Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

well, on the surface he's just a douche-bag for refusing service, but considering the sanders supporter doesn't believe in people having jobs or private enterprise at all, it makes sense.

Confronting liberals with the consequences of their own ideological idiocy seems to be a crime, I guess

i guess inconveniencing a liberal is against the law in their books

His enemy? LOL.

My God you Cons get nuttier and scarier every year. Obama winning TWICE has made you guys 'craaaaaazy'..

I'm not a con, but I do align with them on several issues. And yes, "enemy" is the proper term. An enemy wants to destroy your way of life, marginalize your worldview, and make you powerless. Why in the world would anyone do anything that remotely helps them?

He better hope his doctor is not a die hard Sanders supporter.

She supports a socialist. Socialists take the property of others for their own use. Do you not know this?

You don't know what she wants or doesn't want, except that she wanted and needed a tow. She was not asking govt. to tow her or to pay for it.

Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

Why? The tow truck driver was simply shoving the drivers covetous ideology right back at her. Sanders supporters want everything handed to them for free by the state. Perhaps free towing is something Sanders can add to his stump speeches.

No they don't.

And the truck driver is an idiot.

Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

Why would he lose? Anyone can refuse service to anyone, as long as it's not for reasons that are protected, such as age, sex, race, disability. The reason he refused service was her politics, which is not a protected class, so unless you want to maintain that her politics are a disability (a strong case could be made), there's really no basis. Of course, a jury could decide anything for any reason, but there doesn't appear to be any real merit.

In that case, how about putting an extra "Iraq Tax" on every Republican of record? According to you that's not discrimination.

Come to think of it, she could have been completely nonpartisan and was simply driving a friend's car. This is a "fail" for the Trumpeteer on every level.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act

The Federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), is part of the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA). EMTALA.com offers a summary of its provisions. The Act applies to all hospitals in the United States and its territories. It sets out the laws governing facilities that provide emergency medical care.

The EMTALA requires hospital E.R. staff to provide medical treatment to all people with real emergency medical conditions, regardless of the person's ability to pay (or provide medical insurance). Illegal denial of treatment may subject the medical provider to disciplinary action.

Under EMTALA, an emergency medical condition is defined as:

...one that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain, psychiatric disturbance, and/or symptoms of substance abuse) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in the following:
placing the health of the individual (or unborn child) in serious jeopardy

the serious impairment of a bodily function

the serious dysfunction of any bodily function or part

the inadequate time to effect a safe transfer of a pregnant woman to another hospital before delivery, or, that the transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety of the woman or unborn child."

Medical Treatment Denial and Malpractice Lawsuits

that doctor would be going to jail......

Thank you captain. The issue is over her support for Sanders and what it is a Sanders supporter supports. Let me break this down since it seems to have sailed over the heads of the liberals here (how shocking). Sanders and his supports want government to do everything for them. A Sanders supporter needed a tow and the tow driver said call the government. It is irony and humor all rolled into one.

Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

Agreed. It actually is funny and hopefully it serves as an object lesson for the Bernie supporter. If she wants government to do everything for her then she can have them pick her up.

Right, Bernie and his supporters want government to do "everything" for them. Sort of like right wingers want government to do nothing for them and want the poor and sick and old to die on the side of the road for lack of food, shelter or medical care. Like that.

Or perhaps she was kidnapped by aliens and they loaded her car up with Sanders props as some galactic gag. Its not a fail, its a leftist getting what they deserve. (which is why leftists are so angry)

I would have no problem with that. Could add an additional social security, medicare, medicaid, and ACA tax for every democrat on record as well. This last is especially pertinent, since not one republican voted for the ACA, whereas dozens of democrats, including Hillary Clinton, voted for the Iraq war.

I AM a con and this way of thinking boggles my mind. Maybe it's the difference in our cultures but I cannot see refusing to help someone in need because they vote a different way than I do. I don't look upon people of a different political persuasion as 'the enemy', they are just people with a different view of what they want govt to be.

Yeah, you sound like a typical Republican who's wearing Libertarian clothes. And I know you are a Con because you have no idea how to use the word Socialist, or what socialism is. It's no big big deal, no Con knows. IDK why but I've never met a Con who knows the meaning of the words socialism, communism, or fascist. They always use those word wrong. Whatever.

Anyway Sanders is the enemy who wants to 'destroy the ones way way of life'? And make him, or you 'powerless.' Hell of a fellow American you, and this tow truck driver is huh? Screw her, someone in need because of her politics?

No use going on with this discussion. You are exaggerating to the nth degree not only the importance or politics, but in this case Sanders politics in general.

I'm done here. have a nice day.

Then she should pick her friends better.

Let's say someone had a white power sticker on their car, or KKK sticker, or a confederate flag. Would you think a tow truck driver with polar opposite political beliefs would be justified in refusing service? If yes, then you necessarily have to support this particular tow truck driver, based on the same principle even if you disagree with the sides. If no, then apparently you are of the opinion that the "right to shop" (or receive service) trumps all other rights.

Because this isn't a case of "helping someone in need". This is a case of her trying to hire him to perform a service.
