FULL TITLE: Baker Has a Message for the Gov’t Official Who Just Fined Him $135,000 for Declining a Gay Wedding Cake: ‘He’s Doing This With the Wrong Christian

Just hours after Oregon officials announced that Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweetcakes by Melissa, would be fined $135,000 for their refusal to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding, Aaron Klein had a message for government officials: He has no plans of backing down.

“He wants to silence anyone who opposes his point of view,” Klein told TheBlaze, speaking specifically about Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, who has spearheaded the case against the couple. “Unfortunately, he’s doing this with the wrong Christian, because I fight back.”

Klein also delivered a message to Americans and business leaders about why he believes that his case is monumentally important.

“For years, we’ve heard same-sex marriage will not affect anybody,” he said. “I’m here firsthand to tell everyone in America that it has already impacted people. Christians, get ready to take a stand. Get ready for civil disobedience.”

Hey LGBT, keep those flags flying. Makes you easier to target from the air.

And THAT will happen...within your lifetimes.

We have had it with you.

These people need to be supported. Time to put fear into the bureaucrats.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Roberts will rule that although they’re entitled to free speech, they have to pay a tax on it.

Brad Avakian deserves to spend a few years in a Turkish prison.

Any bets Brad Avakian was led by the faggot activists to this homosexual-designed law written to destroy any business that is anti-gay?

God bless Aaron and Melissa Klein for standing up for their rights under the Constitution.

Looks like Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian has bitten off more than he can chew.

I'm glad to see Aaron and Melissa Klein standing up for their 1st Amendment religious protections. But I wish their message for low-information, pro-gay activist state officials was the key wording emphasized in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment below.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Exactly!

Who the F said that Christians are just supposed to pray then surrender to evil? God hates cowards and those who just pray AND stand around. Fight back!

Big FU to the gag order.

Fag gag?

Anyway I hope they can just tell them NOPE, NOT GONNA GIVE YOU A DIME AND HERE IS WHY...

The Daily Signal reported that the ruling included a “cease and desist,” which reportedly came after Klein was interviewed by the Family Research Council, proclaiming that he and his wife would not back down.

Text in the order reads: “The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries hereby orders [Aaron and Melissa Klein] to cease and desist from publishing, circulating, issuing or displaying, or causing to be published … any communication to the effect that any of the accommodations … will be refused, withheld from or denied to, or that any discrimination be made against, any person on account of their sexual orientation.”



So, the non-enumerated alleged "fag rights" are going to over-rule their enumerated First Amendment Rights?

NO.

Are groups other than the FRC supporting the Kleins? Is there a fund set up for defense?

I agree, this case has enormous implications.
