After Masterpiece, It’s Time to Change the Constitution
NY Times ^ | June 4, 2018 | Jennifer Finney Boylan

The Supreme Court has ruled on the Masterpiece Cake case — and on the surface, it would appear to be a loss for L.G.B.T.Q. Americans. The justices ruled 7 to 2 that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission violated the religious freedom of a baker, Jack Phillips, when it sanctioned him for refusing to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, in 2012.

“The commission’s hostility was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee that our laws be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority.

I’d forgotten Orwell wrote Animal Farm, and, yes, it perfectly describes the left.

Don’t homosexuals have plenty of BDSM clubs? Sounds like they’re for making it de jure (somebody else used that term, or I wouldn’t have known it).

I believe groupthink is probably a term derived from clinical and/or empirical research and has come into general use that way.

‘Newspeak’ is definitely Orwell’s creation and is used often in conjunction with groupthink, of course.

.. refusing to make a wedding cake for a gay couple,

I thought it wasn't baking the cake, but refusing to write what the customers wanted written on the cake.

Liberals = Tolerance will not be tolerated.

Liberals are The Borg, without the charming personality.

I started to get upset at the headline, then I realized it was from the NY Times.

If we do not remember that it’s the “SECULAR” left we will find ourselves with an equally destructive overreaction.

In fact — it’s about sexualizing evil.

It sometimes is not an easy habit to kick even by those who sincerely wish to. It’s quite a mind infester.

That’s the big stinking fly in the perfume of communism and socialism. Who the blinkety blink administers the doggone thing? OF COURSE it’s an elite. Don’t kid us.

Secular lefties think that their cause is so obvious that it ought to carry the people — or else have some kind of fraud card up their sleeves even worse than we know about already.
