Refusing service because of political party.

[johan]

For clarification, am I smelling the hint of "reverse racism"? I ask because I warn you, that won't wash as an argument with me.

The GOP and business owners in general defend the old line, "right to refuse service for any reason".

Am I willing per say, for example, if I owned a bar and a drunk black or Hispanic or Asian was disruptive? Yes. But that does not address what we are seeing now as far as political scapegoating. I think it is wrong to try to make that false equation.

The difference is I wouldn't be kicking them out based on race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation.


Yes, I will kick your ass out of that same bar, even if you are not drunk, if you come in with KKK symbols or Nazi symbols. Those vile icons only belong in history books and museums as a reminder of what not to do to your fellow human being.

So just for clarification then, you're saying you feel the same I do on the subject?

Sexual preference should be a protected class in all of the states. It's not something someone can control. I would say, go ahead and refuse anyone you want. It's not hard to find other services, but it's been shown that slippery slope leads to segregation. I'll pass.

I think everyone should be on the list.... why be predjudice.

So let say I've got a restaurant. Let's also say I've got a wife. Let's say that one day while I was at work, a guy broke into my house and raped my wife and infected her with HIV. He was caught and arrested, and found guilty at trial. He appeals and his lawyer manages to find some small technicality that the prosecutor screwed up on so the verdict is over turned and he's a free man. 

Next day he walk into the restaurant and wants me to cook for him. Judge me all you want but no way am I serving that piece of shit anything.
