It is time to see how the shoe fits when it is on the other foot. A recent post on Gateway Pundit shared the story of a restaurant in Virginia that turned away a Christian group. They cancelled reservations for a event when they learned that the group was Christian and, horror of horrors, actually took Biblical stands on moral issues. They were unwelcomed.
I have two conflicting responses to this. First, as a rule-of-law, Constitutional patriotic American I salute their rights guaranteed, or at least promised, in the First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech and freedom of association. If they don’t want to serve certain people then more power to them. As much as I agree with the group that was rejected I accept the rights of others and would not want to spend my money at an establishment that rejected basic moral principles.
On the other hand, I am tired of the cherry picking that goes on under the disguise of justice. If a baker can go through years of trials and intimidation because he does not want to bake a gay cake then I would suggest if we are under the rule of law that this restaurant needs to go through the same gamut. I know, it doesn’t work that way. Justice is a joke and the law is a one way door.
But I can dream.
My guess is that this will never make the front pages of the MSM and will certainly not be addressed by the DOJ.
I hope that I am proved wrong.
