How would a Jewish Scultor feel about being shut down BY OUR GOVERNMENT for refusing to sculpt a bust of Heir Hitler for the Local Neo Nazi group?

Probably the same way as this Baker.

How about a making a Muslim Business cater Ham sandwiches for a business function?

Funny how libs can use relative morality to justify ANYTHING but cannot wargame out the root issue of Businesses and Artisans being able to refuse services on products they specifically custom craft.

Hint: The left pick Christians groups because they are least likey to sue and raise a stink about such things... and they can re-use the meme of “intolerant christians” and the media will lap that shit up...

This was satire, but how about a Black drycleaner refusing to clean a kkk uniform? (Strong language warning).

Your analogy to a “bust of Hitler” ordered from a Jewish sculptor or a ham sandwich from a Muslim deli owner is not a fair one.

This is not about WHAT you make — it about is for WHOM. Civil rights laws for 50+ years have firmly held that businesses can pick their products, but they don’t have the freedom of conscience to pick their customers. In other words, a Muslim doesn’t have to make a ham sandwich, but if chooses to make turkey sandwiches, he can’t refuse to sell them to a Jew who walks in and orders one.

You can argue that there should be no civil rights laws applicable to private businesses, and you can argue that homosexuals should not have civil rights protections, but you can’t argue that existing civil rights laws are being invidiously applied as long as gays are granted protection under them.
