Alan Colmes: Imprisonment or a Fine Appropriate for Christian Small Business Owner...

...who won't bake gay wedding cake

I was reading on a facebook page today: Soooo, would I be wrong to send a local KKK chapter a list of black businesses and tell them to demand that the business provide services for their next rally?

What a clever question… should the government be allowed to tell business what should and shouldn’t do even if it means doing something that the business considers unethical? Alan Colmes seems to think so and be imprisoned if they don’t obey government edict.

Ah, the tolerant left strikes again– Far left crank Alan Colmes argued today that imprisonment or a fine is appropriate for a business that won’t serve gays.

Tucker Carlson: We can disagree on something without you calling the cops and getting you sent to prison because you disagree with me. Every gay person I know I think would agree with that… It’s sick to imprison someone who won’t bake a cake a gay wedding.

Video at link. Instead of getting their collective panties in wad(HMM, poor choice of words dealing with this demographic?) Here's an idea, since the LGBT(FUBAR) community prides itself on being well educated and tend to be of much more than modest means, why don't they open up their OWN gay-friendly businesses? Hey, it's free enterprise, that still means something

“... why don’t they open up their OWN gay-friendly businesses?”

:::::::::

What? And pass up all the preferential hand-outs and freebies the radical left gives them, and does for them, just to keep their votes? That would be too much work, anyway. Someone else should pay for their freak show. (/s)

With liberals, the joy is in using force, not letting free markets work this issue out.

You wanna start a CW, Colmes?

Just let the lib-O-dorks do that to him.

We’ve had it.

There is a reason gun sales are going through the roof.

Does Colmes support similar punishment for Muslim owned businesses that refuse to serve gays?

There’s a halal bakery and restaurant here in town.

Think I’ll go in next week, order a BLT, and then file a lawsuit against them after they throw me out.

The Wit and Wisdom of Alan Colmes - Translated: Businesses belong to the government, since they couldn’t exist without the infrastructure the government built for them. Therefore, they have to do whatever the government says. :)

It still seems to me that bakers and photographers could avoid this problem by listing themselves as “artists.” Baking may not be very artistic, but cake decoration is.

I believe we have a long tradition of “artistic freedom” in this country, including the right to decide what work one is willing to do.

And if an artist is forced to work for someone they don’t like, then they can take advantage of their artistic license to....uh....make a statement.

You may be learning what it means to be a member of a vanquished group; Beatings,killings, rapes, insults, ignorance, poverty, crushed by the victors suits all come with the territory occupied by conquered peoples. As the Gaul said to the Roman; “Woe to the conquered!” For a comparison with today’s psychology I refer people to American exclusionary attitudes before the Civil War. In short, no nonsense.

Feelings like those expressed by Alan Colmes make me post this over and over.. please use scroll bar if you find it tedious.

The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever! They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.

They hijacked the now defunct Democratic Party in the 1970s. The new party is the Demobrat Party consisting of the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue. The fault is ours. Abe will explain from "the other side."

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Alan Colmes is one of the ugliest people on the face of the earth. He’s not very good looking either.

The Progressives are becoming more and more brazen every day. (Double standards everywhere.)
