Hypocrisy Culture

So one segment of America insists that a baker must bake a cake for someone with whom he disagrees with on a pollical or religious subject, citing the right of all citizens to participate in commerce.
The same people demand that others with whom they disagree with on political or religious matters should not be allowed to participate in commerce. “They should be fired!” “Don’t shop with the company he works for!”
If you want the freedom to VOTE with your dollar, VOTE with your voice and VOTE at the polls, you must allow that freedom to others. But don’t say “I can choose where I spend my dollar” or “I can choose who I hire” when you don’t let other choose who they do business with or employ. Don’t say marches, riots and violence are needed to bring about change and then condemn others for attempting to bring about change. Don’t say border walls and guns are evil then put up fences armed with soldiers.
At some point you’re not an advocate for civil rights, you’re just a hypocrite.

Yeah it’s a bit hypocritical.
I personally think you should be able to deny service like the gay wedding cake.
I think The best way to deal with that is to boycott the business and see if they can survive.
It’s at least more consistent.
I like people stepping in these Situations rather than the government.
The flip side is, what if you live in a small area where services are limited? I would probably recommend moving out of a town where you can’t get any services, but that’s easier said than done.

The Conservative thinks its the baker's business, he has the right to run it like he wishes.
The Socialist thinks the business required a license and it's the public's right to regulate it. After all, it is about the efficient delivery of public goods and services.
We can't agree on what the constitution says much less concepts of personal property and personal commerce.

Business “licenses” for most industries are nothing more than revenue generators for state and local government. They’re not necessary.

Thats the point of that story people miss. They didnt not bake these people a cake because they were some unsuspecting gay couple that wanted a regular birthday cake. They didnt bake the cake because they were attention seeking gays that went there for the sole purpose of getting turned down.

I agree. In my initial post I mention the three votes. We vote daily with our voice and our dollar. And every so often we get to vote for our representatives. Too often Americans have shirked personal responsibility of the first two types of voting and instead demanded by the third that government force social change.
Our representatives can only pass two types of laws. Laws to tax us and laws that curb our freedoms.
I wish we had held firm to a small federal system and state sovereignty but we are too far down the trail now.
(And saying that I favor states' rights does not mean that I favored Slavery. I am here on the record saying that I abhor racism.)

And yet you vote for the opposite if your posts here are any indication.

I agree but in that case a boycott wouldn't have accomplished anything. All bark and no bite. That business would have kept on doing it's thing with no real drop off of customers.
If only the rest of these cowardly companies would realize this.

I see this problem as one of personal service rather than commodity exchange.
If you are selling cakes, you should be expected to sell that cake to any non-offensive person who wants to purchase it. You should not be expected to do anything but kick out a person who disrespects you or your employees or business.
HOWEVER if a person comes in and wants you to bake a "special" cake for them, you should be able to accept or deny that service based on the 'special' nature of the cake. If it is not in your normal repertoire then it's up to you to make the decision of whether to venture there or not.
IF you object to the sensibility of the wording, then you should be able to reject lending your artistic skills to something you don't agree with on a fundamental level.
You should not be expected to hire Cher to sing God Bless America at a Trump rally.

We are damn close to 1934 Germany.

tsk tsk tsk.
sorry - you have to put that phrase into every thought you might choose to express. You can not just deny it at the beginning or end of any statement. Every 3 word phrase you utter must be able to stand any interpretation the kooks want to lay upon it. And they don't have to explain their reasoning. If they merely say they "think" it is rayciss, then you are the guilty party.
