LIBERAL BLAME FOR INDIANA HATE-GAYS "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM" LAW?
Let's share the blame: Congressional liberals introduced a weak bill, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, that left out housing, education, public accommodations, and health care, as if GLBT people did not need those things. Typically, "liberal" legislators make their deals and sell out ab initio, leaving nothing to negotiate over later. The bill fizzled. Yet it sent a message like no one has done since President George H.W Bush's Ambassador April Glaspie signaled Saddam Hussein an invasion of Kuwait was okay. http://foreignpolicy.com/2011/01/09/wikileaks-april-glaspie-and-saddam-hussein/
