You would never even imagine this was the issue if you read the incessant media propaganda about the hateful anti-gay Christians who won’t even bake somebody a cake.

I think this argument about the Arizona law will be academic a week from now.

The shyster lawyers are going to take a hit though. They won’t be making the big bucks here with their queer lawsuits. Brewer needs to sign this and just forget about it. His gayness, Eric the Holder is going to sue Arizona for something anyway. We’re his favorite target. I’ll be glad when he’s finally sent to prison.

It never ceases to amaze how much some people hate blacks so much — that they would compare their struggle for rights to demands made by perverts with an anus fetish.

In just a few short years, we’ve gone from the Left wailing about gays being bullied.

Just who is doing the bullying now?

Well here is the HUGE problem with this issue and Bill. If this is held up as Constitutional (it won’t be), what happens when the non-Christians are in charge? What happens if a Muslim doctor doesn’t want to treat a Christian patient who is about to die?

The supporters of this Bill are only looking at it through one lens. There is no way that this Bill doesn’t become an utter disaster for Christians in AZ.

Oh everything is just fine and dandy when your group is in charge ... but what about when they aren’t? (and no, your group isn’t always going to be in charge).

In the leftist mindset, any lie they tell that advances their cause(”utopia” on earth via a totalitarian state) is “truth”.

Take their money, do the job. No one says you have to do it with enthusiasm.

I don’t think you can deny service to a “class” of people if you are peddling your wares and services in the “public market place”.

No-I think this will turn into a major battle on the gay's part. There is furor all over the net. Good, drag them out into the sunlight and let everyone see their tactics.

I guess the photogs and bakers could just say; “Sorry. Family vacation that week. We’ll be closed.” And then take a vacation that week. What could the courts do then? A vacation week would be less than the fine.
That doesn’t fix the problem of bully gays, but might protect the particular person/business from loss.

The Ukrainians revolted and faced armed men with molotov cocktails and their bare hands. Americans just bend over and take more of the same.

There will be no battle here. I think it’s going to be an academic subject a week from now because I don’t think the brave AZ Governor is going to sign this, she’ll probably Veto it instead. From what I’ve read on it, she Vetoed a similar law last session.

She has already said she won’t do one or the other until Friday, which is the deadline. What’s that tell you? She wants every pressure group that’s against this law to protest loudly and publicly, so she’ll have an excuse to declare “the people have spoken!” and then she’ll Veto the bill. She will not hear the protests from our side.

A Colorado bakery owner illegally discriminated against a gay couple when he refused to bake a wedding cake for the pair last year because of his Christian religious beliefs, a judge ruled on Friday.

Fine. Substitute sugar for salt.

This is why Conservatives should never surrender Social issues. Fiscal & social freedom are rooted in Constitutional framework.

The radical gays would jail us all if they could.
