Connecticut’s Governor Doesn’t Understand His Own State’s RFRA

By Sean Davis, Mar. 30, 2015 

In case you needed more proof that the recent backlash against religious freedom laws is grounded in pure ignorance, look no further than Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy. Malloy, a Democrat, just announced on Twitter that he plans to sign an executive order banning state travel to Indiana due to the midwestern state’s recently enacted Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Oops, forget hubby's a bigot

Democratic Judicial Candidate's Husband Is A White Supremacist

By Gideon Resnick, Aug. 11, 2014, Thedailybeast.com

The husband of a Democratic candidate running for a judicial seat in Connecticut has just made things very difficult for his wife.

The husband of a Connecticut Democrat running for a probate judge seat caused a social media kerfluffle on Friday after it turned out he’s an enthusiastic backer of what looks a lot like white supremacy, much to the exasperation of his political wife, who faces the voters on Tuesday.

Robert Freeman made headlines on Friday after his blog Mindweapons of Ragnarok was exposed by One People’s Project, an organization devoted to monitoring hate groups.

On his blog, he writes how he wants to establish whites-only towns, employing individuals from other cultures and races as spies in an agenda to shape America in his image.

His wife, Anna Zubkova, is running as a Democrat for a probate judge seat in Plainfield, Conn. The election is on Tuesday and Freeman is rightfully concerned that his political views might infringe upon her chances.

“He did not have those views when we married, but acquired them after,” Zubkova told The Norwich Bulletin. “What am I supposed to do? Divorce him? It’s not unusual for husbands and wives to have different views.”

According to Freeman, Zubkova, who did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast, obtained her citizenship through the marriage.

Freeman originally responded to the allegations on his website in a post Friday.

Chipotle: Don't Bring Guns In Our Stores --Be sure to tell bad guys, "Don't bring guns."

May 20, 2014 2nd Amendment , Chipotle 0 Comments

Chipotle is asking customers not to bring firearms into its stores after it says gun rights advocates brought military-style assault rifles into one of its restaurants in Texas.

The Denver-based company notes that it has traditionally complied with local laws regarding open and concealed firearms.

But in a statement Monday, the company said that "the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers."

The announcement came after a petition by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which has called on other companies to ban firearms in their stores as well. The group said its petition was in reaction to open-carry gun activists appearing at a Dallas-area Chipotle restaurant over the weekend.

Erika Soto Lamb, a spokeswoman for the group, said she thought the move by Chipotle was a "bold statement," especially considering its previous stance of complying with local laws.

Many states allow people to carry licensed guns in some way, but some businesses exercise their right to ban firearms.

A Chipotle spokesman didn't immediately respond when asked if the company's request was an outright ban, or how it would respond if people continued to bring firearms into its restaurants.

Last year, Starbucks Corp. also told customers that guns were no longer welcome in its cafes after it had to temporarily close a store in Newtown, Connecticut, to avoid a demonstration by gun rights advocates. The company said it shut down the store out of respect for the community, where 20 school children and six educators had been slain.
