GoFundMe Blocks Fundraising for Embattled Baker Who Refused To Make Gay Wedding Cake, Citing "Hateful" Acts
They shellacked Sweet Cakes by Melissa, a Christian-owned business, with a $135,000 fine for refusing to bake a gay wedding cake.
So people tried to chip in -- through GoFundMe -- to pay that fine. And the "Jalverts of the SJWs," as Rod Dreher calls them, demanded GoFundMe block the use of its site for this purpose. And GoFundMe -- which now enters the list of companies which must be boycotted and hopefully destroyed -- complies.So, there we have it: the Social Justice Warriors, not content to have driven this bakery out of business, are now trying to prevent people from giving the bakers money to pay their monumental fine. It is not enough for the SJWs that the Klein family business was destroyed. And it is not enough that the Kleins are now struggling to feed their five children, and facing a $135,000 fine that will probably drive them to bankruptcy. Nope, the progressive stance is now to grind those people to dust, in the name of social justice.And yet Hillary Clinton took millions and millions in "charitable donations" despite being a legislator who could block gay marriage -- and claimed the desire to do so, until the polls on the issue shifted in 2013. Great video showing Hillary "evolve" precisely as the polls changed.

No.
"Companies" are in business to do one thing - make a return on investment. Dealing with real or imagined (FB/Twit/Whatever = imagined) bogeymen isn't profitable, so they're not going to push back - and there is no history of larger firms ever having done much pushback.
Where we've gone off of the proverbial rails is the sea change in society - back in the day such idiocy was publicly shamed and ridiculed. Today, however, "Teh OUTRAGE" is worn as a badge of honor, and is saluted by the mandarins.
We're screwed.

Even if we were to give the bakers $135k they then have to turn it over to their persecutors - rather reminiscent of paying terrorists to release a hostage.
Have they tried seeking religious/political asylum either with another state or heck the Vatican?

The website GoFundMe said in a statement Saturday that it took down the
page because the campaign violated the policy against raising money 'in
defense of formal charges of heinous crimes, including violent, hateful,
or sexual acts'.

There is not.

Yes, actually. Companies that show a willingness to cooperate with leftist demands place themselves outside of any American mutual protection agreement and must be made an example of. If they will make their decisions on fear, our only option is to make them fear us more than the foreign left.

SCREW UP THE ORDER.
Better advice via Bookworm: http://preview.tinyurl.com/ne87m3y
"When some homosexual couple comes to your Christian business for
services at their immoral event, don't panic. Go ahead and take their
business!
Then explain what is going to happen next.
Tell them that the food and services will be just fine. And then
inform them that all of the money that they pay for the services will be
donated to a traditional pro-family lobby. If it is something like
catering, where your employees have to be there to provide services,
tell them that all your people will smile, be professional, and everyone
of them will be wearing crucifixes and have the Holy Family embroidered
on their uniforms. Then show them pictures of your uniforms. When the
truck pulls up, speakers will be playing Immaculate Mary. Show them the
truck and play the music.
"Oh, you would be offended by that? I'm so sorry. You approached us because we are Christians. Right?...."

There are, I noted FundRazr upthread.
Barriers to entry are the ability to establish perceived trust, achieving brand recognition, and spending some moneyon software, lawyers, and payment systems so that the integrity is solid.

What kind of quack verified this in medical records? How can being denied cake cause you to become so emotionally overwhelmed you cannot function? If that is the case, there are bigger problems than your damn cake/wedding, and you probably should excuse yourself from society for a while, until you can get a handle on life.

The lesbos are seeking revenge because they are fat, butt-ugly misfits who secretly wish they were normal, and even when they profess to be proud of their lesbianism, they deep down loath themselves and wish they had been born something other than a sexually frustrated taco muncher.

Samaritan's Purse is a charity started by Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son. He's a lot more grounded than his daddy, is a conservative, and created the organization in response to the war in Bosnia/Herzegovina, by sending shoeboxes with small toys, flashlights, socks, mittens, etc to distribute to the children in the fray. The response was massive-with many Bosnian converts to Christianity because of it. Hubby saw it first hand when he was there during the war.
Now, it continues the shoebox ministry, but also has an alternative to heifer international, a secular/Rockefeller charity that provides farm/agricultural aide to impoverished people. Samaritan's purse also sponsors missionary doctors/nurses and infrastructure investment. It is a solid organization, and spends more than 10% of its donations on actual charity. (it's actually closer to 50 or 60% I think.)

Dissent is being criminalized right now. The IRS and Wisconsin and Oregon are just on the leading edge of that.
If it hasn't hit you yet, be thankful.
People do need to form groups to stand up to it, because alone you'll get squished like a bug.
The left really thinks it's justified in *anything* it does to you, because they've defined you as irredeemably evil, which they needed in order to justify doing the things they want to you.
That's why they can single you out for an audit or raid your home at 4am or threaten to raise your fine if you manage to pay for it, which is all completely bugfuck insane.

And how many places were like CA, where the citizens, in effect, had to rebel two or three times to reverse and slap down Sacramento when it tried to cram redefinition down the state's throat? So even the "raw score" on the scoreboard will understate the degree by which this idea has been rejected across the country.
Pure, farcical, outrageous, judicial tyranny will rule the day, of course.Laughably making marriage redefinition a "civil rights" or "equal protection" issue - against all common sense and all relevant facts, and fundamentally abusing the entire concept of equal protection (which is pretty much in the rear-view mirror anyway, in a system with affirmative action, "protected classes", and other ridiculous contradictions of basic principles).

Now, it continues the shoebox ministry, but also
has an alternative to heifer international, a secular/Rockefeller
charity that provides farm/agricultural aide to impoverished people.
Samaritan's purse also sponsors missionary doctors/nurses and
infrastructure investment. It is a solid organization, and spends more
than 10% of its donations on actual charity. (it's actually closer to 50
or 60% I think.)

So here's the thing: This is pretty much trolling. Very few bakers or florists will turn down a job like this. A gay wedding (actually, wedding *reception*, which has no legal standing) is just a party.
That's it. Just a party. A little theater too. That's it. The really devout Christian would see a secular gay wedding no different from any secular, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu wedding.
But I think that now I would oppose serving gay weddings on principle. Because I like to be able to say no.

It occurs to me that you see a lot fewer startup Korean businesses than you used to. I suppose it's because the mother country is richer, so the draw of coming to the US and dealing with the dregs of humanity is lessened. OTOH, if the Norks ever fall, we can look forward to an influx from Pyongyang. Silver linings.

I refuse to believe that good people, living their lives as they see fit, can be destroyed by the deviant and thuggish -- and that this is all there is, with no hope for final justice. Otherwise, the rest of us are the rubes, and the Clintons, Kardashians, Sopranos, et al, are the ones to emulate.

We wouldn't want the police to discriminate against the late looters in favor of the early looters, would we?
Maybe some people had to wait to get off work or to finish school before they were able to loot. Do we want to send a message that working or educations puts you at a disadvantage in terms of looting?

Well, yes...it mostly for a same race riot.
Flavor?
Oh, chocolate I would think...But throw a few marshmallows in there as well.
For decoration?
Something simple... some broken glass, some broken cop figurines, a burning car or two.
When?

I've had many different opinions as to what to get.
Pistol: easy to use, and the wife can operate it, provided you buy the right kind. Bullets won't penetrate too many walls.
Rifle: firepower and accuracy
Shotgun: Won't penetrate walls, kills what you're aiming at. Very intimidating racking sound.
At this point, shotgun has the best of the argument, but I'm considering all of the above.

Basic Mossberg pump with two barrels (longer one to enjoy trap shooting, which is quite fun and easy) is usually out there for around $300. Order yourself a few cases of low-recoil trap/practice rounds, and a few boxes of low-recoil law enforcement buckshot rounds. Go practice and have fun getting good with the thing (both of ya's) at a range. Keep the gun fitted with the 18.5" barrel at home with the self-defense rounds handy.
There's really quite a dramatic difference in skills required, confidence level, etc. between a shotgun (esp. for home defense use) and either handguns or rifles. Shotgun's much easier.

1. Shotgun and Pistols have penetration issues. In many cases a fast, fragmenting rifle round will penetrate less than a pistol round. The specifics are complicated - just assume EVERY bullet will penetrate EVERY wall.
2. Pistols are not easier to use. I could point you towards dozens of rifles and shotties that are far easier to operate then most pistols.
3. The lethality of shotguns is somewhat overstated.
4. Racking a shotgun just gives your position away, and can be a failure point under duress.
I would recommend a tactical semi-auto shotgun or an AR (M4 style). And, lots of practice.
Handguns I would wait on until you established a practice/maintenance routine, get a carry permit, and figure out what you're going to do with it. And, a lot more practice.
Posted by: Jean at April 27, 2015 05:28 PM (ztOda)
pep:
A shotgun is an excellent choice, BUT ...
... the rounds will go through a (sheetrock) wall. Maybe not 2, if you're using birdshot, but plan on at least 1.
Plan on backup material: several cans of pepper spray, maybe a can or 4 of bear spray (fogger), a couple of stun guns, a tire-iron or two ... and many big zip-ties, for subduing anyone still remaining. I post this recommendation a lot.
There will likely be times when your shotgun is not the easiest thing to grab, or someone is in the way, or someone is behind the target, or ...
How much hesitation will you have in shooting someone? Probably very much less if you have to pepper-spray them ... and the legal ramifications are considerably less.
Bear-spraying a group of 10 or 15 youts might be a one-time deal ... they won't be back ... or they will, but you and your friends and neighbors will be ready, and reality will be clear.

The "burn" is going on, in a thousand different places and different ways. It's the degradation of that ridiculous spectacle of the hotelier grovelling before the gaystapo for his Cruz event. It's the utter, arbitrary lawlessness from the Oval Office - and equally so the passive or collusive reaction from the "opposition". It's the transformation of the judiciary into an unaccountable, irresponsible, tyrannical unelected super-legislature for dummies. It's the mau-mauing of local parents in school districts swamped with illegals. It's the rent-seeking corporatism, starting to resemble Germany about 1936, that has replaced one component of American pluralism (an independent private sector). It's the jaw-dropping, wildly irresponsible joy-riding occurring in fiscal and monetary affairs, with central banks scrambling to keep plates spinning with no idea of the effect on longer term prosperity and integrity of markets or currencies.
There's your "burn".

Opinions on this topic are as varied and vehement as the carpet vs. hardwood one.
I would recommend a 12 gauge pump shotgun for an entry-level home defense/all purpose weapon. Depending upon wife's build, etc, 20 gauge might be a better fit.
Projectile penetration issues in houses is a problem, and some folks recommend M4/AR type weapons as a solution to this problem. There is a valid argument here, but for a novice, I'd still recommend something simple. Pump shotgun is very simple. Plus, Uncle Joe thinks they're all anyone ever needs.
Practice with anything is extremely important.

My advice, as stated, was simply that shotguns are easier to learn how to use for the application in question (close quarters indoors defense) than the other two platforms.
I'll stick with my pump action preference. Just one less potential complication (and yes, one can/should work out any ammo compatibility issues with a semi-auto well in advance).

Haven't been able to find any, but reduced recoil law enforcement #1 buck (vs. 00) has been shown to actually deliver reduced wall-penetration, I believe. In any case, pep, if you do get a shotgun, try out the various reduced recoil defense rounds available. I've got Hornady TAP rounds and they are very easy to keep on target (also have a tight pattern). 18.5" pump shotgun and good defense rounds can make almost anyone basically capable of home defense in short order.
Practice - why I suggested getting a case (250 or 500) of light recoil trap ammo and shootin' the bejeesus out of a new shotgun until operation is second nature. Then doing monthly practice sessions - or better, screwing around with trap shooting or local tactical fun shoots.

ELECTING ABE LINCOLN. It would force the issue. the SJWs want anyone who has a different opinion on the matter to be ostracized. Anyone supporting him too.
Definitely a 'southern slave owners react to Lincoln election' fell ot it. Elect the Canadian and send the SJW elites to
Canada. Or to riots. Or both. It works.
I think the whole "It's unimaginable to have
Ted Cruz elected" thing is really about this: WE CANNOT IMAGINE THE
CONSERVATIVES ACTUALLY WINNING THE CULTURE OR POLITICAL WAR. Imagine the Supreme Court actually *not* making gay marriage the
law of the land. Hard to imagine it not happening. It's as if that is a done deal.
There is no space for
dissent. Hard to imagine anti-gay-marriage sentiment gettign stronger and American deciding "You know, all this gay marriage, pot smoking, cr*p ... let's cut it out and go back to being like our parents and grandparents on these issues."
At this point, you have SJWs inciting discrimination
campaigns against people on the basis of the evil that is ... er,
discrimination. The moral basis of freedom is lost. Tolerance of other views is kaput.
It's like
the rot has gotten too far, too many people are too far gone to the
other side, there is no 'center' of people who actually are thinking
sensibly, and even if they did, the power constructs forbid holding reasonable views.
It's time to go Marxist and force the contradictions in the system. Ergo, Cruz for President. If it happens - Upper East Side riots will break out.
