no. i say you are a nazi.
For believing that someone keeps their constitutional rights even when they start a business? Please point to me in the Constitution where you lose your rights for having a business? Where are public accomodations defined in the Constitution?
No. For ignoring the rights of others. For being a gigantic egoist.
I.e., "Nazi" here means "person who judges what's legal by reading the law instead of by catering to the demands of the currently fashionable mass political movement." It's a metaphor derived from the Nazis having been such well-known sticklers for legality.[/sarcasm]
But left-wingers' strawman rhetorical tactics aside, Juma's reply points to a deeper problem. If you don't lose your rights for having a business, but for not respecting the definition of "rights" the mass political movement makes up, and for being a gigantic nonbeliever in their ideology, then the loss of rights isn't limited to people running businesses, so there is nothing to stop the movement from targeting ordinary workers. Today, it's "Do what we define as your job for the person we designate, or we won't let you run a business.", but tomorrow it can be "Do what we define as your job for the person we designate, full stop."
In another thread, Tom Sawyer already advocated letting the government punish a person
for quitting his job, if they found that his reason for quitting was discriminatory. Juma appears to be entering the same totalitarian territory here -- if the government can punish a guy in the baking business for not selling his baking services to gays,
but it isn't having a business that makes him lose his rights, then it follows that the government can also punish a common bakery employee for not selling his baking services to the gay man who just bought the bakery. By quitting his job, the worker is being a gigantic egoist and ignoring the buyer's right not to be discriminated against for homosexuality.
