New Year’s resolutions: get outdoors more often, read more books, and stop hanging out with people who only bring up the Holocaust as a way to illustrate unrelated arguments and never to talk about the systematic murder of six million Jews.
This week the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune published an editorial, “Wedding Cakes And Conscience,” contending that a baker in Colorado being forced to design a wedding cake for a gay couple would constitute a violation of his freedom of expression. To illustrate the point, the Tribune encouraged readers to understand Colorado baker Jack Phillips’ predicament, saying, “imagine a Jewish baker being required to put a swastika on a cake.”

The newspaper rounded off the article about why the gay couple should stop “forcing a baker to swallow his objections” by pointing out that the cake situation is not the same as Black Americans being turned away from businesses during the Jim Crow area, since the issue there was just that a lot of the time Black people needed to use the bathroom, which is a “basic bodily function.” You know, that thing that happens after you eat a cake with a swastika on it.
Freedom of expression really is an amazing thing. In only one article, a newspaper managed to take anti-Semitism out of context to make a point about how gay people should be grateful and stop complaining, while saying that the Black civil rights movement was mostly propelled by the need to use the bathroom.
Is there a journalism award for insulting three minority groups at once? If so, nominate the Tribune.
Good illustration of the underlying point.
ouch.
While i would bake the cake for a gay wedding, or sell the flowers, i would not be the photographer.
U just drop off the other 2 things. The photographer actually has to stay and participate.
and no i do not support gay marriage.
At least, they’ve been posting positive articles about Trump lately.
I agree with everything you said except the last sentence. I don't trust the 9 tyrants in robes.
Unfortunately for them, I’ve read Israel will be 50% Orthodox by 2030. Read a headline that’s happening in America, too, but I doubt by 2030.
They print articles decrying the fact that homosexuals have to leave Israel to get married.
They ignore it. Even the Backward doesn’t dare rewrite the Torah.

The problem for the Jews (and everyone else) in the US is all the Muslims we’re importing,
The “tyrants” are the ones who ignore the Constitution and make it up as they go along.
Uh...
Mentally disabled man.
Nothing’s ever good enough for them, is it?
And yet Wisconsin found the ruling unconstitutional agreeeing that the hate crime law violated the black teens rights
How would you codify that into law?
You are wrong. The Muslims are just a symptom of the real problem.
Sixth grade literacy, limited intelligence, and no understanding of morality or ethics are on full display. This kind of dimwitted trash insults the publication’s already benighted readership.
What is the real problem, then?
I’m Catholic. If I went into a bakery to get a cake for a Confirmation (or something else) and the person said they believe Catholicism is a cult and they won’t bake a cake for a Catholic event, I would have no desire to force them to make a cake. And I wouldn’t support any other Catholic suing them. What would be the point?
How many Lefties would take the same position had the White separatist (or whomever they were, IDK exactly) organizers of the Charlottesville rally tried to order a bunch of cakes from a local bakeshop in order to keep their protesting Klansmen well-fed. Give me a break.
Muslims are just being used by leftists. When they are finished with them, the Muslims will be treated just like the Christians. Leftism is the religion that is a threat.
