I’m at the point where I think that type of action has to be considered.
It’s the only way to drive a sane point home with the left...force them to swallow their own statist pill.
Of course this same unelected commission might find that such an action did the gay business ‘substantial harm’ and award them some type of judgement also.
That is the problem with unelected commissions...they tend to be stacked.

I’d go to jail before I’d bake the cake.
Or, more likely, I’d probably die in a shootout, when the authorities came to take me.
America-2014 for you. Fascist and morally depraved. What a hell of a sewer this country has become.

You are at least thinking on the right track.
What the hell happened to the American spirit of defiance???
Disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God.
REFUSE!
DEFY!
RESIST!
DO NOT COMPLY!
Then, when they come to force themselves and their will upon you and punish you for refusing to submit - you will know what time it is.
THAT is the answer to this entire fascist country we now live in and tolerate.

one thing puzzles me about this.
who in their right mind would buy a cake from a guy who was being forced to bake it for you against his wishes?
i mean really. you want to eat that cake?
i don’t think so......
so how can this even work.

Here's another example.
A state animal protection law was passed. It included livestock.
There was a terrible spring season on a part of the Range. Temperatures were way below zero, and the ice sprayed and piled high. A rancher and his wife (over 80 years of age) lost some cattle to that weather. They are some of the best and most conscientious ranchers good neighbors alive in the West. Their cattle were usually some of the best, and it showed. They looked more healthy than all of the other cattle on nearby, more government-connected ranches.
Local socialists around the County were pushing for tax hikes, more government regulations, etc. One obstacle to their designs was that of a much lower tax on leased land (a development with nearly no population--mostly large, vacant lots by far) being used agriculturally. Some entity also wanted to stop some other grazing leases/agreements on government lands.
The Sheriff's Office for the County and State governments swooped in (many of the participants Republican but typically Colorado socialist) and confiscated all of their cattle and modest wealth (millions earned and saved over many years). Many more false allegations were fabricated about the innocent couple (married over 50 years and objects of spite also because of that). Since then, the rancher's wife had a heart attack, and the rancher, also a heart attack followed by triple bypass surgery.
State and local socialists are no less despicable than federal socialists regardless of their Party affiliation, and tourist areas, no more excusable.

Yep, cardinal rule of dining out - don’t piss off the people that handle your food out of your sight. They might be like Jesse Jackson and spit in it.

I would neither bake the cake nor go to jail.
This is my country and I am free and I am willing to fight as hard as better Men than me have done before.

Now will they force the bearded savages to do the same thing?
Obviously, no, since the left doesn’t want to stamp out the violent middle eastern death cult. It does want to eliminate Christianity.

Can't do that, but you can use liberal amounts of pepper. One time one of my daughters got upset with my wife about something. Daughter baked some food with lots of paprika and pepper in it. And didn't tell Mom before eating the meal. They did make up afterwards, but my wife did a lot of gagging over that meal.

He should also have little plastic dildos sticking out of the sides of the cake.Are you kidding?! If he did that, he probably would triple his gay clientele.

I would bake an ex-lax fudge cake nut instead of sugar ‘accidently’ put salt in it, see if they have any allergies then add it. If I someone who don’t want my business, I wouldn’t sue. I’ll find another business.

“Since when does an appointed and unelected commission have binding enforcement powers?
This sounds like BS to me.”
It does if the legislature gives it those powers. In this case it would be the Colorado state legislature. The baker is free to petition the legislature to reign in the commission if he believes their powers are excessive.
Consider the EPA. All of its powers were delegated to it by Congress which can remove them at any time.

Id go to jail before Id bake the cake. Mr. Phillips apparently feels as you (and I) do. He's stated that he isn't going to comply...

Excellent quote from the article-”Which would be misleadingbecause the idea that people should be left alone to live their lives as they see fit is quickly morphing into the ugly idea that we should all be forced to participate in your life.”
