Actually, the great moral hazard is selective exclusion. They have normalized homosexual behavior, but selectively exclude other dysfunctional behaviors. With the normalization of abortion/murder, there are few behaviors which can be legitimately denied. The Democrats are confirming their legacy and demonstrating a principled support for creating moral hazards.

The Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission has ordered a suburban Denver baker named Jack Phillips to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples

Mr. Phillips should say “Bite me” and ignore them. As far as civil lawsuits go, he should do what Sharpton did: simply ignore any judgment against him and not pay. And them the usual suspects can piss and moan and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe. (thanks to Liar, Liar for that line).

Could this happen?

Now some folks are going to say . . . that . . . other folks don’t deserve help, don’t deserve access to affordable health care, don’t deserve their god given right to birth control, don’t deserve heat or warmth or even food.

But these same folks already have it all …and…that just isn’t fair. This isn’t the America of our hope, or the America I’ve tried to make happen.

Now, I know many of you are frustrated. You can’t find a job that lifts you out of poverty. I’ll make sure your frustrations are heard, and because you have spoken, I will act. So, I am sending Congress home. All further laws will be passed by me on your behalf. I am suspending the division in our government by the executive authority granted by our Constitution. My emergency directive act will authorize my staff, the Department of Justice, and certain valuable organization such as Organizing for America and Planned Parenthood, to act as my direct agents for change, until you cease to be victimized by those who wish to prevent the fundamental transformation of the United States.

US Civil War II is not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is that there is no conflict, merely some rioting, and all change is accepted. And then Islamic Jihad gets nukes from Europe and uses it on us.

I think Mark in Portland needs to rethink his solution. Is the answer truly for the Baker to compromise his product and risk the fall out? Gotta be a better answer than that.

This is nonsense is heading down a path to confrontation. It will be interesting to see how long it takes; and what form it takes. But, it is inevitable. The American people cannot tolerate this indefinitely.

Geoffrey Britain: “In any socialistic system, eventually ALL thought, speech and behavior is declared to be either forbidden or mandatory…”

Yep, they’ve turned rational thinking into a hate crime!

Don Carlos,
That’s why you have tort lawyers and class action suits. It’s lotto for lawyers. The lawyer has to put in some time and effort, but if he wins, he stands to make millions. What the state of Colorado is doing is defacto illegal. The state can’t force you to bake a cake for someone because they are homosexual.

Ray:
The cost of fighting the State via litigation is a de facto tax. That’s why Wall St. settlements total multi-billion dollars without any admission of guilt; the costs and risks of litigation are even higher (Extortion by the State and its agent, E. Holder).
We do know the only two sure things are Death and Taxes, don’t we? The State will win, bankrupting the plaintiff in the process.

If I knew of a bakery that refused to serve Jewish customers, I wouldn’t sue. I’d like to know where the Judenhauss is so I can avoid it. Palm Springs became the town it is today because the Jewish movie stars couldn’t get admitted to the existing Beverly Hills Country Clubs. So they bought up a bunch of land in the desert and created their own resorts.

But that is all logic and reason and the left has no interest in either concept. The Colorado Commission has nothing to do with liberty and everything to do with fascism.

Jim Crow was not individual businesses refusing to serve blacks. Jim Crow was the law of the land, both in individual states and in some aspects of the Federal Government. The state forcing businesses to work with certain customers is the same wrong that the state forbidding businesses to work with certain customers.

by the way…

you guys are missing the reality of this by a wide margin

ie. everythign done has to reflect the goals of the whole, not the tiny part your paying attention to.

ie. the sujbect is what the hammer hits, not that there is a hammer and its being swung around

what its hitting is luxury
and bourgegie luxurues

so you cant havse horses in central park, as homeless people cant ride them

you cant have custom cakes, as only the priveleged can afford them…

you cant have pet dogs or cats as that is an expense that only a wealthy person with cash to sare can afford.

its all the points of communism
but since you dont know the pointst of communism
you cant figure out the logic behind it

ie. like wathing a game without knowing the rules or the langauge and trying to guess how its played, and mixing it up with three other games.

oh. and out of that passing analysis you hope to grasp enough to say advisory things that can set the stuff back on track, and yet, you still dont know the game, how its played, what the rules are, what are its goals, how the mecanisms work…

and your going to win!!!

at least i can assess that people in that position, done win
