Re: a matter of conscience
So you introduced a completely new area where the Bible also applies that I hadn't thought of. How gays live their lives doesn't affect Christians in most situations but you made me aware that it can in the case of a hotel.
And a furniture store. What if they sell a couch that a gay couple makes out on? Or indeed, that an atheist sits on while saying that the Bible's a load of toss? Or that a god-fearing Christian homophobe commits adultery on, wait, that one's probably OK, isn't it? No biggie.

definitely twisted news
That headline is of course fake news. Did you know there are whole made-up "newspapers" online these days for the purpose of denigrating Trump.
Skimming the article I see single individuals saying things the headline makes sound like they are the theme of the whole event rather than individual opinions. I don't even know fi I should believe any individual said those things, but assuming that much, the headline is a gross misrepresentation. "Deportation of Jews?" A thirteen year old said protestors should be deported, even if "she" is Jewish. Is that headline a fair representation of that? One man lost it and said he couldn't wait for the genocide of the liberals. One man. The headline suggests that was the theme of the whole march.
The Liberal "resistance" to Trump is unprecedented in American politics.; They are way out of line and Trump supporters are rightly fed up. And this whole article is just another way of drumming up hatred for Trump supporters too. It's no wonder we're sick and tired of the totalitarian Left.

Alternet is extreme lefrtist propaganda
Google it. This is really scummy dirty tricks politics.
AlterNet is a liberal activist news service and a project of the non-profit Independent Media Institute that Launched in 1998. Very strong left wing bias.

Re: Alternet is extreme lefrtist propaganda
Which means that they are better than most of your sources. And NOT "extreme leftist propaganda"
And being hated by the far right is hardly a reason not to trust them.
So, your post comes down to another expression of your totalitarian wish to silence dissenting voices.

Faith twists the news.

It is telling that your argument rests on misrepresenting the quote.
Here is the actual quote:
"If she's Jewish, she should go back to her country," a 13-year-old Trump supporter said of a protester.
Yes, that is a call to deport Jews.

Re: Alternet is extreme lefrtist propaganda
Your evaluation site (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/alternet/) offhand seems to be well done.
Still, I think a source very well could be leftist or rightist, and still be factually accurate. Or they might be peddling fake news.
Take a look at https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/breitbart/ :
quote:
Factual Reporting: MIXED
Notes: Breitbart News Network is a politically conservative American news and opinion website founded in 2007 by conservative commentator and entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart (1969—2012). It also has a daily radio program, Breitbart News Daily. The content ranges from extreme right wing bias to conspiracy to racism (Then you see President Barack Hussein Obama waving the line-cutters forward. He’s on their side. In fact, isn’t he a line-cutter too? How did this fatherless black guy pay for Harvard?). Breitbart has been accused of publishing fake news for the purpose of a political agenda.
Update: As of 8/17/16 Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News LLC, will become Donald Trumps campaign’s chief executive. This move ensures that Breitbart will become the official media outlet and propaganda wing for Donald Trump’s Presidential bid.
Update: After the election 2016 Stephen Bannon was named Adviser to President-Elect Donald Trump.

Re: Faith twists the news.
At best we have a 13 year old in the US (of all places!) who thinks that all "foreigners" should be sent "home". And classes Jews as "foreign".
One wonders where they picked up those ideas.

Maybe at school. Schools are nothing but Leftist propaganda factories these days, they don't teach much of actual substance.

How strange that a child would pick up far-right views from a "Leftist propaganda factory".

Re: Faith twists the news.
But that's the point, they are Leftist, not far-right.; It's the Left that's anti-Semitic these days, which includes being anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, pro-Islam in general, pro jihad, pro destruction of America by jihadists etc etc etc.
