Sweet Cakes by Melissa, who refused for months to pay the penalty levied against them by Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian because they could not bake a wedding cake for lesbian couple, Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer, finally paid, $136,927.07.
One has to say it, maybe this payment will just make the cry babies stop crying. It is literally “shush money”.
Truth and Action reported, “The gay couple who refused to take their wedding cake order elsewhere, filed suit against the Kleins, when their religious convictions about gay marriage hurt the feelings of Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer.”
It is pretty certain that the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa have hurt feelings too, as their life savings, their love of baking and their good name have been sullied by whiners who were unwilling to compromise and shop somewhere else.
Bullies hurt feelings and the bullies in this case are not the Kliens, but Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer. Follow up on the development on the next page.
not fair just dc’s double standard , we are seeing a lot of it
So wrong
Liberals Vs Conservatives:
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.
The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.
He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”
She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”
Her father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That’s a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I’ve worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.”
If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him..
If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he’s “offended.”
This is so wrong.
That’s wrong
That’s ridiculous!
Perhaps, I see things in another perspective here. Christians have no right to judge or condemn anyone. Constantly, there are situations sent our way for no other reason than to see how we will react. For among you are angels unaware. As a Christian, if I were a hungry gay person, would you refuse to feed me because you do not believe in the way I live my life? If I were homeless, gay and shivering in the cold,would you refuse to give me a coat you weren’t using because the Bible causes you to believe I am a sinner? If you were to asking everyone in the world … “Do you want peace all over the world?”, surely the answer would be yes. Where we run into problems is that everyone wants peace on their own terms. So we hate and despise others when they only have one difference than us. Their color, their religion, where they were born, who they choose to be intimate with. We need to start dropping the little mess. Time is short. There are bigger issues to address. The same kindness and mercy we show to others is the same, in greater measure, that will be shown to us. Will you survive your own judgement?
Hope that couple gets the Karma they deserve and rot in hell
Wtf??
When will the people understand that they are the bad guys and they want to get rid of us all ?
