A Liberal can be your “Friend”, as long as you agree with them. Where we Conservatives will laugh off some stupid thing that a Liberal says or does, the Liberal would eagerly put you in a Reeducation Camp for defying their beliefs.

Welcome to the Fundamentally Changed America Comrades.

May God Bless this brave Woman.

The problem is the effing Attorney General of that state! Jeeze, Louise! Fight CRIME, put the Bad Guys in JAIL - not this stupidity! The gays didn’t even file the complaint against her - though I’m sure they threw a hissy fit. *Rolleyes*

“Waggoner said penalizing someone for acting on their own religious beliefs violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Waggoner said ADF plans to appeal the judge’s ruling.”

Appeal, appeal, appeal! And then appeal some more!

If homosexuals have a right to a marriage certificate, people who find this conflicts with their religoon have an equal right to refuse to participate.

One thing I’ve been missing in these “trials” is the words “a jury found her guilty”. It’s always been a single judge that is basically on the payroll of some bureaucratic agency.

The same for the cake bakers in Oregon. No jury trial, just a decree by a judge.

People need to demand jury trials!

People get jury trials. Corporations don't.

The solution is disincorporation. It's the elephant in the living room. This kind of atrocity will continue until Christians find the courage to admit the existence of the elephant.

It’s heating up, getting close to a flashpoint. All we need is a spark.

The Washington state anti-discrimination laws are a direct violation of the 1st Amendments freedom of assembly clause. The first amendment protects the right to peacefully assemble for the purpose of business and also protects the right to NOT assemble.

The trend in Federal court seems to be the broadening of individual rights; gun ownership, CCW, gay rights, so her 1st amendment argument likely has some traction. Thats going to take awhile though. In the meantime, I wonder if gay bakers will be sued and fined into oblivion for refusing to make "God Hates Fags" wedding cakes for the Westboro crew?

Go ahead and serve them...replace the chocolate in the cakes with Ex-Lax, and lace the “bride’s” bouquet with poison ivy...that should make for an interesting honeymoon.

Jesus said pick up your cross and follow me. To follow the goodness of our Christ is fraught with pain and hardship. But we know it is the only way to be a holy people.

Why the hell isn’t this a violation of her God-given Constitutional Right of “Freedom of Association”...found in the First Amendment?

I agree, but I don’t roll over when faced with evil.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 effectively abolished freedom of association.

This level of punishment would be a clear violation of the 8th amendment to the US Constitution.

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted"

High level fines and/or loss of a home or comparable property are way out of proportion to the claimed offense.

The only explanation for inflicting such a high level of punishment is vindictiveness, revenge or to cow any other heterosexuals who may be inclined to assert their religious principles in similar cases.

The judge has some sort of a personal investment in promoting the homosexual tyranny or has completely lost track of the law, the ability to make a sound judgement, or the supposed impartiality of the judiciary.

Not really.

Unless there was a Constitutional Amendment. Constitutional rights trump “civil rights”.

I think there are some judges out there who need to be disbarred.

I once had hope for this country. Its priorities are up its collective a$$. Murderers don’t get this treatment.
Rape, theft, terrorism and murder gets you apologies and sympathy from the left. If you violate a norm of political correctness you are hunted hounded stripped and impoverished.

"If I did Rob's wedding, it would be from my heart because I think he is a really special person and I would want to make it really special for him. It wasn't something that I said, 'Oh, I'm not going to do Rob's wedding because he is gay.'"

So, her "really special" friend sued her and now she will be financially ruined?

There is a lesson in here somewhere...

... (other than a lot of lampposts in Washington really need to be "decorated")...
