Sen. Baldwin adapted a common leftist mis-interpretation of the Second Amendment to distort the rights described in the First. The owner of a bakery, for example, doesn’t deserve freedom of religion under the First Amendment and cannot refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay ceremony, regardless of his beliefs, because Baldwin thinks freedom of religion only applies to churches and other religious institutions, not individuals! Who determines what constitutes a church? Well, probably Sen. Baldwin and her progressive cohorts.
In effect, Baldwin hopes to completely marginalize the First Amendment and let the government seize control of who can worship, and, as long as it’s the First Amendment, who can speak, what they can pray for and what they are permitted to say. Here’s her logic, in her own words:
“Certainly the first amendment says that in institutions of faith that there is absolute power to, you know, to observe deeply held religious beliefs. I don’t think it extends far beyond that. We’ve seen the set of arguments play out in issues such as access to contraception. Should it be the individual pharmacist whose religious beliefs guides whether a prescription is filled, or in this context, they’re talking about expanding this far beyond our churches and synagogues to businesses and individuals across this country. I think there are clear limits that have been set in other contexts and we ought to abide by those in this new context across America.”

She wouldn’t recognize the Cons$#%&!@*ution if it slapped her across the face!!!!!
A buffoon
Jeff I have seen this post so many times that I have lost count. Counter-posts deny that it is SL’s real list of rules but it is close to the truth. The fact that BHO and HRC follow this BS is evidence of their intention to “socialize” the U.S. OBAMA has already accomplished most of this in the last 6 1/2 yrs. If voters aren’t aware of what is going on, then 2016 may be the last semi-free election in the U.S. ALL libs need to consider this unless they are willing to live in a Communist country.
Shut up and sit down you ugly braindead lib$#%&!@*.
