Amendment

Apparently, the DFL is intent on becoming the most anti-First Amendment legislature in U.S. history. I'm not surprised about this. I'm just mad as hell about it. Let's dig into this anti-religion crisis. Alpha News is reporting that "A group of left-wing Democrats lambasted people of faith Thursday in a Minnesota House of Representatives committee hearing. Blocking an amendment that would continue longstanding protections for religious institutions, Democrats rejected pleas from Minnesota’s religious community."

The article continues, saying "For decades, Minnesota statute has allowed religious organizations and associations to refrain from hiring individuals who do not match their faith traditions. For example, current state law ensures that private Christian schools cannot be forced to hire teachers who are gay, lesbian, Muslim, etc. However, Democrats in the Minnesota Legislature put a new term in state law during the 2023 session which complicates that: 'gender identity.' When Democrats introduced this term, state law was not adjusted to make sure religious institutions can still decline to hire someone whose “gender identity” is in opposition to their faith."

Rep. Harry Niska, (R-Ramsey), inquired about this:

Rep. Niska assumed this complication was an oversight by Democrats. However, the chair of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, D-Roseville, told Rep. Niska, "I can say as a legislator it was not an oversight."
Shortly thereafter, Rep. Niska posted this thread on X: Of course, this law violates the First Amendment, specifically the right to practice a person's religious beliefs. A little over 13 minutes into this video, Rep. Niska introduces his A-2 amendment to HF4021:

A little over 16 minutes into the video Rep. Becker-Finn replied "As a legislator, I can say it wasn't an oversight. I was aware of that language." In saying that, Rep. Becker-Finn just admitted that it was the DFL's intention to violate people's religious rights by writing anti-religious discrimination into the Minnesota Human Rights Act. That's utterly corrupt. That's disgusting. Religious rights come from Nature's God, not from men. Further, religious rights are human rights.

This law will be struck down the minute the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals hears it. If that ruling is appealed to the Supremee Court, SCOTUS will uphold the Eighth Circuit's ruling.

I Heard It On the NARN

Spread this video, which Rep. Walter Hudson put together, as though your life depended on it -- because the DFL is intent on obliterating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights:

The DFL has made this point exceptionally powerfully: they don't respect the Constitution! They likely don't respect the Constitution because a) it limits the government's authorities and b) the Constitution is built on the premise that our rights come from God, not government.

I'll have another article that folows up on this article tomorrow. It'll be about where rights come from.

    This is also an affront to our Constitutional freedom of association.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
