The Business that was sued

The people who filed the lawsuit likely shopped until they found a Christian and went after him.

Mr. Adamson’s problem is that he believes there’s any semblance of an attempt at being fair with this forced speech against conscience. Name anyone else who is being forced to do so, other than fundamentalist Christians. Are atheists being forced to print Christian messages? No. Are Muslims being forced to print gay messages? No. Who else is being forced? Nobody. And therein lies your answer.

He naively thinks this was about T-shirts. T-shirts (and cakes) are just the tool. The Goal is forced acceptance of an abhorrent lifestyle.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The so-called birthright citizenship clause:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

There are two tests here.  

Lets look at test one.

Here's how Leftists read it.


All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Does this grant citizenship to all persons born in the United States?

On the face of it no.  It doesn't even come close to saying that.

The inclusion of an additional stipulation in addition to simply being born on our soil, renders this a false premise.  All persons are not granted citizenship for having been born here, without being judged to be under the jurisdiction thereof.

For this reason, it is a false premise to state every person born in the United States is a citizen
.

Now lets look at test two.

...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...

Leftists love to claim that illegal aliens must abide by the laws of the United States (all except immigrating legally, I presume).  This they use as primafacia evidence that illegals aliens "...are subject to the jurisdiction thereof,...".

Is that true?  NO, and it's a very easy thing to test.

The very inclusion of this verbage in the amendment deligitimizes this claim.

If being on U.S. soil made illegal aliens "...subject of the jurisdiction thereof..." all by itself, this further stipulation would not have been provided.

If all illegal aliens were subject to the jurisdication thereof, the Citizenship claus would read, "
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Jurisdiction language would not be necessary, and it would not have been included.

The jurisdiction language had to be addressing something different than merely being present in the United States, when being born.

Conclusion:


The 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to illegal aliens born on U.S. soil.

Freedom of the press means I have the right to print (you know, on a press) what *I* want; not what someone else wants.

A tee-shirt printing operation is a printing press by definition. This guy should be able to print what *he* wants, for whatever reason.

We should do the same...find the gay shirt maker. Ask them to print something anti-gay. When they decline wammo...they are discriminating against your religious beliefs. It will help if you say you’re muslim because then that will fracture the liberal crusaders.

Good point. If he eventually loses. Take out anti-gay ads in the local paper...when they refuse to run it then sue them.

I had two workups in my editing program.

Before posting these, I went back and copied a post that was in HTML. It was the wrong one.

I caught it, but not until I’d posted it about ten times.

I contacted the Moderator and asked to have them all deleted.

Sorry. Folks reading this, I apologize.

It's more than that. It's all about forcing the denial of Christ. The lesbians are merely the useful idiot tools of the old adversary.

Anyone think he was deliberately targeted because he advertised he was Christian?

It's all about the tyranny of the few over the many. And it's about who gets to define "normal."

Church politicized. Our local Presbyterian church has done same sex officiating on their turf. Sad for the fathers and builders of that church.
