Liberal logic: take from those who went to college and worked hard to get ahead, then redistribute it to those who sit around drinking and popping out kids left and right. Gotta love it.

Can you shorten that up a bit? Doesn't quite fit on the bumper sticker I'm thinking to print and sell back to you folks...
I see Christians use the Old Testament to justify a point of view all the time. This argument is pathetic. Unless you'll use that equally, if not more, absurd argument of: "well, they aren't real Christians."
Trying to understand the liberal mindset is one of the great mysteries of life. It can't be done by a rational person.
So is trying to understand conservatism especially when religion comes into play. You want small government except when it deals with reproductive rights.

Liberal is a broad word, but in general, liberals live by the basic philosophy that everyone's conditions should always be improving, to contrast that with the conservatives which is that everyone's individual freedom should be as untouched as possible.
Since the topic is on liberals, can I ask what specifically you aren't understanding?
If it helps, read some of the work of John Rawls. He more or less sums up what Democrats think like. It's not perfect, but it's reasonably close. His basic economic theory, for example, is a regulated economy who's main goal is economic growth and that the condition of people is not to be sacrificed for the sake of what is profitable; he would say economic inequality is ok so long as the worst off still have their conditions improved.
As a Korean-American, I can't just waltz into an Italian restaurant demanding they prepare me a meal of Kimchi and Bulgogi. This is in effect what gay couples are forcing Christian bakeries to do. If gays want a gay wedding cake they need to go to a place that makes them.
That's not the same at all.
An Italian restaurant does not have the ingredients or knowledge to make Kimchi and Bulgogi.
A baker of cakes has the knowledge and ingredients to make a wedding cake.

The only way this makes sense at all is if "Christian" bakeries refer to themselves as that. For instance, Sweet Cakes by Melissa should have been "Christian Cakes by Melissa" or "Fundamental Baptist Cakes by Melissa."
Italian restaurants serve a product, Italian Food. If a fundamentalist Christian baker wants to serve cakes only for fundamentalist Christian weddings, they need to brand themselves as such.
