Evangelist Franklin Graham, son of famed preacher Billy Graham, decried a decision by Oregon officials to fine bakers Aaron and Melissa Klein $135,000 for refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, calling it “unbelievable.”
“Brad Avakian, Oregon’s Bureau of Labor & Industries Commissioner, upheld the ruling that the Kleins have to pay the lesbian couple $135,000 for a long list of alleged damages including: ‘acute loss of confidence,’ ‘high blood pressure,’ ‘impaired digestion,’ ‘loss of appetite,’ ‘migraine headaches,’ ‘pale and sick at home after work,’ ‘resumption of smoking habit,’ ‘weight gain,’ and ‘worry,’” Graham wrote. “Give me a break.”

Calling all Oregon FReepers: Even if you’re not gay, go to a Muslim-owned bakery and order a Wedding Cake for a gay wedding. Then sue them and make $135,000.
18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law
“Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States . . . shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.”
Any government official punishing a church, minister, bakery, baker, florist, photographer, or other individual or organization for refusing to engage in expressive service or conduct contrary to their religious beliefs is engaged in one of the most heinous felonies imaginable. There are not many crimes serious enough to merit the death penalty, but that sort of persecution - abusing governmental power in the denial of God-given rights - is serious enough to merit capital punishment.
The bullies who abuse the government’s power in the gay “marriage” cause should feel the full force of the law, on the receiving end. Then their (surviving) sympathizers would understand just how evil their totalitarian actions really are. It’s time for thugs like Brad Avakian, Oregon’s Bureau of Labor & Industries Commissioner, to back off or face serious consequences.
It’s not a “gay” wedding cake.
It’s a cake for a same-sex wedding.
Language is important.
I’m surprised that they didn’t include “BAD HANG NAILS” to all of this. These voters will rue the day that they voted for all of these LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS. Today, these people are attacking the defenseless Christians, tomorrow they;ll be attacking some one else. Until there will come a day when they’ll be attacking these voters, and there will be no one to defend them.
Avakian’s payback is coming. When it does he will go down in flames.
How did the plaintiffs have weight gain when they lost their appetite?
If government officials were actually charged and prosecuted for violating that law, at least 3/4ths of government workers would be able to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
For this reason, it would never happen in the absence of J6P taking the Jeffersonian option.
Their lawyer just pulled that out of a book. The judge had already made the decision before the doors even opened.
The fruitcakes’ lawyer forgot to include as consequential damages bad breath, skid marks in their underwear and the development of an overly butch and lipstick image in the community and, not only those awful sufferings but they also had their “feelings” hurt.
We aren’t supposed to question authority, just fall in line.
Church leaders, including Franklin Graham, promised civil disobedience and would have an actionable plan for us before the Obergefell v Hodges decision.
Well, where’s the actionable plan? “Decry” an Oregon decision seems like weak sauce to me. Is that the best Church leaders can do?
I get all those symptoms just from hearing about little boys putting their peckers into each other's orifices.
Obama owes every Conservative in America damages for high blood pressure, to say the least (Smiles)
You may be right. I used to be a secretary to lawyers specializing in representing defendants in civil actions. I could write a book about some of the bogus “injuries” and “damages” plaintiffs have claimed.
Just reading about this travesty of justice and what it says about American religious freedom gives me half these symptoms. Can I get $65000 in compensation from Avakian and the two anti-Christian women?
Easy for you to say. Did you make an effort yourself to rally to his side? What are you doing actively to oppose this, Sir Picks-a lot?
Here's a guy whose stepping up attempting to rally people in opposition, and the best he seems to get is the likes of you sitting at your lazy assed computer throwing spit balls at him.
What are you doing to actually lay yourself on the line?
so when you go to a Garage to get your Brakes fixed and they say , “we don’t do Brakes” , you can Sue big time ?
Gee, that list of ills sounds like what most people deal with on a daily basis just from the stress of Obama’s world being forced down humanity’s throat... why can’t I sue Obama for turning my world upside down? Huh?
