True RIGHTS Can Never Depend on the Coerced Cooperation From Others

I would make the point that governments don’t have rights. Governments only have powers. A right is only the domain of the individual. And only the individual has a right; groups or sub groups only excercise powers that should be limited, not emphasized.

“No one can force me to provide any service that I deem inappropriate. Is that explicit enough for you. I will answer to GOD, not to men.”

I agree completely. A Christian baker doesn’t have to bake a gay wedding cake, just as a black baker doesn’t have to bake the KKK cake, or the Jewish baker the NAZI cake. All those examples violate the bakers rights.

Then come to my home, mow my lawn and finish rebuilding my deck. NOW.

Our government has become corrupted and evil. Our rights come from GOD not the government. The government will not force me to disobey GOD.

I didn’t write that. It’s not in my handwriting.

Just as I thought, you really do not believe, or want to live by what you say. You just want to point at others and tell them that they need to behave a certain way, live a certain way.

Rules for thee, not for me.

The same behavior as the Libs.

Your analogy is bogus. Just because you tell me to do something doesn’t mean I have to do it, especially since I don’t mow lawns for a living. But if I am running a mowing service, I can’t refuse to work for you because you are black and I can’t refuse to hire you because you are black.

That’s the law, settled by the Supreme Court. Not my fault. I’m not on the Supreme Court. Complain to them or find a country where you can do it.

A business is an association. I can associate or NOT associate with anyone I choose. It is my right to do so.

Here on FR, we are ‘associating’. Since you are my ‘associate’ and you feel as you do, you should mow my lawn.

And nice try with the ‘black’ thing. Engaging in homosexual behavior is a ‘bogus’ and lib-talking-point analogy to being a black skinned person. Behavior compared to being. analyze at your leisure.

“you should mow my lawn.”

But I am not because I don’t have a business mowing lawns. If you would like some code punched, my rates are $100 an hour.
