Denying service. How old-fashioned.

Interesting how the LGBT expect service everywhere and are fully supported by the Libs yet this behaviour against Cons is ok with them.... hypocrites.

I get the feeling that the "bake the cake" crowd won't be too quick in condemning this place.

And the converse is true as well. Those that think it is okay to deny service to LGBTQ folk shouldn't be whining over denying service to SH-S due to moral conviction either.

While I personally believe in being more gracious than refusing service even to someone with an odious political ideology, it's not at all comparable to discrimination based on sexual orientation. Political affiliation is not an immutable characteristic.

Was Ms. Sanders born as the mouthpiece for a crude, belligerent, divisive man or did she choose that?

Heh... Cons. How fitting.

It's not conservatives people are against and the Trump administration does not represent conservatism. They represent Trump.

It's Trump who people don't like.

What if you consider someone to be a fascist or racist?

You baked your cake, now you gotta eat it.

The owner of the restaurant declined to serve Ms. Sanders based on behavior the owner found morally reprehensible and providing services would have compromised the owners sincerely held religious beliefs. You have championed the rights of business owners to refuse service to customers but now you decry the business owners rights. If you want to call someone a hypocrite then i suggest you start with the person in the mirror.

Nope you don't seem to understand that those two things are not the same and comparing them is not equitable. So no hypocrisy here at all.

are you suggesting that denying service to individuals based on morally offensive behavior is wrong?

It would appear that she didn't get her nature of being agreeable in discussion with people that she disagrees with from her father:

'Bigotry. On the menu at The Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington VA. Or you can ask for the 'Hate Plate'. And appetizers are 'small plates for small minds'' he tweeted on Saturday.

While I'm not a big fan of Ms. Sanders, I don't think it appropriate that she be put out of a restaurant for her job. However, I do allow that everyone has the potential to act differently in circumstances. Not everyone would have made a reference to someone who is disabled by putting their hands up like dog's paws and jerking them around to give the impression that they were mocking said handicapped person. That's just the way that our grand and glorious leader decided to do it and then give Ms. Sanders instruction to make it look like it was no big deal.

Maybe the restaurant manager has a disabled child and took a more personal issue with the behavior. Or any number of other things that our grand and glorious leader has done that Ms. Sanders has done her best to defend. It could be that the restaurant manager is looking at higher food costs because of the billions of dollars in tariffs that are now being pushed back and forth that Ms. Sanders also defends on the president's side.

Some people don't compartmentalize 'work' from 'personal moral conviction'. Like the business that didn't want to provide a wedding cake for a gay wedding.

God bless,

lol yep it's the war of the moral convictions, and of being tolerate of them! No one is consistent! No one I tell you!

Sanders will survive. She isn't whining, and its not against the law to show contempt towards the other side of the aisle. It's fashionable in fact! It's a great example of Love Trumps Hate! Woo hoo!

If I was a member of the Trump administration, I'd be eating at home the next two years anyway.

I still would probably give them service, just find some way to "turn the other cheek" in the process.

Of course Ms. Sanders should be careful eating Mexican food as I don't think her politics reconciles at all with receiving good service from a restaurant that is likely staffed with people who are less than sympathetic to being told that some of them perhaps might not be a rapist. As South Park has taught us, it's always good not to offend people who make your dinner. Your salsa or enchiladas could have a little something extra in there gratis.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. There's some Bible wisdom for you, and I do not mean this in the least bit threatening. But what I do mean is that liberals really do not understand that they are pushing much too far. The whirlwind will be political, but it will be massive.

I'm not offended or even angry. I'm discouraged by this and even sad. We're teetering on the precipice of a place most of us do not want to go. Lots of people either seem to not notice it or do not care.

So be it then. Maranatha.

Not everybody on the left is into tribalism. Some of us are left-libertarian and can separate out the personal and political. Not every bit of human life must be a political statement.

What does denying someone service- for any reason- do for you? Let's start with that, because it seems to me that both a baker who doesn't want to cater an event they disagree with, and someone who doesn't want to serve a member of the Trump administration, are seeking to avoid doing business with someone (or an event) they disagree with. What makes the one OK, and the other, not?
