No one is ever tolerant of Christians.

If you went to take your significant other or family out and a business wouldn't serve you, bake you a cake, take your picture, or whatever because of whatever they don't like about you, I'd be very surprised if it did not bother you in any way.
"Flushing your values and morals" has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with discrimination.

Tolerance has nothing to do with private business. Christians aren't turned away from restaurants/services operated by Muslim, Jewish, or LGBT people. If they were, I guarantee you there would be an outcry. Yet turn around and exhibit the same intolerance towards a minority group, and it's religious freedom. Right.

RE: WashPo: 19 other states have Indiana law, no boycott
So, those above utterances from you are just meaningless words. Treating others as you would want to be treated.
I get seriously pissed when someone tries to make me do something. I treat others as I want to be treated. I would not try to make someone serve me. Anything.
Anyone doesn't want my business, I go elsewhere.

What kind of persecution complex do you have? Name a single president who did not self-identify as christian. There isn't one. 79% of Congress identifies as Catholic or Protestant. Not getting enough special treatment isn't 'intolerance', stop acting like it is.

Nineteen states and the federal government have the same law.
It's funny how the left gets its panties in a wad over a sudden "crisis" like this.

Not the same and really, really sad that people keep equating the two.

Discrimination is discrimination. Especially when you throw out derogatory terms.

Not really the same. The Indiana bill is vastly more discriminatory in scope.
This was just the straw that broke the camels back. It was long overdue.

Plus, let's be blunt, it's an easy way to grandstand and show you support a movement in general. It's indiana.

Oh right. I've seen this before.
If there are ten other bakers willing to do the cake, how is the buyer harmed? And even if there's only one baker in town, why does the baker have to forfeit their rights? Like I said in a previous post, I'm a little overweight. If a baker told me he doesn't sell cakes to overweight people, I don't file a lawsuit. I move on to the next baker and he gets my money. That's the adult way to handle this.
Libs have society divided into groups and they take their position on issues based on where these groups are on the totem pole. Muslims > gays > blacks > women > atheists, etc. Christians and Jews (unfortunately for them) are always at the very bottom of the pole.

Man, this victim complex you have is getting out of control. You might want to see a professional about it, and I'm only slightly joking.

He also supported ENDA and the federal legislation didn't address private commerce.

Calling out some of the widespread and accepted hyperbole for what it is, is actually contributing to the thread. Try and keep up.
