Liberal Hypocrisy over What Private Business Owners Can Do

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Remember a couple years ago when a Christian youth pastor was arrested for talking about his faith in a mall? Though, in my article, I agreed that the mall had the right to decide what to do with their own private business, I felt it was kind of messed up. I was not surprised, though. It kind of followed the typical liberal tactic of "free speech for all, as long as you agree with them." Otherwise, be silenced.

The Chick-fil-A situation revisits the topic. This time a business owner has indicated he supports traditional marriage, and the leftists and homosexuals have gone nuts. How dare he!

Gays and liberals have decided to boycott Chick-fil-A, and business is better than ever.

As for their protests and hate-filled anger towards Chick-fil-A, I can only say, "So much for free speech." It's not like he's arresting people at his business for talking about homosexuality, or anything - which would have been the same thing as what the liberal mall owner did when he arrested the Christian. The owner of Chick-fil-A simply revealed a political opinion, and all hell broke loose.

The latest, and this is not the first time this has happened, is that a bakery has refused to make a wedding cake for a gay wedding. It would be against their morals, and in response the gays threw some profanity around, and now is boycotting the bakery.

I am sure there were other bakeries in town. Why didn't they just try another one? Can't a business decide its own rules? The mall that arrested the Christian for talking about religion did.

The gay agenda and the liberal left use a double standard. It is okay to throw out a Christian for talking about Christianity, but you better not even have an opinion against homosexuality.

Notice the gay couple didn't ask a Muslim bakery to make their cake.

All of this double-standard liberal activity is sort of like the one about how gays applaud the fact that prayer was kicked out of schools because they don't want Christians pushing their beliefs on people, but they also support forcing teachers to teach gay history in a positive light, like it or not, regardless of the teacher's, or the parents of the student's, personal feelings on the subject.

So, let's get this straight, it is okay to force homosexuality on schools, bakeries, and chicken fast food, but talking about religion at a mall is wrong, praying at school is wrong, and a business owner daring to allow his pro-traditional marriage opinion out into the public is a no-no. Do I have that straight?

And, now, who is the totalitarian types?
