But what is the relationship between Crystal O’Connor and Lawrence B. Jones? Is she just a worker there? If so, does she get a cut? She is the face of this ordeal and she is the one with her name and face out there.

Unbelievable. Stop the hatred. Your bible doesn't give you the right to be a jerk.


Hatred? There has been hate from only one place. Liberals. Threatening to kill and burn down their business. but that is par for the course with liberalism.

sure, the media loves to claim "tea party" anger and violence yet there is virtually zero evidence of such. But look at the liberal causes, rallies etc. Lot's of evidence of violence and property damage.

Liberals are the least tolerant group in our society. AINEC


Now, if you actually knew the situation with this pizza joint, you might understand.

Try this, clown.

You clowns also misconstrue not wanting to participate in a gay marriage to "disliking gays" and hate.

Stop perpetuating a myth. Hate is flowing 1 direction.

It's not my money so I don't care. The bigots can get all their money from the imbecile idiots who GOFUND them all they want. Who cares?

LOL. You really aren't that bright.

"They own a pizza shop. They have vastly more wealth than most of their donors".



You probably are one who rails on about the evil rich and the 1% and "fair share".

Clueless. Most small business owners (that are demonized by the left and Obama) have very little wealth and very little period. they just work hard and scrape by. Many don't even pay themselves. They can't afford to.

They have to make sure their employees are paid and if there is anything else left over then they get to buy more equipment or pay ahead on their loans.

The utter cluelessness of the left about the "free market", the "rich" (define rich for me too) and just about any of their other faux outrages is just astounding.

Opposing "gay marriage" or desiring to not be forced into association with gays is no more bigoted than liberals who shun harass or are "intolerant" of the people who oppose gay marriage. So you can answer the question yourself if its bigoted or not.

Bigotry really appears to have a pejorative meaning but in fact just means strong willed people who refuse to compromise their ideals. I've come to the conclusion there is no shame in being labelled a bigot if the dictionary definition of the term is being correctly applied. We're either all bigots...or we're apathetic and weak minded pushovers.

Gays have engaged in civil unions and commitment ceremonies for decades. No one on the "right" have ever waged a war to prevent those ceremonies and you know it.

And a simple internet search shows that your statement about having only on abortion clinic in your state is false, so it seems unlikely that the rest of your statements on that issue are credible.

Also, trying to pass legislation, which is how things are done, hardly equates to death threats, shutting down businesses by calling in threats, public ridicule and bullying tactics of the LGBTQFKJQQXYZ++ mafia.
Do you think that gay groups don't get death threats? Gays are not only threatened, but beat up and killed in this country because they dare to speak up.

Please do tell where all of the abortion clinics in Mississippi are.

The building has been repeatedly vandalized, had bomb threats, and the staff threatened.

Candle vigils?

Pretty rough candle vigil if it destroyed the security cameras and the buildings generator.

She is the co-owner, and he works for the blaze.

None. Religious people have to maintain the illusion that they're underdogs under attack by the oppressive heathens. If they admit that they're the overwhelming majority and that they control more of society than the non-religious people then they can't play the victims any more. Suddenly the War on Christmas, the Gay Mafia, the Liberal Oppression, etc all go out the window.

Bombing abortion clinics, opposing civil rights for minorities, legislating hypocritical morality, imposing an agenda of ignorance and indifference. If "faith" were some inherent moral booster shot then crime would plummet and every charity's coffers would be bursting at the seams. Religious people are just like everyone else: mostly a-holes and idiots, a handful of good ones.

I'm a "leftist" and I don't give Muslims a pass. Islam is a dangerous religion that promotes hatred and violence. I don't give Muslim bigots my money either. Way to make stupid, sweeping statements without any critical thought though.
