There is one sure-fire way to stop any particular dumb idea being pushed by liberals. Whatever the topic, it is almost guaranteed.
Simply turn it around and apply any liberal proposal or regulation to liberals. You will watch any dumb idea disappear or crazy law be repealed so fast you won’t know what happened. That’s what happened to the Independent Counsel law. As soon as Republicans started using it against Democrats, specifically Bill Clinton, abruptly Democrats fell out of love with the law and let it lapse when it was up for renewal.
Liberals live in a world of double standards. So if you force them to live by their latest hair-brain scheme, they will drop it like a hot potato. Liberals won’t ever admit they were wrong. But they will forget all about it.
Now, liberals want to force conservative and Christian bakers to make wedding cakes for gay weddings, photographers to cover the wedding, florists to decorate it, etc. And now at last – if anyone didn’t already figure it out – the real purpose of the push for homosexual weddings is unmasked. The gay marriage issue is only about left-wing fascism.
Yet the solution is surprisingly easy. All across the nation, we need conservative activists with a little funds to launch the following campaign:
(1) Search for left-leaning or homosexual-wedding-friendly bakeries, florists, photographers, etc.

Buy a Betty Crocker cake mix and let a 16 year old make the cake. Does the law specifically require the cake taste good?
Gay hair stylist drops New Mexico governor as client because she opposes same-sex marriage
We have a BINGO here!
Many of my fellow FReepers are unaware that I am the promoter of the
Maine Same Sex Marriage Proposal
Same sex couples working in the lumber industry would be allowed to contract "marriage" for the northwoods lumber season only, said marriage lapsing with the Spring Thaw. This I thought might cut down on violence and STDs in winter lumber camps and increase lumberjack productivity. What give me the idea was that all the manly women up here, especially those who work for the state, wear really cool heavy lumberjack shirts and caulked boots.
For some reason, my idea has met with a tepid reception among the voters and I may lose my Selectman official status, never mind my perennial bid for schoolboard.
Or just use Ex-Lax or spit as a major ingredient. Works in NYC when you piss off a baker or waiter.
“cake, what wedding cake? “
“Show me your contract please”
LOL!
We should have a bill called the: “Artists and Artisan Freedom of Choice Act”
As any baker making a cusomized cake is essentially an artist.
Could you force a ______ Sculptor to make to a sculpture of _______(offensive to person in first blank).?
[ The best solution I’ve seen, offered up by another Freeper, was to advertise that any profits from cakes made for gay weddings would be donated to gay conversion therapy services. ]
That is good thinking, too many people play checkers when they should be playing chess
Promptly have any cake delivered to a laboratory and tested for those very things.
If present, then call a lawyer with one phone and the health department with another.
I own a Bakery....
I bake cakes for all events, communions , christenings, weddings etc... Yes, there have been a few gay weddings....
There isn’t a “gay” only bakery that I know of... Nor a bakery that won’t convey a Christian message.
This is the most stupid idea I’ve heard yet....
Instead of focusing the attack on the law or culture, mount an almost ineffective attack on bakeries....
Geez....no wonder the liberals laugh at us....
It is very simple. You have a stock photo of a gay wedding cake. And that is the only cake/product that you do for gay weddings. It isn’t as though bakeries produce anything and everything customers want. Even little children know that.

By nature also, conservatives do not deliberately go out of their way to turn something into a lawsuit. They will not seek out businesses they know to be opposed to their views. Hence this kind of thing is more of a surprise to them when it occurs, other than them targeting a business and then hoping for controversy they can turn into a lawsuit.
If I consider Islam to be an abomination ... can I refuse to make a cake for some Islamic holiday?
(serious question)
While I am sympathetic with the tone of the article, there is settled case law that basically states if you open your doors to the public, that means all the public. Not a property rights issue.
I was just going to say I wouldn’t eat the cake. I’d throw it away as soon as I got it out of the bakery. I would order it just to fight fire with fire.
“another example would be to bake a birthday cake for a divorced parent.”
In your world, should a divorced parent never get another birthday cake?
Personally, I don’t care if liberals laugh at us. Besides, I have a feeling we spend a lot more time laughing at them, than the other way around.
