1. And, by Fascists, I mean every collectivist, anti-American doctrine that puts government above the individualism on which America was founded.
That would include Fascists, Nazis, Progressives, Socialists, Liberals and Communists.
Of course that includes Democrats and Obamunists.

"Christian bakers fined $135,000 for refusing to make wedding cake for lesbians
The owners of a mom and pop bakery have just learned there is a significant price to pay for following their religious beliefs.
Aaron and Melissa Klein, the owners of Sweet Cakes By Melissa, have been ordered to pay $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple after they refused to bake them a wedding cake in 2013.
The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) awarded $60,000 to Laurel Bowman-Cryer and $75,000 in damages to Rachel Bowman-Cryer for āemotional suffering.ā
According to the BOLI, the lesbian couple suffered great angst... āfelt depressed and questioned whether there was something inherently wrong with the sexual orientation she was born with.ā They said she had ādifficulty controlling her emotions and cried a lot.ā

And this:
"Barronelle Stutzman is a florist who employs gay people and serves gay clients. In fact, the gay couple at the center of this fight were long-time customers. But she refused to provide flowers for their wedding because she believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
...the ACLU sued on behalf of the couple and the Washington State attorney general filed a consumer protection lawsuit against her....
But a superior court judge is now ruled against her .... now the same-sex couple and the state are allowed to sue her for personal assets like her house and bank account....Stutzman, says the attorney general is using the full power of his office to personally and professionally destroy her.

"āA Win for Freedomā: Colorado Drops Second Case Against Christian Baker
Colorado baker Jack Phillips is 2-0 now after state officials dropped their second attempt to coerce him into baking products that violate his beliefs.
āI have and will always serve everyone who comes into my shop; I simply canāt celebrate events or express messages that conflict with my religious beliefs,ā Phillips said in a statement Tuesday.
āToday is a win for freedom,ā he added. āIām very grateful and looking forward to serving my customers as I always have: with love and respect.ā
On the same day Phillips won a 7-2 decision in the U.S. Supreme Court, June 26, that he did not have to bake and design a cake for a same-sex wedding, a lawyer asked Masterpiece Cakeshop to bake a gender transition cake that was pink on the inside and blue on the outside.
The Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which had previously targeted Phillips for fines regarding the same-sex wedding cake, again found probable cause that state law required him to bake and design the gender-transition cake.
This concludes the stateās six-and-half years of hostility toward Phillipsā Christian beliefs,"
