We have been under an authoritarian government ever since Trump

took the oath.

You would make me laugh if you weren't so deluded.


There you go again, obeying your idol, Josef Goebbels; in this case you are accusing President Trump of exactly what B. Hussein Obama was guilty of.

Wow this was nowhere about Trump yet this troll with his gross hatred and ignorance made it so. No it's more about how foolish you seem right now.

He (Phillips) didn't have billions of dollars they did. That simple.

The 14th Amendment guarantees all citizens equal protection under the law, but has no bearing whatsoever on the rights or lack thereof of a private businessman or a private consumer. It has no application in the Masterpiece Bakery incident.

If it did apply, it would do more to protect Phillips from being prosecuted by the state for following his religious convictions.

I understand that you folks who list to port have little or no use for religious beliefs because you don't want belief in G-d to come between a citizen and the omnipotence of the government, but I'm sorry to have to inform you that even after eight years of an Obama presidency, we are still the United States of America, not the late, unlamented Soviet Union, and the First Amendment applies more to the Masterpiece Bakery incident, meaning in Phillips' favor, than the 14th which, as I pointed out, has no relevance in that situation whatsoever.

Seth, you can try every argument there is. It comes down to they had billions, Phillips didn't. Case closed.

This religious clause is BS simply put, it opens the pandora's box to allow people to defy that right any time they choose for any reason they choose. It is clearly undermining our constitution, and the only reason you're all for it is that you are just as prejudice. It makes me feel that Christians should not be served under the atheist's right against religion... that work for ya?

Would you feel the same if...a skin head neo-nazi walked into a bakery and ordered a cake celebrating lynching? Would the baker still be legally responsible for provide such a cake?
I say no, how about you?

Lynching is illegal, regardless of the religious views of the proprietor of the bakery. In any case, if the baker made lynching cakes for white people they would be obligated to make them for everyone, people of color, Muslims, Neo-Nazis. That is what is at issue under public accommodation laws.

What Masterpiece cake could have done is hire someone else to bake and decorate the cake, thereby absolving himself of participation. He even could have donated the proceeds of that cake to a charity.

In the Two Way Street Department:

What the gay guy could have done was respect Phillips' religious beliefs and gone to one of the many other bakeries in his town instead of trying to destroy the baker's livelihood.

Actually, the problem was he wouldn't create a custom cake for the wedding. He did offer to sell them one of the generic cakes, which they could have modified on their own. He didn't tell them he refused to sell them a cake, he just said he wouldn't do a custom cake.
