I understand your intolerance towards my idea, and the owners who may use it. It’s not an ‘all or nothing’ approach. It means a much longer road is going to be taken, a road that is invisible to you, thus your condemnation of taking it.

What longer road do you think will be available to you? Judging by past history, where does the trend line lead? I see no evidence that the Gaystapo is going to moderate or wane in their militancy. Do you?

By what possible conjunction of events will they or the courts back off from going even further? If you could present a plausible scenario for showing how they might be defanged, or how Christians might be permitted to operate in peace, then you would have a point. As I see no way that such a thing will come to pass, I don't see you as having a point, I only see what appears to be someone who wants to avoid confrontation with people bent on confrontation.

When the abortion fight began, and it flared into a blaze almost overnight with the SCOTUS ruling, there was a crowd of people who insisted on an ‘all or nothing’ approach for state mandated abortion bans. To my knowledge, none of them ever went anywhere. Instead it was small steps, getting the public involved and behind those smaller steps that has led us to where we are today.

I personally think the Supreme Court should have been rebuked in 1973. Roe v Wade was just one more bridge too far among many. You say we are better off for having accommodated their vile ruling, but you cannot know that the path of confrontation with them might not have been better.

The loss of fifty million potential citizens is certainly having a current financial cost for this nation, not to mention the moral hazard in legalizing the murder of humans and thereby pushing the envelope on ideas such as euthanasia.

It also further encouraged promiscuity and the breakdown of the family. People realized "I can always get an abortion", and so they didn't take the precautions necessary to insure that they weren't confronted with an unwanted pregnancy. The Color of Law always implies legitimacy for the behavior, and in this case it encouraged bad self-destructive behavior.

Wars are won by using hundreds of strategies, and thousands of tactics.

World War II was won by numerous battles and millions of casualties. It could have been prevented in the first place by hammering Hitler when he invaded the Sudetenland, at far less cost in lives and misery.

You can say that the "Battle of the Bulge" was a great victory, and it was the culmination of efforts to defeat the Nazis, but how much better off would the world have been if we just said "NO!" right from the beginning?

And while I am at it, I will point out once more that the force which drove the Nazis was the force of Homosexuality. They were founded in a Homosexual club, and they had Homosexuals through and through their ranks, especially among the most horrific offenders.

This is an old force we are fighting. An old evil with newly possessed bodies.

Your answer to my message is pathetically inadequate. In that regard it is similar to your answer to the whole Gaystapo attack.

The German Jews didn't want to lose their businesses either, but by the time Kristallnacht occurred, they had figured out that this was a foregone conclusion.

I don't think you take the issue with the degree of seriousness it deserves.

I notice you don’t address the issue of those who don’t want to be martyrs, and that’s the large majority of people.

Your martyr ideas appeal to the few businessmen, and to those who want to stand on the sidelines and cheer them on, as you are doing.

Nobody wants to be a Martyr. Nobody wants to be the first to rush the camp guards. What happens when nobody wants to be a Martyr?

We get many more Martyrs in the long run.

You hold out some hope that this cup can be made to pass from us. I hope you are right, but I doubt that you are.

Again, when do you think they are going to stop?

This has been with us since the end of the Garden of Eden, and will continue. Evil has taken many forms, this is but the latest big one.

Martyrs will not end it, as with all evil we need to deal with it as bet we can.

You yourself are confronted with evil every day, do you martyr yourself daily? The fact you are posting here says you duck out.

You are obviously unaware of what I have done in the past. I don't want to go into too much detail because I value my anonymity. (such that it is)

I have been threatened, and I have been attacked with both legal action and with fire. (I won't get into the legal action, suffice it to say, I won.)

Had the winds been blowing hard, or the fire department arrived later, I might have lost my home and possibly my life and the lives of my family. What happened to me was a homosexual motivated hate crime. I had placed a sign along a busy road saying "Clinton Supports Homosexuals", and the first night they burned the sign. The next night they tried to burn us.

I became even more politically active, and before I was done, I was getting hate calls on my answering machine at all hours of the day and night.

I won't go into more details, but suffice it to say I've confronted evil more than most, and I've fought harder to damage it more than most. Was nearly arrested several times. I did some damage, and i'm proud of it.

Homosexuals are often very unhinged people. If you think they will leave you alone because you mollify them with a cake, you are only putting off the time when they return with fire, either legal or the real thing.

Ah, so you’ve confronted evil, but have you martyred yourself?

What is your counties position on homosexuals?

The way things are going, I think we'll all get a chance at that down the road a bit.

What is your counties position on homosexuals?

"County's Position on homosexuals"? What do you mean? Do you mean what is the Officials of my County's position on Homosexuals? I'm pretty sure they don't have an official position. Probably their private position is that they don't like them and think they are sick, but I wouldn't know for sure one way or the other.

Might be time to start a conservative ‘go fund me’ site...

Check it out. Unless your county is different than most, you are funding homosexuals wages, insurance, retirement.

I’d dare say your contribution to homosexual causes is much larger than any of these bakers who have martyred themselves already..

How about your voluntary contributions to your mortgage company, insurance company, grocery store?

For me, those are just evils we have to contribute to so that we can live a normal live.

But then, I’m not insisting others become public martyrs, while I ‘value my anonymity’.

Funny how easy it is to confound you.

Just as a few drops of bleach in a gallon of water can suddenly stop the bacteria cold, a few words of truth can stop the endless prater.

You are the rooster taking credit for the sunrise. I have not responded till now because I have been very busy doing real world work. (From time to time, I build electronic control systems for people.) Now that I have a break, I can get back to these largely pointless discussions.

Perhaps we should start a campaign on one or more of these sites:
