. The bakers are not free to practice their religion if their refusal to serve a customer for religious reasons will cost them a fine they will probably never be able to afford. Your attempts to belittle religious freedom — indeed the very right of expression — reminds me of the laughable spectacle of hoards of left-wing bigots blockading the entrance to an auditorium that is hosting a Q&A with a right-wing, politically incorrect pundit. It sure is fine and dandy to violate someone’s constitutionally appointed rights when it is in the name of social justice (a concept created by the emotional cowardly and the intellectually inept to silence the tongues and pens of those who dare break the sacred rules of political correctness). I’m afraid your obvious hatred towards conservatism has resulted in prejudices and, dare I say, bigotry towards those who do not share your same big government ideology.
. I am tempted to point out another flaw in your logic: his very argument is for limited control, not additional. A government that can fine private businesses that refuse to, in this case, offer their service to a homosexual couple is government overreach in the truest sense of the term. Unfortunately, political correctness has metastasized to the point where even constitutional amendments are irrelevant. Thanks to her majesty the queen, namely, capitalism, the business would have suffered enough if their, let us face it, too conservative for their own good owners continued to refuse to serve customers whose life choices they did not believe in.
. In short, if a caterer refuses to cater your homosexual wedding, find another caterer. The free market will punish them enough without big brother stepping in to, once again, turn the constitution into a piece of scrap paper.
