I don't understand how it has come down to forcing private individuals out of business this way. It's a shame.

When the Mocha Mullah said, “You didn’t build that” what he really meant was, “It doesn’t matter if you built that, it isn’t yours.”

The Gaystapo wins another battle in their War Against God. But we know who wins the war.

It means doing what the state wants.

Or Else!

They made the right choice, rather than bow, but eventually we will get a stage where militancy will be needed on the part of non-degenerate members of society. The only good Brownshirt is a dead Brownshirt

Good for the Giffords! They still have their integrity and their property intact.

New York State is a Nazi state. Anyone who lives there ought to reconsider, and move to a state where the Bill of Rights means something.

The atheist killjoys wanted to shut these people down, and they succeeded, easily. Unless normal Americans get their heads out of the sand and unite to fight back, it will all be over.

That is a victory for them. This is a war by economic sanctions on Christians and whoever else may have the faith and courage to refuse to salute the flag of Sodom, and bow down to its principalities.

It may be better to refuse to shut down, and prayerful enlist supporters as the fines mount and go to court. And jail is necessary.

That’ll teach them haters. Hmm. How many folks are gonna be out of work because of this. What the hell happened to “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” I guess it’s now “We must serve any and everyone regardless of anything under pressure from the US Govt.” Sad dang sitcheeatchin.

Where are the conservative counterparts to the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, etc. ?
