And therein lies the real problem: the GOP's complete rejection of conservatism.

No testosterone.
They butted heads with the almighy Dollar. No surprise who won that battle.
Besides today's Republican leadership being squishy and wobbly, they attack the very base that they expected to have their backs on this?

Good analysis of the rout.
Only one side fights.
One simple word: cowardice.
Gutless politicians who can be bullied by the Gaystapo and their supporters.
What’s the plan? Anyone?
When I heard that Walmart had given the word to the Arkansas governor to get his mind right, I immediately saw that as Walmart making themselves an extremely inviting target for direct action.
By which I mean a total boycott and regular picketing.
What is wrong with this idea?
I know - don-o suggested it. don-o needs to organize it. But, why would not even one of the existing organizations consider real direct action?
The children of darkness are way more committed than the children of light.
This is an excellent analysis, as always, by Brian.
His organization is worthy of our most generous support.
Two scenarios:
1. A gay couple chooses a Christian provider for their wedding, then sues him when he refuses.
2. A gay couple chooses a Christian restaurant to buy a sandwich, then sues the restaurateur when he refuses.
I think, for a number of valid historical reasons, people in general support the Christian business owner in (1), but would support the gay couple in (2). The left-wing strategy was to conflate (1) and (2).
Was there anything that distinguished catering to a public display of homosexual activity, which the gay “wedding” is, and catering to a universal human need, such as eating sandwiches? I read the bill briefly and it does not seem to make the distinction.
Under-focusing on the express wording of the first amendment, including both religious freedom and freedom to associate, is the error referred to here. When couched in terms of the whole amendment, the argument is much stronger and less prone to subversion by "feelings".
The lack of back bone in R politicians simply magnifies the outrageousness of the left's bull stuff.
” And therein lies the real problem: the GOP’s complete rejection of conservatism. ”
You totally missed their point. We conservatives shy away from activism and never take to the streets (like the other side does) to lend crucial support to (as well as hold the feet to the fire of) the people we elect.
We elect people and tell them OK go fight the war for us, we’ll have your back on free republic.
So wherein lies the real problem? We all have a mirror - all we need to do is look at it.
If I call a pizza place and tell them that I want two dozen pizzas delivered somewhere tomorrow night they will assume that it's some sort of gathering, but they won't ask what it is (it could be anything from a children's birthday party to a work function to a church gathering to a wedding). All the pizza place will do is ask for my credit card number and general info. And the reason for this is because they know that them providing pizza doesn't indicate their opinion one way or another on what the occasion is (nobody cares if there are a bunch of Papa John's boxes in a meth lab, it's just pizza).
However, weddings are different. A decorated wedding cake from a specific bakery carries an implicit endorsement and the same goes for a catering company with their name on vans outside. The ACLU and others might make a fuss, but would anyone really be surprised if a bakery refused to make a cake promoting pedophilia? Would a caterer be expected to cater an orgy? This is no different.
Seventeen years ago when my wife and I were getting things arranged for our wedding there was a particular bakery that we wanted to have the cake from. We made an appointment, went and tasted cakes, picked out a design and had it all figured out UNTIL we informed them that the wedding was over a hundred miles away and then the bakery refused to do it. We went back and forth for several days, we offered to pay for renting a refrigerated truck, we said we'd pay extra for their workers, we would have a fully-equipped commercial kitchen for them to use, etc. Basically, we told them that we would give them anything they wanted to make the cake; however, they were unwilling to take the risk of ruining the cake, they wouldn't even let us have someone else pick up the cake from them and bring it BECAUSE IT WOULD AFFECT THEIR REPUTATION. So, we respected their decision and got our wedding cake elsewhere and we continued to buy cakes and pastries from them until we moved away two years ago, we certainly never contemplated suing them.
I might add an e to GOP, there is a difference. The GOPe has been absent in the culture war, and now we are up against the wall with moral absolutes hanging in the balance.
One point that has not been mentioned other than by Mithter Limbaugh, and that is his research indicating that much of the internet opposition ginned up by homosexual activists rests in the capable hands of ten that’s right, TEN people with computers who can generate a blizzard of fake opponent in every state in these United States.
The organization of the Left is the Leviathan....that is the true strength of Communism—their organizational skills and ability to infiltrate and gain control of all institutions (and all allowed ideas), whether inside Catholic seminaries or on top of publishing companies who control all curricula
They gain the power positions and squeeze and threaten-—and they will kill the children or worse, of anyone who tries to thwart them.
All people have weaknesses....all-—and all can be destroyed by a word planted in the MSM which the Left has controlled for 100 years when JP Morgan bought up all the APs and the laundering Foundations were used to control even mainline (religionless) “churches”..
Everything is political and all ideas matter and affect Worldview. The Christian Worldview has been attacked since the 19th Century (or before) and it has to be destroyed to create “happy slavery”. No risk-taking mature, moral intelligent males are allowed in this culture anymore-—and they are fixating (sexualizing) boys into puerile, narcissistic stages (Bieberization)....so they will be easily controlled and manipulated-—Libido Dominandi (St. Augustine).
This is the Leviathan-—people in power (Demonic sodomites) are so evil and corrupt that there can be no opposition-—when there is great pushback and a great platform, it is Brietbart time. All people who knew Brietbart will be controlled-—and contained and the descent into hell continues with the elimination of all opposition.
Courage?????? That Virtue is intentionally eliminated in “public schools” as is all the intentional emasculation and destruction of Virtue in both girls and boys and the instillation of hate, dependency and “group think”-—”groupings” (Marxism) and sexualization (to destroy all Christian moral formation) and create evil, ignorant puerile males/females.)
All Virtues hinge on the other Virtues. Virtue is habituated and taught only in childhood and then encouraged by “culture”—with Classical Education (including Bible)-—Wisdom is worthless without Courage and Temperance and Justice.
What we see is lack of true Christianity (because they have a great chance of being killed—or their families will be)—Christianity of the St. Paul/Founding Father variety.
It is only Christian culture which became the most Free and Just-—no other Worldview sees the Face of God in all human beings and would be willing to die for their families and friends and Justice for All-—people who just want to be self-sufficient, and left alone, and Free and have Free Will to do what God demands of them, so they and their families will flourish. Freedom of Association and Freedom of Conscience and Private Property Rights which can’t be infringed upon, is essential for true Freedom. That elimination in all three areas is so obvious now, it is a JOKE—that we are “free”......LOL-—the Founders have been turning in their graves for 100 years.
Our “Legal” system is a joke.....and Cicero stated that when Just Law does not exist, it is a matter of time before complete destruction. Our “Laws” are being morphed into Rule of Man (Stalin’s Constitution) starting at the turn of the 20th century .
That is an excellent story, Wagglebee, and it gives one reason a business can have to not provide a service. Marlowe gave one for lawyers the other day. They might simply not want to take a particular case or a particular kind of case.
I'll admit that I think race is a different issue. Race is my one holdout. There is something about a location that has a history of rejecting gingers, for instance, that would bother me. I wouldn't like a sign in a door that says, "No Gingers!" And the poor gingers could be living in an area where a majority feels negative toward gingers.
Where would they shop, eat, whatever?
In a big city, there'd be plenty of other businesses the gingers or their friends could shop at, and the ginger-haters would suffer in their business because of it. But in some small towns, that ginger-hating group could comprise the entire town.
But RACE is NOT a choice, a behavior, a whim. Race is among the highest order genetic typologies with zero deviation.
