Alan Colmes: Imprisonment or a Fine Appropriate for Christian Small Business Owner...

...who won't bake gay wedding cake

I was reading on a facebook page today: Soooo, would I be wrong to send a local KKK chapter a list of black businesses and tell them to demand that the business provide services for their next rally?

What a clever question… should the government be allowed to tell business what should and shouldn’t do even if it means doing something that the business considers unethical? Alan Colmes seems to think so and be imprisoned if they don’t obey government edict.

Ah, the tolerant left strikes again– Far left crank Alan Colmes argued today that imprisonment or a fine is appropriate for a business that won’t serve gays.

Tucker Carlson: We can disagree on something without you calling the cops and getting you sent to prison because you disagree with me. Every gay person I know I think would agree with that… It’s sick to imprison someone who won’t bake a cake a gay wedding.

“So straight couples can sue to use gay bathhouses?”

No sane straight couple would try that. EeeeeuuuuuuuuU!

I like the suggestion I saw somewhere that somebody should go into a bakery in SF and order a cake for their friends at the Westboro Baptist Church, with “GOD HATES FAGS!” for icing.

DO NOT EAT IT!

I would definately send it to lab to test for anomolous substances after picking it up, if any are found, SUE THEM for product tampering!

“... why don’t they open up their OWN gay-friendly businesses?”

Because they are purposely shopping for businesses that don’t want to service their weddings so that they can shut them down.

Once a Neo-Fuedalist Control Freak Statist, ALWAYS a Neo-Fuedalist Control Freak Statist.

The Cake Maker is an Artist, they are making a custom product or service that utilizes their artisic craft, Doesn’t the Cake maker as an artist have4 an artistic right ot refuse a project they either feel wouldn’t do a good job or goes against their personal belifs as an artist?

Colmes give far-left cranks a bad name. I keep wishing Monica would neuter him with a pair of dull scissors on the O’Reilly Factor.

The argument that we can’t allow businesses to discriminate on characteristics like skin color, but we can allow them to discriminate based on religion, is a very weak one that I think we’ll lose. Religion is based on personal choice. It isn’t an immutable characteristic like race. Saying that religion is constitutionally protected isn’t a very strong argument either. The left now claims gay marriage is a constitutional right, and they seem to have at least the lower courts on their side.

Colmes and Valerie Jarrett look like they come from the same lizard family.

Found a flaw in your plan... What if they use Turkey Bacon?

“why don’t they open up their OWN gay-friendly businesses?”

And they wouldn’t have to serve people they thought were straight. Good idea!

Given our right to freely associate, who now can a store turn away?

> “Here’s an idea, since the LGBT(FUBAR) community prides itself on being well educated and tend to be of much more than modest means, why don’t they open up their OWN gay-friendly businesses?”

Because the agenda is to destroy the Church or make it disappear.

What about Artistic Expression, the producer of custom made contracted artwork should definetly have the right to refuse ANY contract request based on their own Artisitic Expression which is certainly influenced by ANY of their own personal beliefs.

Oh you wouldn’t get the cake, you’d get a lot of, what is the phrase, “hate speech” about why it’s all about choice for them but hate by those evil Christians.
