You broke the code. Well done.
>>Should an African-America baker have to bake a cake for a Klu Klux Klan celebration?
Interesting..when I have written about the libs trying to force the Fairness Doctrine into radio/TV etc I give this example:
“What if you’re black and own a radio station catering to blacks...and the Fairness Doctrine forces you to run programming put out by the KKK? Or you’re Jewish and the American Nazi Party demands you run their program?”
But if somebody wanted me to bake them a cake for a ceremony or occasion that violated my conscience, I should not have to bake that cake. I'm not religious, but there are certain things I wouldn't do. If I ran a construction business, and some Nazis wanted me to build them a Nazi clubhouse or some other type of building, I think I should be able to say no to them without the law forcing me to do so.
I see. Another genius who doesn't even know what the bill was about and clearly never came even close to reading the one page bill, but sees fit to spew BS about it anyway.
Thanks for your informed opinion. Try this on for size, einstein: If they ask you to do a cake for a homosexual wedding, they probably are "gay." Make sense?
Horse$h!t. The whole controversy boils down to protecting or curtailing freedom and liberty.
If mankind claims ANY behavior is beyond his control and falls under the heading of "born this way," he has no claim on liberty and must be controlled by the state.
These gay-rights bastards are willing to kill the tree of liberty just to keep people from looking at them funny.
"Good time for devout and out Christians to show up en masse to gay bars and other businesses and see what happens"
Yep. And if anything does happen, then start start suing away. Use the left's favorite tactic against them.
government has no right to force a private business owner to do anything , including who to deal with
if i own a business i don’t have to let in anyone i don’t want to . government can’t force me to . same for your other property like your house
LOL...wonder if this will take off.
We have no real leader! Each time we think we have one, they end up deserting us.
That’s absolute BS and a complete failure to understand the proposal as well as our Constitutional rights.
As an American, you and I have the right to provide services-as private business owners- to anyone we dang well please. It’s our prerogative. If you, as a customer, wish to hire me to provide a service which would violate my religious or spiritual beliefs, I have the right under the Constitution to refuse service.
The state and federal governments were designed to PROTECT our rights. Not infringe upon them.
Really?
What do you consider to be the "right thing?"
Thankfully someone understands the violation of this decision.
Hat tip to you.
Really?
Have you taken upon yourself to decide what violates other's beliefs?
Tell us more...
I think this is a reaction to all these “Human Rights” commissions and laws that really are only about pushing the Left’s agenda.
The best solution here is the Constitutional one. We all have the Freedom of Association and that includes discrimination. I suspect that a store banning certain groups would soon lose a lot of business. Dollars are green (except for the new Obama buck) and I think few business people would risk the offense and the loss of business.
Liberty is the best regulator of human relationships.
Good point and we need to not be selective on that standard. God isn’t.
The Right to Conscience, Freedom of Thought and Belief are fundamental human rights. The Constitutional answer is liberty. Everyone discriminates, why can’t business people?
I am grateful to see that there are people who actually understand the issue. It was a pleasure to read your posts.
(here's one I like!!)
