When in Doubt Call in the Nazis

Texas Tea Partisans can hardly wait to jump on the so-called religious freedom bandwagon, despite the backlash seen in Indiana and Arkansas.  Texas Rep. Matt Krause (TP – Fort Worth) has proposed a constitutional amendment that would require Texas to have a “compelling governmental interest” before it can “burden in any way” a person’s free exercise of religion.   The Huffington Post explains how Krause justifies his plan:

“Should a Jewish bakery have to bake a cake for the neo-Nazi convention coming into town? Nobody would say that. Nor would anybody say a gay florist couple has to give flowers to a Westboro Baptist protest at funerals.” 

If this passes, Red will no longer be required to provide services to any who disagree with him because his religious beliefs are such that any one who holds an opinion different than him is in the possession of the Devil.
