Bullshit.I'm a lefty so thanks for...
The constitution also granted us the flexibilty to govern to best serve the general welfare of the people. The government is built on the constitution but it is so much more than that.True, but Gator said that he doesn’t believe in anti-discrimination laws. That goes beyond public accommodation. Either way I am curious about what he thinksDo you think the civil rights act was a bad thing for this country?
Federal public accommodation laws were only a small part of the overall Civil Rights Act of 1964.
A more well defined question would be "Do you think the public accommodation provisions of the civil rights act was a bad thing for this country?"
Hope this helps.

I do not think the Constitution gives the government the right to tell a person whom they must serve in their private business or what they must serve. I understand why we had them when we did, but that still does not make the constitution, in my opinion. Good or bad does not play into if something is constitutional or not.
Right now there are roughly a half a dozen "protected" classes that you cannot discriminate against, anyone else you are free to do so. So, what the government is doing by making protected classes is giving some people more protection under the law than others, which is clearly against the constitution.

Naah. I really

And it wouldn't matter.
Muslims should also make the fucking cake.
Religion no matter the god is just bs reason to discriminate.
Which is an abrogation of the freedom of religion enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Why do you want to trample on peoples Rights?
And when the Muslim cabbies refuse to pick up the blind person with the guide dog?
Are we trampling on the cabbie's rights by requiring that they transport handicapped customers regardless of what their religion says?
Let me know where it says that in the Koran. That's the problem with your hyperbole, it is pure unadulterated BS.

I already pointed out that the Muslim community has demonstrated that they are ahead of the curve in comparison to the Christian bakeries.
Their own imams instructed the outliers that they now live in a society which respects all religious values including values which aren't even religious at all, and that they must abide by accommodating different people.
It's too bad that my post scares the living shit out you folks on the right, which is why NONE of you can even work up the nuts to READ it much less comment on what I posted.
I even posted it in another thread similar to this one, same thing, no one on the Right has had the intestinal fortitude to even acknowledge what I posted>
You people are allergic to facts, and worse yet, you think BELIEF actually supercedes fact, which indicates that you do not know the difference belief and fact.
I'm a lefty so thanks for missing that. And yes, fortunately there are some bakeries who do indeed cater to the LGBT community. However, just like it is not all christian bakers, it is likewise not all muslim bakers who decide to not provide service. The simple way to deal with that is simply to not buy from them. There are enough bakeries out there that it won't be a problem to find one. The people suing the bakers are political activists who wish to impose their belief system on others. That is as clear a violation of the COTUS as I can imagine.
The COTUS doesn't care what your opinion is. The COTUS merely states that NO ONE shall be compelled to violate their religious beliefs. I hate to break it to ya, but that is the reality.
Wow. You just drew a moral equivalency between an appendectomy and killing a child in the womb!]The decision to have a baby is the most personal, private matter a woman ever faces. It’s not a decision which is taken lightly or casually, nor should it be. And it’s not a decision which is anyone’s business but that of the woman who will be living with the consequences of that decision for the rest of her life.
And her baby that may only have a few weeks to live if she decides it is not convenient to have it right now
Babies aren’t generally aborted simply for “convenience”. They’re aborted because of money. 80% of women who have abortions are living below or just slightly above the poverty line. More than half of them are married or in a committed relationship, and most already have one or more children.
Republicans oppose every measure that would enable poor women to continue their pregnancies: higher minimum wages, mandated maternity leaves, job protections for pregnant women, access to health care, and access to licensed, subsidized Day care.
In Canada we have all of these things and one other thing - free abortions. Despite the free abortions, our rate of abortion is half what yours is. Coincidence? I think not.
So when you’re ready to talk about what you’re prepared to do to encourage poor women to have those babies, let me know.
Yeah I really hate the abortion debate- because it is really a religious debate- and no one ever 'wins' an argument about religion.
I think all of us would be happy for there to be less abortions. Despite the rhetoric of the 'pro-life' movement- I don't know of anyone who is 'pro-abortion' any more than I know anyone is 'pro-appendectomy'. I am for choice for women to have the choice for abortion just as I am for women having the choice to have an appendectomy.
Wow. You just objected to the moral equivalency between a legal appendectomy and a legal abortion that doesn't kill any child.
Like i said I hate the abortion debate- its just another religious debate- so I leave it to you- not the subject of this thread and I generally don't engage you fanatics.
It is DISCRIMINATION to FORCE a cake maker to make a cake that collides with their religious beliefs.
Nobody is advocating JEWISH BAKERIES make cakes honoring HITLER.
WHY do HOMOS get to SHOVE their agenda down everyone else's throats???
Or in this case- a Conservative man pretending to be gay in order to shove his agenda down everyone's throat.
What's funny is religious people shove their shit down everyones throat all the time and they're expected to be protected by the law. Why not gays and everyone else? Oh'yess, because religion needs to control or else.

You mean like you shoving your sh*t down our throats? No wonder no one pays attention. How many people have you ''changed'' with your hate filled posts? 0? That would be the correct answer.
Can you be nice ever? Can you try to purge yourself of the hatred? You are going to explode one day.

Odd that you respond to that post with a complaint about not being nice.
Did you see the OP?
Or any of the hate filled posts attacking 'HOMOS"?
Certainly the hate filled posts don't change any minds. But don't pretend this is one sided.

Since you are a self proclaimed 'lefty'- lets not forget that this whole thread is built on the fake news claims of a right wing liar. Did you watch the 'video'? Its pretty obvious to anyone who cares that he carefully cut and edited scenes to make it appear that they were refusing to sell him a cake for a gay wedding- but none of them actually do that. One guy says 'no'- but his english is not very good and the video is so heavily cut and edited there is no way to tell if he is saying no he won't bake a wedding cake or no- he doesn't bake wedding cakes. I posted a great article by an author who lives in Detroit who knows the bakeries and points out that one of the bakeries make pita bread- they don't even make cakes. The video is a fraud- intended to attack both gays and muslims.
"the people suing the bakers'? Who are these people? The cases I know of are gay couples who filed complaints with the government entities that enforce public accommodation laws- and the bakers were fined for breaking the laws. Are they 'political activists' because they filed a complaint? Using the very same law that would protect the Christian bakers if some Muslim refused to do business with them?
Now maybe you believe that Public Accommodation laws violate the Constitution. Or maybe you think that the religious beliefs of a business owner means that they can choose to refuse to do business with a Jew- or blacks- or Muslims- or gays.
Well the case before the Supreme Court will decide that. Just remember- if the court says that a Christian can refuse to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple- Christians can then decide not to sell to Jews or Muslims- based upon whatever closely held religious beliefs they decide are dear to them.

So an individual has the right to force a person to ignore their religious beliefs.And it wouldn't matter.
Muslims should also make the fucking cake.
Religion no matter the god is just bs reason to discriminate.
For me none of these debates has anything to do with religion. No one has the right to force someone to ignore their religious beliefs. Abortion is a person who doesn't want to take responsibility for their personal decisions, not to mention murdering an innocentWow.

Ever wonder what would happen if someone asked a Muslim bakery to make a gay wedding cake? Wonder no more.
And it wouldn't matter.
Muslims should also make the fucking cake.
Religion no matter the god is just bs reason to discriminate.
Anyone should be allowed to choose who they serve and what they serve. Anti-discrimination laws are unconstitutional as they give one group more protection than another

lol, so you can refuse blacks and disabled people? Please show me where in the constitutions it is unconstitutional. idiot.
Equal protections in the 14th amendment.
Jesus said, "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
Gee, I have never heard of a Christian baker turning away someone getting married for the second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth time.
Ever.
The "Christian" bakers are endorsing adultery. Every day.
These hypocrites are fake Christians.
