Did you seriously just link to a liberal article to tell me what republicans think? :lamo

?

Reading is fundamental

Reading is fundamental

I read your article and it reads like it was written by an outsider which is likely liberal. :shrug: His opinion means nothing to me and I have no reason to consider your use of the article as worthy of respect.

The shooting ever starts in earnest it will take on a life of its own, do not feel all safe and smug in Canada, there are many US cities on the Canadian border and there would be violence spilling over.

Gawd, what in hell are you talking about? This is a Presidential election in the US, right? Or are we talking about Guatemala or Panama or something?
Jesus. How important do you think you are?

We share a border with Guatemala or Panama? Do their main population centers lay directly across our border?

Jesus, it has nothing to do with how important we think we are. It's a matter of geographics.

Maybe I'm too dense but you need to be more specific. How could partisan violence in the US spill over into Canada?

Same way that violence in Mexico has spilled over to the US.

Business owners should have the right to refuse service, but at the same time if their biz gets bad publicity and goes down then they have no one to blame but themselves.

Really? Is that a valid comparison in your view?
Yeesh. We'll have to build a wall and make Donald Trump pay for it.

You don't have the economic leverage to get Trump to pay for a wall.

Did you read the article you posted? He was claiming to know what republicans think and then went forward to correct his own theory on what republicans think. He's not even right, which is what makes it so pathetic. Everyone knows the division dates back many decades, and if you ever even bother to listen to republicans you will notice them complain about things dating all the way back to FDR and the new deal. Do you think somehow they object to union laws, SS, medicare, Keynesianism, progressive taxation, etc, etc, and somehow think everything they hate started with Obama? Yeah, no.

And here is the thing, while the left might be annoyed with the right when it comes to things like abortion laws and wars(like somehow the left doesn't support the same policy on war) the rights annoyance with the left is as deep as the deepest part of the ocean, and as the left continues to take government and the rest of society their way it is causing the right to become even more annoyed with them. The US is not like the UK, Europe, or places like Canada where the right was defeated and just decided to be more like the left, but a place where the right was defeated and refuses to give up. The left has to stop thinking the right will just give up or that somehow they are wrong for standing up for what they believe in. I'm sorry, but telling people they are wrong for disagreeing with you and calling them things like bigots and poor haters is going to do nothing but piss them off more. Arrogance like the left loves to show is a great way to cause problems or make them worse, but I welcome it all because I know the right won't give in and I know that pisses off the left more than anything.

In fact, one of the most enjoyable things is watching the lefts response when I express a view of mine that the left believes should have been defeated fifty years ago. News flash: You're wrong, and I'm not just going to agree with your violation of the right to property and labor because you made it law fifty years ago.

However, the most enjoyable thing is saying something like I oppose public schooling(I do) and watch the left tell me that I believe children should go without an education. You know, because schooling is the same thing as education, and if the government isn't involved omfg children will be retarded. Oh and btw, schooling is a way to get an education.

A legendary fast-food chain is in hot water after refusing to serve Donald Trump supporters.

Shannon Riggs and her cousins were turned away from a Cook Out in Colonial Heights, Virginia, on Friday night, when they showed up in Donald Trump shirts and hats, WTVR reports.

Apparently, when Riggs attempted to order from the window, decked out in Trump apparel, an employee yelled "Hell no! I'm not serving them."

The family's orders were eventually taken, but they say that they never received their food. Eventually Riggs said she canceled her order and the family had their money refunded — but they were not satisfied with the situation.

Those of you who said it was the towtruck driver's right to refuse to tow a Sanders supporter, do you feel the same about this restaurant's employees refusing to serve Trump supporters?

It sounds like the case of the baker and the gay marriage.

So, in Oaxaca, Mexico (way down in the far south of Mexico) there are lots of American Liberals that wear presidential campaign stuff running around during elections?

There aren't lots of U.S. citizens here, but in general you got it right. During Barack Obama's first election, absolutely. Pins, purses, t-shirts. They adored Barack Obama. Like Donald Trump, he hadn't done anything admirable but he was going to. The English Library ordered multiple copies of his fictionalized autobiographies. Second election, less. So far in this cycle the only one I've seen was an old woman with a Sen. Sander's t-shirt but the general election campaign hasn't even started.

I'm sorry, but the level of partisan polarity in the US strikes everyone I know as bizarre. Honestly, it's starting to resemble the sectarian division in Ulster.
God help you all if someone starts the violence domino effect happening.

Somewhere in the bowels of history books there was a society that became so split down the middle and ripped apart by polarization that a civil war ensued. Hard as that is for me to accept, it wouldn't be the strangest thing I ever saw if in fact this happens in this country. I HATE how partisan we've become as a nation.

Couple of things here.

First we don't know really why they were refused service. Unlike other cases (like the bakery incident or tow truck incident) no one outright said "I won't serve you because of X", not from the info in the article anyway. It is all based on assumption.

For all we know the employee may have known them personally or about the family and refused because of personal issues with those people.

Second, from the way the article reads, it was a single employee not multiple employees who refused service to them (whatever the reason). And it seems like they were disciplined right there, possibly even fired or quit.

However, that would bring us to the next point. Had the person been fired or quit or sent home even for refusing service to someone, this would mean the place was now potentially (very likely) short staffed. Which would then explain the delay of an unknown time to get food.

There are a lot of unknowns here. We don't know really why they were denied service. We can reasonably assume it wasn't per some corporate policy since they were given service shortly after the initial refusal, but that doesn't mean it was necessarily due to supporting Trump. We don't know how long they waited. We don't know how much the delay was due to things they were doing, including taking up other employees time to complain or size of their order.

That might be true, but the lgbt and liberal crowd seems often to say otherwise.

Because they think people don't have a right to determine on their own who they wish to associate with or a right to determine on their own who gets their labor and property, which is weird since the first amendment says people do in fact have a right to association, the thirteen amendment makes it clear people do have a right to their own labor, and several amendments go over the right to property. Then again, these are the same people that think people don't have a right to bear arms even if the second amendment says they do flat out.

I don't know about everyone else, but I welcome it. People standing up for what they believe in and not going along to get along means people are willing to do what they feel is right and stand up for themselves. In fact, I think if republicans did that several decades ago we wouldn't be dealing with a left that has reading problems when it comes to the constitution, and is for all intents and purposes an out of control train. When someone says "shall not be infringed" they don't mean you can infringe it a little bit or in times when you personally think it is acceptable, but that you can't ****ing infringe it. Period. If they meant to say you can infringe it in situations of clear and present danger they would have ****ing said it instead of saying you can't infringe it at all. Some people either can't read the English language or they're ****ing liars.

That depends on local law. While they indeed have natural rights to refuse service, when they opened their business they may have agreed to not discriminate in order to receive local services. Generally itll sort itself out. If the business gets a bad rep, itll go out of business. Im sure someone else would be happy to have their business instead.

What is Democratic Socialism? Q & A - Democratic Socialists of America

Unless he doesn't really support the label he chose for him everything said on the first link applies to him and he believes in the model talked about in the second link.

Sadly, theyll come back with how the majority voted to take your stuff, so its ok.

The baker made their own decision, and have to deal with the repercussions.

They are the cause of their own problems and need to stop whining about it.

I disagree. The gay couples who start these rows could have EASILY found another baker or caterer or florist to serve their needs. But they didn't. They sued in order to intimidate and bankrupt the business who has the temerity to abide by their religious beliefs. With the backing of the US government, no less. This wasn't about service or goods...it was about punishing people who think gays are 'sinners'. Anyone who looks down on gays as weird or strange are immediately labeled as bigot, or ignorant and ridiculed for their closely held beliefs.

Now, I have said countless times that if you open your door to the public, that means ALL the public. That's the law. I think the law is wrong, but there it is. However, to say these people caused their own problems by adhering to there beliefs is like blaming the Jews for the holocaust.

Socialists are against private property in the means of production. If she is going to run around supporting a democratic socialist she either supports that position or needs to learn of it real quick.

Someone may support socialist policies for one industry but not another. Had Sanders ever stated he support a government takeover of the towing industry?
