Nice source there, Bookie.
One point it glosses over is the fact they are also running a business--a chapel--performing ceremonies. It is hardly a church.
I know, it's a tough time for bigots like you, times are a changing and all that.

The Hitching Post is licensed as a for profit business, not a non-profit church.
That's an important detail when discussing whether or not the state has the right to compel them to adhere to anti-discrimination statutes.
Very important.

After watching HBO's VICE: Season 2 episode 6 I can safely say that the knight in shining armor for the right has inadvertently (and with full knowledge and intent to do so) leaked/stolen/squeezed (taxation) billions of dollars a year from America for the last 30 years....
BASED ON THIS, I RIDICULE THE RIGHT

yeah.... ?
Bad for America, huh?
How bad is this picture looking so far?

Cannabis Cash: How Much Money Could Your State Make From Marijuana Legalization?
by Divya Raghavan on September 22, 2014 | posted in Cities, Economics
...
How much has Colorado made since legalizing marijuana? In the first six months of this year, the state collected $25,307,067 in taxes on the sales of marijuana. By June 2015, Colorado expects to collect up to $70 million—not very far off from our estimate of $78,157,904. Take a look at the chart to see how much each state could collect per year in sales taxes if the recreational and medical use of marijuana was made legal. Interested in future NerdWallet studies?

Oh, I see... that's right... Nancy was big on the drugs... didn't she also make an astrological reader kind of famous for taking advice from her... instead of using her brain.
Yes... we can leave it up to the right to trample on our rights as humans in the United States.

When will we start to see the actions of the right to be what they are... Limiting to human progress

That proves too much. I doubt that a law requiring a for-profit newspaper to publish any advertisement submitted with payment would pass Constituttional muster under the First Amendment, any more than the Couer D'Alene ordinance and threatened enforcement will. Explicit First Amendment freedoms trump the general ability of government to regulate business.
More importantly, the Constitution does not disappear when one engages in activity for pay. I doubt that any serious Constitutional scholar would find a law Constitutional that says, for example, that no practicing Muslim can practice medicine, sell cars, or engage in any other "public accommmodation." While too many on the far right and far left think that the First Amendment applies only to those with whom they agree, the Constitutional jusirsprudence still says otherwise.

Pew study finds Rush Limbaugh least trustworthy news source
By Aaron Sharockman on Tuesday, October 21st, 2014 at 12:08 p.m.
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2014/oct/21/pew-study-finds-rush-limbaugh-least-trustworthy-ne/
"PunditFact is tracking the accuracy of claims made on the five major networks using our network scorecards. By that measure, 61 percent of the claims fact-checked on Fox News have been rated Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire, the most among any of the major networks."
A Republican is an unreliable source of facts?
SHOCKING!

That Fox is full of sh#t is no surprise. You would have to have been living in a hole to not know that "fair and balanced" really means "lies."
That the rest of the major networks are only somewhat better is truly frightening. The best, CNN, is giving false info 22% of the time... Wow. My take away from this is that getting "accurate" information these days is a time consuming and difficult process, and none of the major media outlets are reliable.
As for the rest:
• 45 percent of the claims made on NBC and MSNBC rate Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire;
• 38 percent of the claims made on CBS rate Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire;
• 36 percent of the claims made on ABC rate Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire;
• 22 percent of the claims made on CNN rate Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire.

Interesting reading that shows repubs as corrupt.. but you all know that
The Best Investigative Reporting on Campaign Finance Since 2012
The 2012 elections shattered spending records, with outside groups such as super PACs, nonprofits, unions and corporations plowing an estimated $1.3 billion into federal campaigns. With this year's elections just two weeks away, we've rounded up some of the best investigative reporting on campaign finance. The list includes stories that provide fresh insight into what happened in 2012 and ones that get inside who's shelling out on campaigns this cycle. In addition, we've spotlighted a couple of ProPublica's stories on the subject.
John Swallow (born November 10, 1962) is a former Attorney General of Utah.[1] Just prior, he served as Chief Deputy Attorney General overseeing civil litigation. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Swallow has been a lawyer since 1990 and was a member of the Utah State House of Representatives from 1996-2002.
 So, he should know better... right?
A Campaign Inquiry in Utah Is the Watchdog's Worst Case, The New York Times, March 2014
John Swallow used to work as a lobbyist for a Utah payday-lending company. So when he decided to run for state attorney general, he turned to payday lenders to help finance his campaign. But Swallow was wary of the industry's sketchy reputation, Times reporter Nick Confessore wrote. "The solution: Hide the payday money behind a string of PACs and nonprofits, making it difficult to trace donations from payday lenders to Mr. Swallow's campaign." Swallow's tactics eventually triggered investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and the state, and Swallow resigned less than a year after his election.
Tea Party PACs Reap Money for Midterms But Spend Little on Candidates, The Washington Post, April 2014
Cutting wasteful government spending is a core tenet of the Tea Party movement. A Washington Post analysis, however, "found that some of the top national tea party groups engaged in this year's midterm elections have put just a tiny fraction of their money directly into boosting the candidates they've endorsed," the Post's Matea Gold wrote. The Senate Conservatives Fund, for instance, "paid a luxury interior design firm more than $52,000 last year to paint and decorate its Capitol Hill townhouse office."
This is only two of the stories

remove nose, spite face:
"Norman L. Reimer, executive director of the lawyers group, acknowledged that the Koch name could alienate left-leaning groups, but said the right to counsel was an issue without a partisan bent."
evuhl kochs strike again; this time they're providing good lawyers to poor people...what evuhl will they do next? build another hospital?
i'm sure this will prompt another rant by harry...maybe even eric will investigate
