I have so had it with these loons.

This reaction is the worst since the Mccarthy era.

With that Rube Goldberg machine you won't be able to hear it.

The forces of evil are on the march, wolves disguised as sheep, hate mongers disguised as freedom loving Christians.

Mark my words, this will lead nowhere good.

WTF is wrong with these red states?

What's wrong with them, Bob?

They're pandering to their base, appealing to bigotry they way they always do. The far right can't survive without it. They've convinced far too many Christians that they are victims of a tiny minority; The dreaded homosexual.

I say let them continue to play out the rope. The more of this insane 'Bigots have rights!' shit they pull the more obvious it becomes what they truly are. Hopefully, they will hang themselves before anyone gets hurt.

But..... I'm not so sure no one will be hurt before they hang themselves. Already, just the controversy of signing the bill, has been hurtful.

You elect a black man as president and this is what you get.

Backlash in all forms from those who feel "their" country has been ripped from them.

Arkansas governor rejects bill after pressure over gay discrimination

(Reuters) - Republican Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson on Wednesday rejected a religion bill he had said he would sign into law, reversing course after a national firestorm of criticism assailing such legislation as discriminating against gays and lesbians.

In a news conference Hutchinson said he was sending the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) back to the Republican-controlled state legislature for a rewrite to better balance tolerance for diversity and protections of religious freedom.

The governor said his own son had asked him to veto it, adding a personal element to the intense pressure to reject the bill he had already faced from businesses such as Arkansas-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's biggest retailer.

Good stuff!

WalMart has already been seeing their sales/market share dropping over the well deserved bad press. No surprise that they would strong arm Gov. Asa over this retrograde legislation for PR purposes.

Fuck WalMart.
