..as is republican presidential contender and con job martyr Mike Huckabee's accusation, echoing the latest spun up garbage from republicans, that "Christianity is being criminalized"; an extension of the same violent demagogic pandering now common tripe from a party that has long exploited the fringe evangelicals in this fashion.
Bill O'Reilly has made a career and a fortune with his yearly (year round at this point) "War on Christmas" theme.
Dan Savage debunks this fear-mongering spun up as reasonable religious accommodation argument:

This reversal of truth; this flagrant hypocrisy as Joy-Ann Reid brilliantly captured in words; this not-new accommodation of "religious liberty" is malignant bigotry and an open invitation to violence masquerading as oppression/martyrdom by those claiming their "right of conscience" is being violated in order to justify their own agenda of oppression of others
Dan Savage has a way of cutting through the BS that I admire very much.
note: Just heard Chris Hayes ask Kim Davis' lawyer Matthew Staver that if interracial marriage (Loving v Virginia) violated Kim Davis's "religious conscience" (conscience being touted by Staver as thee issue) would that also be grounds to deny those people a marriage license?
Mathew Staver Refused to answer, but instead sidestepped the question and would only address same sex marriage as the issue of "religious conscience"
