Tim Cook is a typical liberal: A liar and an idiot, also known as a hypocrite.

He claims he won’t do business in States that have such laws, yet, he does business with entire nations that kill homosexuals.

Finally, someone defends Indiana.

And it isn’t a Christian organization...but a libertarian think tank.

Kudos to CATO. I don’t always agree with them, but good for them.

CEO’s used to worry about their companies. Now? They seem to be preoccupied with everything except their company. And the company’s board or stockholders doesn’t seem to care.

With Apples agreement to expand marketing and retail to Saudi Arabia I say Tim Cook and Apple support the punishment of Gay men with death and sometimes 450 lashes.

For Apple groupies on FR please produce ONE official statement from Apple that condemns Saudi Arabia for the governmental targeting of homosexuals.

If Cook had piped up about a California law, where he resides it would be a little different. What a fag.

Excellent essay.

But would he also end all anti-discrimination laws?

1%er bully!

This isn’t the first time the Apple CEO has waded into the highly partisan and divisive area of gay politics.

Isn’t anyone in the company asking if it makes sense? He’s putting Apple’s name, their $billions of sales, their tens of thousands of employees, their $hundreds of billions of (mostly offshore) cash on this very explosive issue. Isn’t it extremely risky?

Why does Apple hate Christians?

Just to be clear, I’m as offended as Cook is by that kind of discrimination.

Why put those weasel words in there? I am not offended at all. If I walk into a business and they say they do not want to do business with my kind (suit and tie/Christian) then I say good bye, and find another business. My wife walked into a Wiccan business once and they did everything but set the dogs on us to get her out of there. Freedom of Association works both ways, as do laws forcing people to serve others.

Just to be clear, I’m as offended as Cook is by that kind of discrimination.

Does anyone know whether he is "being clear" about the right to decline or the compulsion to accept? This throw-away line is very confusing.

Bakeries aren’t refusing to bake cakes for homosexuals. Undoubtely, thousands of Christian bakers have baked many kinds of cakes and pastries for people they knew were homosexuals. It’s the type of cake that’s the issue. Businesses should be allowed to set standards as they see fit.

[Mike Darancette]

I doubt that Cook can grasp the idea “individual” freedom.

Tim Cook= malefactor of great wealth.
