Citizens have to Draw the Line, Even Bakers

We have a right and obligation to draw the line for our own rights and not be pushed around by phony, set-up intimidation by special interests and a overreaching government! m/r

In my forthcoming book, “Scarlet Letters: The Ever-Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism Exposed,” I address the emergence of what I call “progressive neo-puritanism.”

With the exception of Islam, an unlikely ally in the rainbow coalition, this may well be the most judgmental, vengeful, unforgiving quasi-religious cult in the Western world today.

In the past week, the good citizens of Indiana got branded with a scarlet H by the most judgmental and vengeful of all the neo-puritan sub-cults, the gay rights sect.

Oregon’s Melissa and Aaron Klein understood full well what Indiana lawmakers were hoping to accomplish. The couple used to operate a storefront bakeshop, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, in metropolitan Portland.

In February 2013, these Christian parents of five refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. The lesbians promptly filed a civil rights complaint against the Kleins, and their supporters set out to cripple their business.

Their tactics included death threats, vandalizing the bakery’s vehicle on several occasions, and the intimidation of the clients and vendors listed on the shop’s website.

“They have an odd way of showing tolerance,” quipped Aaron of his local neo-puritans. Overwhelmed, the Kleins moved their business home but were unable to list their phone number due to the constant harassment.
