I'd be willing to bet that the liberals will gave them a free pass, but heaven help the baker who refuses to bake a cake for a gay couple.

Roughly 25 Muslim drivers dispatched to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport are refusing to drive cabs adorned with advertising for the region’s upcoming Gay Games, citing religious reasons.
Two of the three companies operating at Ohio's largest airport were informed by the drivers — one-third of the airport’s total fleet — last week that they will no longer participate in the airport’s dedicated taxicab program. The companies, Ace and Yellow Taxi Cab, were told by the drivers that their decision was based on religious reasons, airport spokeswoman Jacqueline Mayo told FoxNews.com.
Ann Gynn, a spokeswoman for the Gay Games, said she believes the protest is an “isolated” case and not indicative of the beliefs held by most residents in Cleveland and Akron, where the Gay Games will be held on Aug. 9-16.
My response is that the idea of a "Gay Games" is ridiculous.
Taken directly from the article:
"Launched in San Francisco in 1982, the Gay Games are open to anyone aged 18 or older. Tom Waddell, a gay athlete who could not be open about his sexual orientation when he competed in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, sought to create an event where people could compete and be open regarding their sexuality."
Once again, conservatives brought this on themselves.

Haha, yep. That's all that this conservative has to say about it. The "Gay Games" sounds like something from a bad sketch comedy show. One made by eighth graders.
You know and I know that those cabbies are statistically FAAARRR more likely to be Democrats..and have a love for Obama. Additionally, they share the same political party with the gays who they refused to take. Your ideology is similiar to theirs' in that you belong to the same political party. You are all screwed up you don't even know what you believe. Most conservatives I know value hard work and for one, would never turn down a paying customer as long as that customer wasn't disrespectful. You choose to not deal in reality, so lets blame the right.
I suppose that proves that political party isn't all it's cracked up to be as a barometer of "ideology." This should not be a bit surprising since there are effectively only two choices when it comes to party i.d.

Well, that's odd.....
I work with a lot of Muslims who loathe Obama.

Seriously, why does someone feel to need to announce who they are?

Tell them to update their resume's if they don't like the policy. It's a free world, right??? People have the right to choose where they work, if they aren't down with the company's policies or standards of ethics that they adhere to they can look for work somewhere else.
