Okay, I will. Here’s what I think, or here’s what I see.

I see a country in which there are two groups of people who the politically correct crowd, and the liberal crowd (but then I’m being redundant) have elevated or are elevating above the rest of us.

1. Muslims

2. Gays (and transgenders and whatever else they want to add
to that list).

Those are the groups we can’t offend. Those are the groups we can’t discriminate against. Those are the groups that if we do offend them, the government, be it federal or local, has to step in and PUNISH the MEANIES.

The fact that we’ve elevated those two groups almost by default puts Christians in the line of fire. That’s particularly the case when it comes to the gays.

We saw something like this played out, not with the EEOC but with a government body when a Christian, in Colorado I believe, requested a cake be made that was an “anti gay marriage” cake. When the bakery owner refused, he tried to file a religious discrimination complaint with the appropriate body in the state. They told him he didn’t have a case.

My point about the wedding planner was obviously purely hypothetical to begin with. If you missed that, I don’t know what to tell you.

But if you can’t see how Christians are losing their rights and how the groups mentioned are gaining more seemingly by the day, then again I don’t know what to tell you.

Even though she’s only one person on the EEOC, you do realize that one of the more recent appointments was Chai Feldblum as a commissioner on the EEOC, right? Chai Feldblum, who wrote the ENDA bill and who said that sexual liberties trump religious liberties.

So yeah, I don’t think I’d like a Christian’s chances.

So, don’t hire Muslims or Somalis. Avoid any chance of a lawsuit. That should make them happy.
