Jubilant over Trump’s Win, Let Us not Forget the Colorado Baker

You and I are more like the baker than like The Donald.

Rod Dreher:

Jack Phillips is the Colorado cake baker who is constantly hauled in and out of court by lawsuits, and by actions by state officials, against him for refusing to bake specialized cakes that offend his conscience.

In 2018, one of the Christian baker’s antagonists went after him like this:

"I'm thinking a three-tiered white cake. Cheesecake frosting," the customer wrote in the June 4 email, according to Phillips' lawsuit filed in Denver's federal court on Tuesday. "And the topper should be a large figure of Satan, licking a 9" black Dildo. I would like the dildo to be an actual working model, that can be turned on before we unveil the cake."

Poor Phillips is now going to be hauled before the state Supreme Court again, in connection with this case, and his refusal to bake a cake meant to celebrate a gender transition. Guess who is now on the record backing the persecution via lawfare of this man?

It’s not just her:

In an amicus brief signed by 18 state attorneys general sent to the Colorado Supreme Court on Wednesday, including James, the AGs wrote, "Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington share sovereign and compelling interests in protecting our residents and visitors from discrimination."

The AGs of all those liberal jurisdictions want the state to force that humble man to bake a Satanic dildo cake.

Now, you can argue all the legal details you want to, but to ordinary people, there is a connection between Letitia James going after Donald Trump because she hates him, and Letitia James siding with the persecutors of Jack Phillips because he’s a member of a group she despises. And if Trump and the Republicans have a lick of political sense, they are going to make that connection in their public rhetoric, and keep making it all the way to election day.

None of us are going to be rich New York developers who are hit with a $400 million judgment that could end up with our high-rises seized by the state, because we are on the wrong side of the political and legal System there. But a hell of a lot of us could be Jack Phillips, who will be hounded to his grave by these people.

And this is why we will vote Trump.

    Why would one ever think that this crushing assault on the freedom God gives us will be stopped with anything other than force?

    It is difficult to understand how there could be peace with such scumbags. And then they are surprised that guns and ammo are flying off the shelves?
    Suppose the caterer were asked by Nazis to bake a cake sporting a swastika, and he refused. Would the wokescum come to the aid of the Nazis?
    They don’t understand such basic concepts as individual liberty, private property, freedom of association, right of conscience, etc. all bedrock to the republic.

    The woke think the non-woke can be pushed infinitely far.
    But they cannot be pushed infinitely far.

    Indeed, there is a relatively short finite distance beyond which the non-woke cannot be pushed. If we get to that point, all hell will break loose and it won’t be pretty. Well, Joe, did you ever think the Republic would collapse within our lifetimes?
    I paid a bill yesterday by ordinary post. The stamp I used said “Forever” on it. I am getting tired of bullshit like that. Other examples: “Land of the free, home of the brave.” “Leader of the free world.”

    Nostalgic, soporific, useful idiot bullshit.

    Well, Bro Bill, I think that it is still an open question as to wether the Republic will collapse, or is collapsing, but:
    I NEVER thought I would see real evil so rampant in my country as I see it now: And the lies ! 180º lies — Murder called ‘Women’s health care.’ The ubiquitous, and constant bleating about the ‘climate crisis,’ a patently absurd, artificially ginned-up fear about an innocent and necessary little molecule. The satanic assault on the fact that a Loving God made us male and female. I am beyond dismayed that so many people lack ALL common sense, and gobble up these lies, and other lies. There is little faith in Providence these days.
    All this, I did not think I would ever see.
    I want to stay alive long enough to see these overwhelming follies swept away.
    Since things move much more rapidly now than in the past, I think I have a chance to see it.

    >>Since things move much more rapidly now than in the past, I think I have a chance to see it.<< True, but what is the antecedent of 'it,' yours or mine? "Abortion is health care." An Orwellianism on stilts. A leftard sillyjism: The U.S. gov't must provide health care at tax-payer expense to all those present within the U.S. borders, citizens and non-citizens alike. Abortion is health. Ergo, etc. There is simply no limit to 'woke' insanity.

    The antecedent to ‘it’ might well be very rough. I will try to do my part. Eventually the left will require everyone to bow down and worship evil, and there will be no escaping.
