Freedom of Bigotry

According to the jubilant Eva Brauns at the Concerned Women for America, Bush has promised to veto ENDA on religious freedom grounds. ENDA would not allow religious people to fire employees whose sexuality offends their sensibilities.

Never mind that gays have been and will continue to lose their employment merely for being gay. It is more important that religious people retain their right to be bigots than for discriminated minorities to have basic rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I sometimes wonder if Bush would have vetoed the Emancipation Proclamation because it violated the plantation owner's religious beliefs that he is superior to blacks and therefore should be allowed to exploit them like cattle.
