Even the current focus on Christians is a cover issue. The goal is to suppress any and all dissent, criminalizing it wherever possible, as a means to exercise power and establish control.

The Christians are just the next nail that gets to be hammered down.

I don’t understand this. Why not just take the order, make the shirts and make money?

As an importer, if I go into a Wine shop to sell the account and the Manager has a Gay Pride poster in his office, I am no more endorsing or agreeing with his views if I sell him wine than if he had an NRA poster in his office.

Sometimes I’m left scratching my head with a big fat “who cares?”

[TangledUpInBlue]

Furthermore...

I don’t see how selling him wine undermines my views, or my right to have the views I do.

Still can’t understand why sexual deviance has somehow become a “civil right”

When you think of the vast list of sexual deviancy and which ones have been moved into the OK column you can see where we are heading.

Adultery

Teen sex

Homosexuality

Public sex

gay marriage

gay adoption of kids

Porn's downward spiral

beastiality in some countries

prostitution

gay prostitution

child prostitution

There is almost no end to this downward spiral.

If anybody can make any business make or print whatever design they want, then nobody really has any freedom. It would be no different than forcing a Jewish-owned printing house to print “The Protocols Of The Elders of Zion” or “Mein Kampf.”

No so-called coming out for skin color.

"Can we get them to declare that cakes, wedding photos, etc. are also speech?"

Of course they're "speech." They are means of expression. Like floral arrangements, reception hall decorations, and other "custom" goods and services.

They're a difference between selling a gay individual a box of Betty Crocker cake mix, and selling a gay couple a wedding cake. And that difference is, "expression."

Here’s my honest statement, DO NOT EVER OFFER a fully customizable service in today’s world, offer a set menu of options for your given service in question, and FWIW, this is about a whole lot more than concerns about being asked to validate homosexuality as okay.

That’s no Devil whispering in your ear. It is Obama and Holder in one voice of evil.

Because the media has made that kind of thing “cool”. Being a decent family guy (or gal) is sooo 80s.

[Rodamala]

...makes opposition to the commission sound like troglodytes who beat up homosexuals in back alleys.

We troglodytes want to bring back gay-bashing... maybe some dwarf-tossing? What else? Jean jackets, big hair, high top sneakers with fat laces... uh... hair metal?

Our paper’s favorite columnist bar none is Eugene Robinson. A 3 day a week paper & he’s in 1-2 times every week.

He is a perfect reflection of the official editorial philosophy of the paper. If it weren’t for the fact I want all the local news and activities I wouldn’t get it.
