    Ann Coulter could've told those cry baby libs who would be their next president but they don't want anyone that knows something about politics, they want an unhinged emotional lib to repeat the same old mantra.

    "free exercise thereof..."

    There are a few religious-affiliated hospitals that will not provide abortions and at the same time are being paid for services rendered under Medicaid and Medicare.

    Obergefell is the different standard. Domestic/Family Law legislation has always been determined by state legislatures. The Supreme Court had no jurisdictional standing to hear the case.

    I agree with you.. You can stay aware or protest, but violence is out.

    Just to remember: Antifa aren't liberals or simply socialists. Neither are they your old civil rights movement, struggling against the KKK.

    Antifa is bound to completely rule the streets and political discourse with intimidation and violence, using an alleged recurrence of historical nazism as a pretext. It is a revolutionary, communist militia.

    Modern day (Black Bloc) Antifa came up in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s, where they would get a free ticket for everything, if the would just say they're "against Nazis". Similar movements exist in other European countries, but of course they could insist nowhere else on unrestricted violence as in Germany. Basically, all the former "revolutionary" communist groups, including the terrorist Red Army Faction (RAF) adopted the name "Antifascists", in order to gain acceptance and discredit critics and victims.

    Antifa got their butts kicked, and they'd better get used to it. You can't man an army with homos and trannies and fat girls with megaphones and hope to beat humans.

    What we're really witnessing here is the liberal deployment of their newly formed brownshirts. The astonishing thing is the unwillingness to be transparent, the hiding behind masks, the unwillingness to be identified as members of these groups. What are liberals afraid of? Folks won't forget, like for folks like mr Ayers?

    I like the whining about mega leftist violence which is immediately followed by scoffing at security concerns as reason to ditch Coulter and her likes.

    Pretending violence isn't the desired outcome.

    So you are saying that if a bakery were non-profit they could refuse to bake a same sex civil union cake?

    The 1st Amendment doesn't make distinctions about any conditions under which the free exercise of religion can be utilized.

    Sorry, this points the wrong way. I have no problem with homos, trannies and fat girls, and I don't like to have people made fun of them like this.

    Antifa may include some of them, but despite their chaotic appearance, they are, or will soon become, a highly organized militia with trained goons, and worse, they turn out to be pretty witty using right everything for their purpose, including media and legal system. Kicking their butts a few times in the street will not be sufficient to get rid of the problem.

    I know they're rather new in the USA, so they may still do a lot of mistakes and stupid things. But expect them to learn. And get ready to learn about/from them, because they will likely become the serious problem they are already in Europe.

    And, btw., I recommend not to make too many enemies. There may be a lot of homos, trannies and fat people who really dislike these commie goons. If they know they can enjoy individual freedom, will not be threatened and don't need Antifa for protection, they may become allies.

    Do you think an army of homos, trannies, and fat girls with megaphones would stand up to humans?

    Not so far.

    Perhaps you should come and visit Berlin-Kreuzberg, Hamburg Schanzenviertel, Göttingen, Freiburg or any other Antifa stronghold in Europe. There will be the same kind of goons you find in a neo-Nazi group or a criminal gang. It will be really much harder than in Berkeley, and probably end up the other way.

    I don't want to discourage resistance against Antifa, just warn against underestimating them.

    Ah, yes. The birthplace of you-know-what.

    I think they were full of homos, too. And we know how well that turned out for them.

    Yes. And from the very same places, another problem is coming now. Or, it has been "tested" there. "They" once weren't homos in their time, only "their" weak successors, who came up in the late 1970s, were gay and died from AIDS.

    Just don't say you haven't been warned!

    Playing to an audience of distressed howling monkeys flinging poo, no doubt.

    But who am I kidding? The anti civil libertarians in Berkeley wouldn't let Ann Coulter appear in their bubble of intolerance even under those conditions.

    Christian churches differ in that as in other regards, and you cannot dictate to them all in insisting that they must interpret scripture according to your preferences. Furthermore, no Christian sect proscribes cake-baking

    No Christian Church is forced to perform marriage ceremonies of any sort, but individuals who are in the business of serving the public cannot arbitrarily discriminate, whether that be a conservative Catholic baker that denies his serves to divorced individuals re-marrying, a Mormon objecting to demon rum being served at the festivities, a Seventh Day Adventist upset about caffeinated beverages accompanying his cake, or a member of a radical cult that condemns interracial marriages who rages against baking a cake for such a union.

    No religion forbids cake baking.

    I've never understood why it is so dam complicated. Just don't go!

    If Megadeath had a concert locally, (I can't stand metal) I just wouldn't show up, because I don't want to listen to it, I see zero logic in protesting or resorting to violence. Isn't that what normal people do?

    I have stated my strong preference that this or any other ideological entertainer be allowed to perform, but I do not presume to dictate to institutions as to whom they choose to invite or disinvite, and I would object to the State imposing itself in that regard as well.

    It is a matter that should be discussed and resolved within the institution without the intrusion of those with an agenda attempting to force it upon that institution.

    If Liberty University had invited entertainer Trump to perform, and a portion of its student body strongly objected to a slutty, p****-grabbing, trophy-wife collector being booked, I would leave the matter entirely to the administration, faculty, and student body of LU to resolve, however they might do so.

    Universities are the LAST place where anyone should be objected to when they are invited to speak.

    The whole point of an education is to learn things. One cannot learn without being exposed to new ideas. In areas like math or science there may be hard truths but in other areas such as social sciences there are no hard truths.

    One cannot learn without hearing, reading about listening to and interrogating ideas one has never heard including ideas which are offensive.

    Coulter is certainly something of a provocateur and thrives on controversy but she does have ideas. She is not racist or sexist or bigoted which many accuse her of she is merely something of a radical ( radicals at berkeley ? god forbid ).

    Micheal Moore is no different except in the side of politics he espouses and he has spoken at Berkeley and many other places many left wingers such as Ward Churchill have shown up to engage in controversial radical speech making.

    Somehow it is only those on the right that people violently oppose.

    It seems Berkeley wants to be an echo chamber. If that is what they want FINE but in doing so they lose all respect as an institution of learning.
