As America continues to morph into the most transparently bigoted, hateful, and racist country to join the ranks of all of the other countries that practice suppression of the rights of its people, the Republican Party continues to play "dog whistle" politics.
The latest dog whistle law was just signed by Governor Mike Pence of Indiana and this law is called "The Religious Freedom and Restoration Act" which prevents the government from infringing on the rights of people for their religious beliefs. Or, if your religion allows you to discriminate against gay people, the government will not be allowed to intervene.
The Republican's master plan is working because they are taking over America one state at a time. Republican Governors promote Republican judges so if and when this very discriminatory law is challenged in court, it can easily be upheld. This very oppressive law is in reaction to the Governor's failed attempt to halt the legalization of same sex marriage which recently passed in his state.
Americans, you are in a dog fight that is escalating to levels never seen since the civil war. Unfortunately the reasons are the same. This battle is waged by a few bigoted old white men to impose their will on an entire country. They want to mandate and legislate their ridiculous segregationist ideals on a entire society.
What is more alarming is that all that the oppressed members of America's populace can do is March. African Americans march when Black men are murdered, LBGT groups March because they can't get married, and the rest of America remains silent. 2015 has started out as the year of the protest marches.
The Republican governors in this country don't care about the will of the people and they are forging ahead in the passage of laws that will allow the few to rule the many. Due to the diminishing literacy of the citizens of America, laws with dog whistle language will continue to be passed and the oppression of certain factions of America will go on forever.
