Christians and common sense win one, but this is not the end of this garbage. The sodomite nazis will sue in Federal court. If a Federal judge rules for religious freedom, which is highly unlikely, and it goes to the Supreme Court, sodomites will get their wish.

A win for Religious Freedom.

[heye2monn]

Yep. And it’s already one of the worst courts in history.

Liberals definitely believe in slavery. They pull back when they are exposed...for now. The way this country is sliding, soon they won't be stopped with reason or the law. It will require force.

Was it MLK who said, "Everything they did in Nazi Germany was legal."

Liberals crave real, live civil war...the hot kind.

But not for long. In case you have not noticed, all of the success that the pro-gay marriage movement has had is a result of Federal Courts applying recent equal protection jurisprudence to state law, and in some cases state constitutional provisions. Via the commerce clause, the definition of what is a part of "interstate commerce" has been expanded to the point that there is nearly nothing that is not reachable on commerce clause grounds. So, enjoy this seeming victory while you can, the forces that brought you gay marriage in many parts, soon to be all, of the country, are tenacious and sophisticated in their legal strategies, and eventually they will get around to relative minutiae like this wedding chapel. As I have posted ad nauseum, the only thing that would stop gay marriage would be a Federal Constitutional Amendment prohibiting it, or at least excluding state restrictions on marriage from the reach of equal protection. That is not very likely as a political matter, especially since you see no one working on that at present.

A win for Religious Freedom.

I can be, as a family friend calls the type of person, a "Nattering Nabob of Negativity"... so let me just agree that this is a win... but it is a win on a technicality. Brand an asterisk on this because next time the homofascists will assuredly be sure to have law rewritten as to inflict the maximum damage on "breeders" that happen to adhere to a belief system that does not support faggotry.

Thank you for referencing that article NKP_Vet. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

It’s too bad that we’re hearing about technicalities with this issue when the media should be emphasizing the major constitutional problem of local / state governments wrongly unreasonably abridging people's constitutionally enumerated rights, the right of religious expression in this example. Section 1 of the 14th Amendment prohibits the states from doing such things.

” . . . the Hitching Post would have to become a not-for-profit to be exempt”

---

And I am sure that not-for-profit application will sail right through.

Right past the flying pigs.

[vpintheak]

Hallelujah! Yes we must remain vigilant. Christians must remember we are soldiers of the cross! Stand up for Jesus! Soft squishes and their feel-good religion have only emboldened these control-freak socialists.

[Billthedrill]

Word is the CDA city government caught a little heat. I had nothing to do with it. Almost.

[Mears]

“I can be, as a family friend calls the type of person, a “Nattering Nabob of Negativity”.”

That’s a Spiro Agnew phrase.

Appoint jurists to the SCOTUS that demonstrate a thorough understanding of enumerated powers. Problem solved.

[GeronL]

for now.

They will try again.

[Rodamala]

That’s a Spiro Agnew phrase.

Never knew that... never thought to find the origin of the phrase... Good to know. Thanks!

[Vigilanteman]

As some other freeper so crudely, but accurately posted, the Soddies won't be happy until they can do a clusterf*** around an altar with the blessing of the parish priest.

Maybe not even then.

[Waryone]

The laws are not being applied evenly. The Hitching Post’s ordained ministers are not required to perform gay marriages because of religious freedom laws. So the ordained ministers are given religious freedom but the general public is not? You have to be an ordained minister for the first Amendment to apply? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

What about the businesses that have been forced to serve homosexuals against their own personal religious beliefs? Don’t they have religious freedom too? Don’t they get they get the benefit of those laws? Why doesn’t the first Amendment apply to them as well?

All people should be allowed religious freedom to conduct their business whether they do it for a profit or not, whether their business is a specifically ordained ministry or not.

[NKP_Vet]

Don’t hold your breath for any of the media to stand up for Religious Freedom. Not even Fox News. They never mention sodomite “marriage”. They have caved into the sodomite nazis like the rest of the media.

[NKP_Vet]

Of course I agree with you 100%.

[Hostage]

Ted Cruz has announced he will be proposing a Constitutional Amendment concerning this.

[Theodore R.]

I believe either Bill Safire or Pat Buchanan actually wrote the funny Agnew lines.
