This is why we will never be able to defend our country by attacking Mexico, Nicaragua, or Guatemala to stop the invasion. Or have the NG shoot at one single border jumper. The Congress and the states are so frightened of violating the presumed rights of our foreign alien enemies and then having to face a class action lawsuit by La Raza, CAIR, and their omnipresent enabler, the ACLU, and then having to deal with all of the maniacal left-wing Marxist judge crap littering America’s courtrooms, who are only too willing to hand the ACLU a victory for America’s enemies. It is way past time to begin to rein in the overwhelming power of this anti-American lawyers group which has had way too much corrosive influence on judicial decisions favoring everything and anything inimical to and destructive of traditional conservative American cultural values.
Who wants to bet the gay couple tried a few other bakeries before they were denied a cake at this one?
Instead of going to any other bakery that would be happy to have their business, they wanted to FORCE this one to work for them IN COURT -to set legal precedent.
That is the bottom line.
Considering the Hobby Lobby decision then how can they lose?
Precisely.
Even if such marriages are legal, there are people who don’t agree. Should they be forced to provide services to something they don’t agree with?
There are reasonable laws regarding the hospitality industry that address those situations.
I should have been clearer.
I wouldnt go to a re-education camp.
Even if such marriages are legal, there are people who dont agree. Should they be forced to provide services to something they dont agree with?
I would think that the bakery should be able to win this in federal court based on the Hobby Lobby decision.
Apparently somebody died and made this guy Boss.
What a country we're becoming!
So far as being obliged to bake gay wedding cakes, well, you can bake em, but they dont have to be good. Bake them a Mexican sheetcake and see if they want to buy another.
So.........Bon Appetit!!"
Man, I'd not want to get within 1000 yards of a cake like that.
RE: There are reasonable laws regarding the hospitality industry that address those situations.
My point in bringing race up is because this argument will inevitably be brought up in court and a liberal court WILL BUY IT.
The gist of the LGBT argument is this:
IF REFUSING SERVICE TO A BLACK MAN BECAUSE OF HIS RACE IS AGAINST THE LAW ( where one cannot use RELIGION as a shield) ), THEN REFUSING SERVICE TO SOMEONE BECAUSE OF HIS OR HER SEXUAL ORIENTATION SHOULD ALSO BE AGAINST THE LAW.
Conservative lawyers ought to come up with a good argument against that one.
They need to step off before they push too far.
The Civil Rights Act eliminated Freedom of Association.
The Law of unintended consequences.
Everything grows from that Legislation.
The Constitution be damned.
So, refusing service to a black man simply because of his race is constitutional?
“The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.” — GK Chesterton
No one is refusing service to anyone based upon their race.
It is the event that goes against the person’s conscience (whatever the event might be), and that is where the right to refuse to provide a particular service should be protected by the Constitution.
In the case of the Colorado Baker, the homosexuals were already customers. He had never refused them service before. It was the EVENT that was the problem, not the customer.
Hobby Lobby? Please. One win for every thousand cases lost to the ACLU does not a victory make. We are beyond circling the drain.

Here’s a hypothetical question — would blacks be enjoying the kind of freedom they have today if the Civil Rights Act were not passed?
Do perverts like these strike you as possessing a guilt-ridden conscience?
One is on religious grounds. The other can’t be supported on religious grounds.
