And I feel your assertion is short sighted.
Criminalizing Christianity is the tactic NOW but is only a part of, and the first step in, a much larger totalitarian strategy.
sigh.
Well GoFundMe shut it down.....soup nazis !!
Liberals are soooooo tolerant of other people..................
Franklin Graham started accepting donations for their legal defense after their GoFundMe was shut down, but it’s under the larger umbrella of his ministry which as I understood it helped shield the Klein’s from having the court go after all the funds the Klein’s raised personally. Maybe someone else remembers this better, but I donated through Samaritan’s Purse with a note for the funds to be earmarked.
sooner [hopefully] or later, the queers and their promoters will run across someone who understands that $135k is equivelent to attempted murder and theyll reply in self-defense and there will be a couple less queers and an evil enabler in ‘the world’...
In this case the time for civil disobedience may soon pass. Think Lexington Green.
I dont think so. For a fire to start the tender has to be dry. It isnt dry enough yet. The sheeple have not been directly impacted yet. They still have enough petty freedom.
They should countersue for malicious persecution.
Franklin Graham is helping raise funds through Samaritan’s Purse under “persecuted Christians USA.” http://www.samaritanspurse.org/donation-items/persecuted-christians-usa/
An attorney affiliated with the Alliance Defending Freedom has taken up the case. http://www.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/
Plus normal, everyday people have raised at least $150,000 for them to fight this battle.
They have some heavy hitters behind them. This will be a huge test case for religious liberty.
I like this analogy so I’ll use it again: conservatives are in a situation akin to a very bad marriage. In this marriage over time the wife has shot the dog, burned dowm the house, sold the children’s kidneys on craigslist, and drained the bank account to buy crack. And now we come home to find her banging the neighbors in the front yard.
Our response to this sort of thing is usually some variation on the theme of staying the course. Because “this time it’ll be different.” The more “aggressive” of our conservative compatriots might advocate Stern Marital Counseling.
The cake case is just another symptom. At what point is the marital relationship itself examined?
You don't understand the things those poor lesbians had to suffer through....
List of Complaints Alleged Against Aaron and Melissa Klein
It's lucky they're still alive.
I’ve heard that an equal quantity of Ex-Lax can replace the sugar and no one could tell the difference...
;-)
...until later...

This needed to be re-posted.
I’d love to know the address of the offended so I can send them a cake that says “Jesus Loves You.” Something along the lines of blessing those that curse you and heaping burning coals. An outpouring of love like that en masse would either make them apoplectic or lead them to salvation. Of course there is the scripture about pearls before swine, but it might be worth a shot if a few hundred of us tried gifting them with cakes with a love message from scripture. (Ducking)

>>By the way,....My husband is spending the week windsurfing at Hood River. All the money he will spend this week will be **not** be in Hood River. Nope! Instead, he is staying in Stevenson, Washington, and sailing from that side of the river.
Washington is not exactly a bastion of Christian Conservatism either. This is why the Conservative Revival movement is doomed from the start. We won’t even cancel our adventure vacations for the cause because...”we’re special and, gosh durn it, we earned it”.
One would need to be a lawyer in that realm. But what should be argued is that consistent with the ruling, a black or Muslim baker should be compelled to bake a special cake for a KKK celebration, just as if there were sign makers.
For unlike other cases, this was a request for a custom work, not like refusing to sell any standard item, or to rent a function hall.
