By Nigel Jaquiss- Via WWeek- Aaron Klein changed his mind. Since July, Klein has refused to comply with an order from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries that he pay $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple for whom Klein's Gresham bakery, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, refused to make a wedding cake. But today, without fanfare, Klein walked into BOLI's Portland office and handed over a check for $136,927.07, an amount that includes accrued interest. Depositing the check doesn't mean that Klein and his wife and business partner, Melissa Klein, have given up: Although they are no … [Read more...]

Disobey: Taking a stand for religious liberty

Disobey: Taking a stand for religious liberty By Alexis Deacon When Kim Davis was arrested and sent to jail by a federal judge, for refusing to issue same sex marriage licenses due to her religious beliefs, it made me think of Martin Luther King, Jr's words in his well known letter from Birmingham jail "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." Civil disobedience has an important place in our republic. The new civil rights movement has begun. In theory, everyone should be free to do what they … [Read more...]

Lookout Christians, Trump agrees With Joe Scarborough On Religious Liberty
By · Leave a Comment
Trump is definitely not big on the Constitution. Video from MSNBC. Press the arrow to play. ********************** Our country is in danger. We need to elect a Constitutional conservative as president in the next election and Trump is not the guy. Many people are just ill informed. In the past few weeks our "Trump is not a conservative" section has made many converts. People who use to be Trump supporters simply didn't realize he had so many Leftist views most of his life and the media has done the voters a disservice by not informing the population. After … [Read more...]

Kim Davis in Jail, Criminal Illegals Out of Jail
By · 1 Comment
By Daniel Horowitz Via Conservative Review - Consider this for a moment: Kim Davis was thrown into jail for disobeying a court opinion that created a constitutional right to something that never existed until 2001 – at the expense of the oldest and most foundational right – religious liberty. On the same day, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a transgendered illegal alien, who was convicted of drunk driving, cannot be deported to Mexico because he faces the likelihood of “torture.” Let that sit and simmer for a moment. Continuing on, Edin Carey Avendano-Hernandez illegally … [Read more...]

By Kelsey Harkness Via Daily Signal- Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian finalized a preliminary ruling today ordering Aaron and Melissa Klein, the bakers who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, to pay $135,000 in emotional damages to the couple they denied service. “This case is not about a wedding cake or a marriage,” Avakian wrote. “It is about a business’s refusal to serve someone because of their sexual orientation. Under Oregon law, that is illegal.” In the ruling, Avakian placed an effective gag order on the Kleins, ordering them to “cease and desist” from … [Read more...]

The Supreme Court unilaterally overruled the will of the people
By · 2 Comments
Matt Walsh Via facebook I'm just getting back from vacation. I made it home just in time to watch on TV as the Supreme Court unilaterally overruled the will of the people, the authority of the legislature, and thousands of years of human civilization to decree that gay marriage must be legalized across the land. Of course I'm not surprised by this turn of events, but it's no less despicable, infuriating, and bewildering. Especially after reading a good portion of the majority opinion, which appears to have been written by a teenage gay activist, not a Justice of the highest court in the … [Read more...]

Powerful article by Ben Shapiro explaining one of the ways the Supreme Court is forcing its will on the states and the people. I bolded certain words in the piece which really hit home for me. - Alexis By Ben Shapiro Via Breitbart On Monday, the Supreme Court refused to take on the issue of gay marriage – and by doing so, essentially greenlit same-sex marriage across the nation, encouraging low-level courts to continue knocking down traditional marriage laws across the country. Challenges to pro-same-sex marriage rulings in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin have been rejected, … [Read more...]

Mike Lee authors bill to prevent Obama from pushing churches to support gay marriage
By · 3 Comments
By Joel Gehrke -Via The Washington Examiner -Sen. Mike Lee has authored a bill to prevent President Obama from using his executive power to push churches and other nonprofit groups to recognize gay marriage. "It is concerning that we have people in this administration who think that religious liberties are just not that big of a deal," the Utah Republican told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday. President Obama promised to respect religious liberty in his statement on the Supreme Court's June decision to overturn parts of the Defense of Marriage Act in Windsor v. United States. "How … [Read more...]

Christian Airman Punished by Lesbian Commander Faces Possible Court Martial

By Ken Klukowski Via Breitbart- Updating our earlier report on Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk, a Christian serving in the Air Force whose unit is now commanded by a lesbian: according to Monk’s complaint filed with his superiors, he was relieved of duty for refusing his commander’s order to say he supports gay marriage. Now the Air Force has taken the first steps to criminally investigate Monk for talking to the media about his situation. Despite the fact that earlier this year the Obama-Hagel Pentagon said they would never court-martial a service member for their Christian faith, … [Read more...]
