Subjects of the State
By
Tammy Derouin
The Supreme Court's ruling this
past week, to uphold the rights of an individual was a victory for
all Americans. The Court upheld that an individual, in this case a
baker, could not be forced to produce a product which would
compromise his personal beliefs. The outcome, based on our freedoms
as stated in the Constitution, was expected. However, in recent
years, our nation has taken a turn toward the injustice of social
justice, so there was reason for concern.
If we are to remain free, individuals must maintain their personal rights and freedoms. To force an individual to do something against their core values and beliefs is not freedom. Forcing someone to comply out of fear of consequences or punishing those who refuse to comply, is tyranny. Are we individuals who value freedom or are we going to allow ourselves to become subjects of the State? Do we believe in freedom and liberty or enslavement and tyranny?
In this particular case, and I would guess in most cases, service was not denied. The baker did not refuse service. He refused to decorate a cake in a way which would go against his personal beliefs. He did not say he would not sell the individuals a cake. There is a difference......
