Refusing service because of political party.

[vorlon13 pid='1780880' dateline='1529956352']Considering the aggravation the Log Cabin Republicans cause for the rest of the conservatives, I would really be put out if they were discriminated against in this way.


I'm also not sure Sarah Sanders is a net positive for Trumply.  I'm thinking of the damage Westboro has done to Christianity, and Trumply's slash and burn of conservativism and Sarah's transparent waffling for him isn't all that convincing.

By her lights separating kids from their parents is biblical.  Who knew?

While what the owner did isn't illegal and political affiliation isn't (and shouldn't be) a protected status... I think it's pretty petty and idiotic to boot her out like that.  It helps nobody and will only cause a shitstorm from one side or another.  If Sanders wasn't causing a disturbance or being rude to the staff, etc, then just let her eat her meal.

Decent treatment for indecent people would be the decent thing to do.

Anyone who reads the Bible knows that it's Yahweh approved to enslave foreigners for life if they come to your country.

Leviticus 25:45-46 (NCV) = "45 Also you may buy as slaves children from the families of foreigners living in your land. These child slaves will belong to you, 46 and you may even pass them on to your children after you die; you can make them slaves forever. But you must not rule cruelly over your own people, the Israelites."

Apparently you missed the part where I said, that I don't agree with this type of discrimination and bigotry of any group.

Sarah Huckabee is not a 'group'. She was denied service for what she in particular has said and done.

I'm not sure it's strategically sound in the long run, but it's legal and Red Hen was within their rights.

It's not like Huckabee doesn't have a choice about her televised behavior. I get it if she thinks the pay is good enough to do what she does, or even if she's following her heart, but there are consequences to your actions as a public figure, especially if you're pushing to find out where the limits of civil discourse are. Apparently justifying a policy of separating children from their parents who are legally seeking asylum goes past the limits for a lot of people.

However, the political ramifications of this sort of action may include motivating more of the Trump base to show up on election day, and could swing some elections in the favor of the Republicans, which detracts from the demotivating effect the separation policy was having on some of the less committed supporters.

And given the business Red Hen is doing now, I doubt this will be the last similar incident.

I don't agree with it when it is about the person either. It's just intolerance for people who have different views from your own.  I agree, that this is a slippery slope, and bad, if held consistently.

Standing up bigotry is not intolerance

I don't read minds, it's helpful if you speak in full sentences and thoughts.

Did you mean standing up to bigotry is not intolerence?   (I don't know why I didn't realize it was just missing the one word).

How was Sarah being a bigot in this case?   Why would you call her a bigot anyway?   It seems like a lot of people use that word inappropriately and often it seems, because they are in fact being bigoted.

I wouldn't be eating at that restaurant.
I understand that the owners are within their rights to refuse service but they'd already served entrees and to eject a person at that point is just unprofessional.

Anyone who tries to deport one of Brewer's furry kids will have me and my furry kids to answer to.

I had forgotten that the Punker Brewster identified as a Republican.  He's slacking; he needs to step up his game by every once in a while saying some silly Republican thing to remind us of his affiliation.

Have you listened to her talk ? 

And of course you would try and pull the "no your the bigots ploy " and it's just that

Sorry, but you didn't really give me any facts, information, or reasoning to reply to.  And discrimination based on not agreeing with their point of view would fit the definition of bigotry.
