Right now in America there is an agenda to silence people of faith, those who hold a dissenting opinion, Duggar said. Thats not what America was founded on. America was founded on respect, tolerance, and really not discriminating against people based on their religious convictions.
Raw Story points out Duggar is saying he believes a court ruling affirming marriage equality would be discriminatory against Christians who want to discriminate against LGBT people.
uhhh...

This has to be an 100% American ritual; homegrown, like Mormonism and Scientology.

(9,356 posts)The burning cross symbolizes "bringing the light of Christ to the world."
Also, Scottish non-K clans used a burning cross to signal meetings. Or so I was told.
I grew up in a Kluxer area. They used to hold their rallies at a car racing track nearby.
Those idiots got the most attention for attacking blacks. But at least in my part of the South, they were also famous for attacking union organizers. Along with "trashy" white folks.
And good luck reporting their vigilante attacks to the local law. They were usually members.
