As they did against Catholics in the 1920s.

Oregon has been a stronghold of Progressive silliness for a very long time. They are so Progressive that even Hollywood makes fun of them! Anyone who lives there knows that.

wow! A big part of me wishes that some government official would tell me not to speak about the Lord.

One of these or their activist consultant must have a rap sheet of illnesses/side effects, etc. that was designed by looking at medication fact sheets, LOL!!! They need some of those hats with lights on them to get them out of their depression from lack of sunshine....

I’m so sad for the bakers but pray their boldness will be rewarded!

There are probably more nutcases in that one state than any other except maybe California and that may onky be attributed to its larger size. Its something I’ve noticed since the 80’s so I’m not just making a statement in response to the post. I used to read lots of stories about serial killers and I noticed that California and Oregon produce a much larger share than the others.

The gag order suggests that the official who demands it is weak.

Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian not only upheld the ridiculous $135,000 fine levied against Aaron and Melissa Klein for declining to bake a cake for a lesbian commitment ceremony, but he ordered the Kleins to “cease and desist” from making any public comments about their religious convictions relative to this case.

So it begins. Kommissar Avakian has not only violated the Klien's First Amendment rights .... (what in the hell is a Labor Commissioner in the US?)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

... the 'good' Kommissar also managed to violate his fellow Godless Communist Anthony Kennedy's even worse "watered-down" admonition ....

Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate [gee ... thanks "Justice" Kennedy] with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned

Commissar Avakian has issued his directive from the local soviet.

In one of the most egregious anti-Christian acts committed by a state official in recent memory, Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian not only upheld the ridiculous $135,000 fine levied against Aaron and Melissa Klein for declining to bake a cake for a lesbian commitment ceremony, but he ordered the Kleins to “cease and desist” from making any public comments about their religious convictions relative to this case.

I wouldn’t dismiss it as “silliness”.

The left fully intends a full-on Christian holocaust.

Your wish is their command. To Mr.Avakian It is a compelling mandate. It derives its power from the Absolute authority of the State. Therefore it Must be imposed upon the entire people, regardless about what they believe or how they feel about it. If they disagree they must be repressed, fined, imprisoned or eventually eliminated. Michael Brown is right about the absurdity of the Judges actions. They are just as laughable as the idea that Jews kill little children so they can drain their blood to mix with the dough to make Passover Matzah. This absurdity, unfortunately, is held to be true by Muslims around the world. The consequences of both absurdities are grave. This is a war on the Bible and it’s claim to authority. The emerging global elitist State will suffer no opposition. It will crush, with iron teeth all who resist its reach.
It is interesting that G-d’s command to Adam & Eve in Genesis was concerning Food: not to eat from a certain tree. The result of doing so was death. In the Book of Acts the first restriction place on new believers was also concerning foods, which allowed them to participate in the life of greater Israel. And now, at the “End of Days” the War on Torah is focused on the hideous mandate to force godly people to crown sexual perversion with a cake. It’s pure poetry! Get ready for war, dear reader, Game On.

I am sure this one was true: “shameful”.

What an excellent observation for me to ponder!

And yet Walmart has the freedom to decline making a cake with a Confederate flag on it.
Freedom for me but not for thee..
