In other news, authorities have set up roadblocks around the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon where a number of terrorists have refused to leave. 7 members of the cell were arrested yesterday.
Meanwhile, the terrorists who still occupy the refuge have put out a call to arms to defend property that doesn't belong to them.
And finally, Liberty Counsel hate radio host Mat Staver warns us that gay people are imposing a "jizya tax" on Christians.
"Deep in the Islamic tradition is jizya, a tax which forces non-Muslims to pay an exorbitant fee for living within a Muslim state," Staver said. "Now, from farmers in New York to those offering wedding cakes, photography and other services, all have been fined thousands, and sometimes more than a hundred thousand dollars for having and acting on a religious belief that is different from homosexuals who demand their services. These fees and fine are in essence a tax on Christians who are living out their faith and beliefs in the businesses that they labored for and have built. In America, we should not fear paying a tax or fee to Muslims, nor to homosexuals, just because our faith is different from theirs."
This argument could be used against almost any minority group that is protected by civil rights law, not just gay people. I wasn't alive to see it but I imagine similar arguments were used against people of color who simply wanted to eat lunch or go to school.
The struggle for civil rights will never be over because men like Staver will always exist.
