    Cool Leftists are laughable






    In 2012, a group of angry leftists hauled a cake decorator to court after he declined to design a cake celebrating a same-sex wedding because it violated his deeply-held religious beliefs about the sanctity of marriage. It bears noting that Jack Phillips, who had been decorating cakes for the Colorado community for about 20 years, didn’t deny service to the gay couple.

    He happily offered to serve them for other occasions or to provide them already made cake from his store — but that was unacceptable.

    Jack endured threatening phone calls, harassment, loss of business, and a Supreme Court case before emerging victorious — but not for long. Not even a month later, Jack became the target of another lawsuit when he declined to design a cake celebrating a "transgender" person’s "identity".

    While that case was ultimately dropped, Jack is now ensnared in another legal fight. More than seven years and three legal battles later, Jack’s story clearly illustrates the rampant hypocrisy of the left, who know perfectly well that private enterprises can legally deny service to anyone - unless that "anyone" happens to be demanding something the left loves.

    More examples abound.

    The owner of Arlene’s Flowers, was targeted for declining to provide flowers for the "wedding" of a homosexual couple, despite having served the same patrons in other capacities for nine years.

    Two artists and owners of a stationery store faced a similar fate.

    When a group of Catholic nuns declined to provide contraceptives, in accordance with their constitutionally-protected beliefs, they too were dragged to court. The same happened to Hobby Lobby.

    Where was the left's new-found regard for the rights to deny service in these cases?

    I don't recall any leftists trying to force Muslim-owned businesses to do anything abhorrent to Islam.

    Do you?

    In Masterpiece Cakeshop, the leftists' lawyers argued to the Supreme Court that cake artist Jack Phillips should be denied his First Amendment right to decline to promote messages with which he disagrees.

    Amazon. Twitter and Apple invoked this same rights when they claimed litigants were forcing them to promote unwanted messages.

    Only an idiot would claim this right for themselves and advocate that it be taken away from everyone else.

    I believe most democrats believe a baker or an artist being told what to draw or design, if it conflicts with his personal beliefs, is not protected by any laws or rules. who said it was? what people were talking about, with good reason, were assholes who REFUSED TO SERVE MUSLIMS OR BLACKS OR GAYS OR WOMEN OR LATINOS BASED EXCLUSIVELY ON THEIR RACE, GENDER, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OR SEXUAL PREFERENCES, IN STATES THAT HAVE THAT PROVISION...

    duh.

    yes. how can it be legal to force someone to design something he finds offensive? or you crazy? if they asked him to design a cake that showed Tucker Carlson doing Hannity doggy style on a wedding cake and he refused, do you think anyone would try to arrest him? are you nuts?

    Kinda like in the Reagon Era when the right vehemently against the Fairness Doctrine claiming the Government had no right to tell any private entity what they could or couldn't put out over the airways, as Limbaugh said, the end of the Fairness Doctrine made his career

    "I don't recall any leftists trying to force Muslim-owned businesses to do anything abhorrent to Islam."

    I don't recall them selling pork products either.

    Nope, nothing like that, Anchovies.

    Either a business has a right to refuse service, or it doesn't.

    I guess you disagreed with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and the Colorado Court of Appeals, then?

    I don't recall stating otherwise, Anchovies.

    Are you experiencing any signs of a stroke?
