New Year’s resolutions: get outdoors more often, read more books, and stop hanging out with people who only bring up the Holocaust as a way to illustrate unrelated arguments and never to talk about the systematic murder of six million Jews.
This week the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune published an editorial, “Wedding Cakes And Conscience,” contending that a baker in Colorado being forced to design a wedding cake for a gay couple would constitute a violation of his freedom of expression. To illustrate the point, the Tribune encouraged readers to understand Colorado baker Jack Phillips’ predicament, saying, “imagine a Jewish baker being required to put a swastika on a cake.”

The newspaper rounded off the article about why the gay couple should stop “forcing a baker to swallow his objections” by pointing out that the cake situation is not the same as Black Americans being turned away from businesses during the Jim Crow area, since the issue there was just that a lot of the time Black people needed to use the bathroom, which is a “basic bodily function.” You know, that thing that happens after you eat a cake with a swastika on it.
Freedom of expression really is an amazing thing. In only one article, a newspaper managed to take anti-Semitism out of context to make a point about how gay people should be grateful and stop complaining, while saying that the Black civil rights movement was mostly propelled by the need to use the bathroom.
Is there a journalism award for insulting three minority groups at once? If so, nominate the Tribune.
The fact that anti-Semites point this out doesn’t change the fact that the state of Israel, among other authorities, recognizes the Jewish ethnicity independent of religious belief or practice.
True, and it’s not related to it, although the antisemites try to de-legitimize Israel on that false basis as well as others.
I think the concept of anti-Semitism itself is more associated with “Jewish” as an ethnicity rather than a religious belief. If a person hates Christians, he doesn’t continue to hate a person who has abandoned Christianity and professed atheism. However, an anti-Semite does not care what the Jewish person believes.
I am fairly certain the author knows about the anal part of analysis.
Who?
He made wedding cakes for a lot of people. That was his business.
Nor would he make cakes for anything else that violated his beliefs (e.g., Halloween cakes), cakes with denigrating or negative messages.
Halloween aficionados are not a protected class.
And the Supreme Court overturned the Wisconsin Supreme Court. But before it could have gotten to any court the defendant had to be arrested and charged with the crime.
At the time of the Colorado charge (by an unelected “civil rights” board) same sex marriages were not recognized by the state of Colorado. Why should a baker or photographer have to participate in an unofficial pretend marriage ceremony?
>> If you refuse to bake a cake for a Nazi, you aren’t discriminating against a person with protected status under the law.
Auntiefaaaahs called for violent beatdowns (vigilante attacks on persons they hate) and were quite willing to accept that some white men and women who would be assault might not actually be racist/NAZIs but that it was all good.
No civil rights violations there?
That’s how things are bearing themselves out.
There is also another tactic of the ethnic antisemites who try to convince the religious antisemites, that being the false claim that the Jews who went to the state of Israel are actually not ethnic Jews but Khazars. The real Khazars were a Turkic people who inhabited the Caucasus and built an empire that stretched into modern-day Ukraine and southeastern parts of Russia.
Why didn’t the faggots sue the State of Colorado?
That's just bats. I'm familiar with the Khazars: they weren't ethnically Semites at all, but an unrelated nation that adopted the Jewish faith.
It can’t be the same because there is no such thing as a “homophobe.” That is a made-up word invented by the Left to force their agenda on everyone.
His seminal essay, On the Jewish Question outlins how antisemitism is going to be backed into his philosophies:
What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.…. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist
And henceforth, leftism/communism wasn't good for Jews.
Chief Rabbi of Moscow Jacob Maze said, "The Trotsky's make the revolution, the Bronsteins pay the bills." (The was a reference to Leon Trotsky, whose family name was Bronstein)
Not a surprise.
Being wrong about this does not make Mr. Koestler wrong about everything.
The point, however, is that marriage is inarguably a choice. Thus, even IF orientation is immutable, the Jewish baker comparison is still valid. Whether or not you choose to be homosexual, you CHOOSE to get married, just as you CHOOSE being a Nazi.
Therefore, you can no more force a Christian baker to participate and proclaim a gay marriage than you can force a Jewish baker to proclaim Naziism.
Muslims are just being used by leftists. When they are finished with them, the Muslims will be treated just like the Christians. Leftism is the religion that is a threat.
In Iran, the Ayatollah worked with leftists to overthrow the Shaw. Then the Ayatollah’s government killed off the leftists.
Wow, that news got buried pretty successfully.
Zero ‘suggested’ we could have an American genocide and directly compared Trump with Adolf yesterday in a CBS news interview. There are several sources; your favorite search will turn them up.
OK then; this is about trying to argue logic with Satan. The pro-sodomite-marriage types did not achieve their aims with logic, but with force. The left-wingers on the Supreme Court are of that anti-logic pro-force mindset. Therefore, force is the only thing they respect and force is what they think correct to use their way in all situations.
