Just saw Gary Johnson and William weld on the Stossel show. The question was should a bakery be forced to sell their product to a gay couple? Johnson's answer was insane. He said yes, but the baker does not have to decorate the cake.....Stossel on Fox Business Channel, August 5.

    As I have mentioned, if Trump is elected, I doubt he can/will stop the slide into collectivism, but he will be an interesting and entertaining speed-bump on that slide.......

    Johnson is less than perfect. But he's a lot better than the big two; and Hillary is going to take my state in a landslide anyway.

    To join the LP, one must agree that initiating the use of force is wrong. In the “Libertarian Debate” on Stossel, McAfee got the message and nailed Johnson. Johnson sounds more like a neocon than Libertarian to me.

    To me, this election is not Trump v Hillary because there are too many other things at stake.

    The Supreme Court, for example, Hillary regards Ruth Bader Ginsburg as her model Supreme Court justice, and I think Ginsburg is one of the worse ever appointed. Trump's nominees (he named 11) are all approved by the Cato Institute, a think tank to which I give high respect.

    This same thing will happen down the line of regulatory agencies such as the EPA, Labor Board, etc., all of which have been strangling business even more than taxes have.

    As for the defense of the United States, Peace through Strength, the Eisenhower policy, will be the Trump policy. I expect Trump will, like Ike, Nixon, and Reagan negotiate with enemies and adversaries from a position of strength. But negotiate. Hopefully Trump will make Russian an ally to go after ISIS and America's endless wars will come to an end.

    Where Clinton will continue all of the policies that produced the unacceptable present, Trump will get rid of as much of the Establishment (Dems and GOP) as possible and change Washington as it has not been changed since Ronald Reagan rode in from the West.

    Therefore, I think we need rally around Trump.

    Or...might we might say...to everyone...no more cake. It's kind of a waist anyway.

    Oh...and take your own pictures and pick your own flowers too!

    I can see it now...only gay bakers, photographers and florist everywhere...hell, we might do away with the "wedding" altogether!

    I want to agree that a bakery should have the right to serve whomever they choose. And ( although I'm not religiously observent) I find it outrageous that small business owners are being forced to do what I view are violations of religious freedom. But how does this differ from not serving blacks at the lunch counter or making blacks sit at the back of the bus ?

    But the current top tier libtard justice system sides with radical gays out to make examples by destroying the livelihoods and lives of Christian bakers for not selling them the entire wedding cake package.

    That comment was made several months ago. It is so likely he made a blooper in his thinking, and said the wrong thing. What I find disgusting is that anyone from this community could find fault with that after seeing the all the shit fly through the rest of the campaigns. Gary Johnson is so very much the best choice out of all candidates this year, needs your support.

    I agree with the expressed freedom of your reasoning.
    And today I picked up on another reason not to vote for Johnson. Libertarian my eye!

    I heard him make the same comment at the libertarian debate. He's wrong. He had another way out of that. That was to say, no, the gov't can't force him to make cake, but it wouldn't be smart business move. No one has a right to cake. His point was, what if a utility company could deny someone electric service. Well, that's different because you can't go elsewhere for service.
    I don't agree with Gary on everything, but I agree with him more than I do the other available options.

    I would also add this.

    The free market will dictate the success of this bakery....if people decide not to patronize the bakery for their stand they go out of business...problem solved. if people support the bakery like they have Chik-Fil-A again people have spoken problem solved. Or just go bake your own damn cake and shut up.

    I always knew Johnson, was a tool. Apparently this libertarian does not comprehend the principal of FREEDOM.

    If his bakery is force to service someone or something against his principals or desired, Johnson has just promoted slavery. Which is the forcing of one group or person to act or perform actions for another group.

    I wonder what the media would say in response if either Trump or Hitlery said the same thing that Johnson said.
    My guess: media would ignore the subject because the topic only divides people who think about it and most people don't take the time.
    Serious consideration of real issues is purposely missing from POTUS elections, because the media concentrate on what divides the voters instead of solutions to impending financial and ethical destruction of America.

    One might do what they will but by no means do we need to endorse, encourage or participate in this behavior...it sets the wrong example for others and may even tempt one that may be confused into that behavior.
    So here is your cake, without names or figures...you can get those down the street.
    Problem solved.

    I didn't hear the qualifier of "under current law," Nevertheless, to quote Hipshot Percussion, "Just because it's the law, don't make it right."
