Some animals are more equal than others.
“Rights for me, but not for thee.”
It seems that the way this is going, is that courts will decide it is hate speech if you ask for services critical of homosexuality or liberal causes. Thus service can be refused if you want to make a statement against a liberal cause.
On the other hand, you will be violating a liberal’s civil rights if you refuse service to someone wanting to make a liberal statement.
Probably this ends up, as courts grapple with these issues, that the liberals will end up having it both ways. You will not be allowed to criticize liberal sacred cows, but will not be allowed to not serve liberals in their quest to force everyone to bow to the liberal homosexual agenda.
“We have no government armed in power capable of contending in human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our
Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”
John Adams
Bottom line: WE ARE NO LONGER THAT PEOPLE and are now nearing the end of the process fulfilling Mr. Adams’ dire prediction.
It will get worse from here.
Tocqueville spoke to the same problem after his visit here, to wit:
“I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors...;in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution. Not until I went into her churches and saw pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” (Alexis de Tocqueville, 1840)
“When the religion of a people is destroyed, doubt gets hold of the higher powers of the intellect, and half paralyzes all the others. Every man accustoms himself to have only confused and changing notions on the subjects most interesting to his fellow-creatures and himself. His opinions are ill-defined and easily abandoned; and, in despair of ever solving by himself the hard problems respecting the destiny of man, he ignobly submits to think no more about them. Such a condition cannot but enervate the soul, relax the springs of the will, and prepare the people for servitude. Not only does this happen, in such a case, that they allow their freedom to be taken from them; they themselves frequently surrender it.”
-—Alexis de Tocqueville, “Democracy in America” (1840)
The end game of the secular progressives is in sight! Will we resist or submit and surrender?
BTW, If you believe this “stuff” is just so early 1800s, you are part of the problem.
No discrimination here. NOPE!
These two as phrased do not sound like they are the same thing, the first one says its OK to refuse to put Biblical quoted anti-gay phrases on a cake, the other was about getting fined for refusing to bake and sell a cake for a wedding
In the second case it would be the same if they refused to put pro-gay phrases on the cake.
IOW the government now sanctions certain religions.
Picks winners and losers.
The homosexual atheist religion is endorsed by the government and all others are condemned.
Koran verses?
Bakeries should be free to refuse both.
Well, it is good to see this rank hypocrisy finally demonstrated in perfect clarity.
