What has politics come to...

Arizona is widely known to pass legislation that is consistently considered questionable to the American people as a whole. But this is there second attempt at legislation that could possibly permit active discrimination. A past attempt included Arizona’s Immigration bill which was later repealed due to its infringement on international territory. Now the specifics of this new bill are still unclear to most of the population, however it appears that it will look something like this. Small business owners will be given the right to deny service based on sexual orientation as long as a religious claim is made.

So far this bill is well underway to becoming an Arizona state law that could open the path to other laws of discrimination in the future. However this bill has to pass the Arizona governor whom many can see supporting either side of the argument. This bill may become law at some point, but the life expectancy on a bill such as this one can be expected to be extremely short due to its nature. Within a year if this bill is ratified we may see it on the steps of the Supreme Court.


Many Americans use their religion as an excuse to look down on others when the principle of nearly every religion is to treat others in a manner that you would like to be treated and that all beings are equal. To see a law like this even considered due to religious reasons is an abomination on what religion stands for. Across the globe foreign nations fight for the right to speak out against their governments, to act against crimes against humanity, and to be secure in their own devices. In America we have given those rights to every human that lives within our borders, and now that we have so little left to fight for we have turned to a point where we wish to restrict the rights of others that we don’t see eye to eye with. It has come to a point where every citizen attempts to limit one another. The NAACP has come so far and accomplished so much for the rights of African Americans, but they fail to see that legal equality has been reached, and now many Americans see them as a threat to the rights of others. Factions similar to the NAACP exist all across the nation and now pose a threat to the rights of others.
