Sam Brownback (R-KS) Signs Sweeping Anti-LGBT Executive Order

So its not about the law... Its about control..
The Law is in their way..
Conservatives run around with Bibles and the Constitution in their pockets..
But when things don't go their way.. The law is not fair and is a obstruction to be overcome..
In other words, its their way or hit the freakin Road...
The Ends always justify their means..

Sam Brownback (R-KS) Signs Sweeping Anti-LGBT Executive Order

Governor Sam Brownback today signed in a sweeping executive order with significant changes afoot - and many not imagined.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 15-05

EXECUTIVE ORDER 15-05

Preservation and Protection of Religious Freedom

WHEREAS, the protection of religious liberty from government infringement is a constitutional and fundamental state interest, and government is obligated to take measures that advance this interest by preventing government interference with religious exercise in a way that complements the protections mandated by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which provides:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

and Section Seven of the Bill of Rights of the Kansas Constitution, which provides:

The right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience shall never be infringed; nor shall any person be compelled to attend or support any form of worship; nor shall any control of or interference with the rights of conscience be permitted, nor any preference be given by law to any religious establishment or mode of worship.

but I guess they have the "government" they want. I know it was always Republican, but it used to be rather liberal and tolerant. Now it's just plain nasty. My sympathies to all my fellow Dems suffering in this GOP gulag.
