That's been ruled on by the Court...ole Abe's SPEECH has not.

And I win.

So you deny the courts authority to interpret the constitution?

You're the "number 1 winner" from dinner with schmucks...congrats to the champ!

Not that, I'm just mocking your circular reasoning. And the fact that you couldn't figure that out.

I mean, those two dudes have the right to say whatever they want...and their sponsors have the right to pull their sponsorship if they want.

You have this all wrong...did you not read the article? This is not about SPONSORSHIP. It is about actual business.

FTA:

"n a statement provided first to TheDC on Friday, the Benham brothers confirmed that SunTrust Banks has pulled all of its listed properties with the Benham brothers’ bank-owned property business, which includes several franchisees across four states."

"The Brothers said they have had a “mutually productive working relationship with SunTrust for many years” and hold a ”preferred broker” status with the bank."

"In their statement, the Benhams said they “recognize SunTrust’s right to hire or fire any real estate broker they choose but do not support the decision” to fire independent franchisees that are associated with them. "

“Evidently, SunTrust’s longstanding commitment to diversity must not include our historic Christian values.”

“The success of my business is based on my performance,” he said. “I work hard to maintain a Preferred Status with all my clients. It appears that SunTrust simply reassigned the listing based on other external factors.”


NOW what do you have to say????

He has crap to do today he says, he had just enough time to mock EverRespect and call him a Bible thumper before darting out.

it's okay... i'll wait.

You may be waiting a while. These lib boys don't like to lose an argument and when they do, they won't respond, they'll take their ball and play elsewhere.

Too bad they can't take their balls and play elsewhere when it comes to gay marriage opposition. They sure can tell us that if we don't like it then we can move or change it or not read it though. Funny how that double standard works.

All because they hold conservative/religious views? But it's not okay for a business to decide not to make wedding cakes for same-sex marriages?

Double standard? Thoughts?

That's not all they did.

1) They advocated, publicly, banning Gay people in Charlotte from having any rights of protest, petition, speech, assembly, and association.

Here's the rest of the case against them

No they don't. Because gay wedding cake.

if you're not willing to serve all the public, you'll serve none of the public...

So much intolerance and hatred.

Quote:The owners of a "christian bake shop" can say what they like and sponsor whatever they like...they simply can't turn away a customer because they're gay.

Just as the owners of Sun Trust can sponsor whatever they like...but they can't turn away a christian from opening an account because of their religion.

That's what this article said they did.

Quote:And then comes.

No, what comes is disgust at your ignorance if US history, logic and the law.

But you're used to that.

Wow. I'm speechless. You actually believe that. Incredible.

Turning someone away because of who they are is tolerant, but saying that the entire public should be treated equally is "intolerant.

Amazing. You actually believe that too. It's astounding.

You said that a business refusing someone business because of who they are is "tolerant".

But wanting equal treatment for all people, regardless of who they are is intolerant.

Do I need to claim it's a scientific article on a Wordpress blog for you to understand?

You are fine with a business turning away people because they're gay.

But you said that "you serve all the public, or none of it" is intolerant. So, demanding equal treatment for everyone is "intolerant"?

Your double-talk isn't very good.

Read it - all it said was in 2004 (READ TEN YEARS AGO). They went to the city council to ask that they no longer have gay pride parades in the city. The rest of it is just their opinion that Homosexuality is on the dark side of the spiritual war between God and Satan - which is true of all Christians.

Regardless, it doesn't matter what they believe - a bank should not be able to pull all business (NOT SPONSORSHIP, this is actual business) because they disagree with the belief system of the customer.

Should Sun Trust go ahead and close the savings accounts of all people in the country who hold similar beliefs? These guys should be allowed to believe whatever they want and not have it mean they are not welcome to do business with certain companies. Their money isn't the same as everyone else's?

This is hypocritical and you know it.
