The party of less government is falling all over themselves passing more laws and making government more intrusive. Can't explain that. Here in Denton TX we passed a law banning fracking within the city limits. The Republicans in the state house's response? Make a law overriding the ability of local communities to pass laws concerning the oil and gas industry within their own borders. Freedom hating faggots.

They want the world to exist on their terms. Often that means less government, sometimes more. They only decry judicial activism when it produces a result they're at odds with. When an activist decision pleases them, it's a "victory for freedom and the Constitution". They support local solutions to problems only when they're defining those solutions. They're all for top down solutions when they're pulling the strings at that level. All of those conservative principles we've been hearing for last 50 years are just memes at this point.

Bloomington, IN has a sign somewhere that says "Official Gay Capital of America". Maybe less so now. This shit will get shut down somehow soon enough. They already dismissed the gay marriage ban a few months ago.

When you are running a business open to the public, a business supported by public infrastructure, your "rights" end right when you decide to toss some faggot out of your store because jesus told you to. If you do so, you should be open to litigation. But passing laws specifically protecting certain "classes" of people is fucking dumb. We have laws that are more or less blanket. If not, they should be made so. No need for more bullshit laws that can bog down courts even further because someone yelled "faggot" in their kitchen and some blue hair got offended.
Everythingis supported by public infrastructure.

That home you own, you didn't build that. It's connected to public electrical, gas, sewer, cable lines. It is served by public roads and public garbage collection. Fuck - you breathe public air? You have no rights to privacy inside that public house.

Well what if you were in the business of selling leather chaps? Wouldn't restricting their access somewhat cause them to be a little less gay?

Reminds me of an article I read yesterday about a guy who mouthed off to a Chik Fil-A employee when they had a sit in or whatever. He waited in line for hours to get his turn to get free water to protest the CEO talking about gays. He got up there and recorded it and posted it on youtube and talked about how he didn't know the woman who worked there lived with herself.

Well he got fired and the company said they didn't want him to represent their company, he was CFO and making $200k a year. He lost his $1 million stock options. Fast forward two years and he lost another job after they found out he was posting these vidoes. He lost his house, sold all his stuff, and now him and his wife with 4 kids now live in a RV and is on food stamps.

The thing about your analogy is under these religious "freedom" laws like the new one in Indiana, the gay baker isn't given the protection to refuse to bake the cake for the Westboro wedding just because they're gay and the Westboro Baptists hate teh queers. Gay isn't a religion. The same goes for atheism. .
1. Atheism is a religion.

2. No it's all the same fucking thing: this is just the start of what one hopes is a whole slew of bills restoring our First Amendment rights of (dis)Association that liberal fuckswads want to trample on because they get hardons at the thought of controlling other people and making them do things they don't want to do.

Anyone should be able to tell anyone to fuck off for any reason. 'Merica.

You pay taxes for all those things. Tell me more about how it's all yours.

Wait this is spur'd on by these dumbfucks?
Indianapolis' 111 Cakery Turns Away Gay Couple Seeking Commitment Ceremony Cake

"As artists, we have to find inspiration to create something special for our clients," Randy McGath

i don't know about you guys, most artists i know are pretty gay, i mean you gotta be pretty gay if you're a guy making cupcakes, at least effeminate. Seriously i've watched a lot of baking shows, and watching these fat guys bake(cuz all guys who bake are fat) they're either flamboyantly gay or fighting the gay away.

anyway they got shit on bad by yelp idiots.
111 Cakery - CLOSED - Bakeries - Indianapolis, IN - Yelp

here are the yelp "censored" reviews
http://www.yelp.com/not_recommended_...y-indianapolis
you'll see a lot of these reviews are from idiots who only have 1 review (this one) and from like fucking florida or CA, most of them made 3-14-14, so obviously dumb mad yelpers shitting on them (this is when this article came outSame-sex couple denied cake by bakery, owners speak out | Fox 59)

scroll all the way down
and you'll see all the ones that are just removed, probably other gays going "YOU DUMB FUCKS, GAY FOR LIFE" or whatever counts as being pro gay and stupid on yelp

also if you're bored here's an outdated streetview (latest is june2014)-scroll back you can see they started around 2012, being built
Google Maps

ok that's enough sherlocking

they got down voted on FB that time too
https://www.facebook.com/pages/111-C...86522244746286
they have zero activity feb 21 to june 13, probably facing too many "go eat a dick" comments.

also seemed like a fine gay place just by location, no wonder a gay cake was ordered there, but only one in all this time?

"The bakery was at the intersection of 16th and Talbott streets, a hub of gay culture for decades. At least three long-established gay bars are just blocks away."

No, its not.

Would you like to go round and round about this for hours, or would you like to admit now you're wrong?
You were on holiday for the whole missing airplane weren't you? Or is that one of them fancy northerner rhetorical questions.

Yeah, Tad is convinced that Iran stole MH370 and flew it to Iran to get ahold of some mangosteens. He was so convinced of this that he has a ban bet with me over it.

So I don't think debating him on the definition of what a religion is will get you anyhere.
