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

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.

Your break down has a small flaw - neither Bernie nor any supporter I've seen have ever suggested that they want government to do "everything" for them.

It's what a 3rd grader might think if he hadn't ever listened to Bernie and was repeating what he hears on right wing radio like a lemming, so good job on your straw man!

Prove it.

Prove that socialists want government to do everything? That's what socialism is.

Any businessman who willfully turns away business due to a bumper sticker...isn't what I would call a competent businessman.

Considering he has an operating business that kind of contradicts your assessment, does it not?

I'll say this for him: he does a great job representing the type of 'man' who votes for Trump.

It might have been meant as humor, but I have seen enough of your posts to know that you are being the typical shallow minded person who continues to compartmentalize entire groups of people by the actions of a few.

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.

Can't it be both?

No, its true. Sanders supporters want the state to take care of them from cradle to grave. Granted, most of his support is from the young and stupid, but that is where most socialist support comes from.

I see you can't prove it. I understand.

No they don't.

And the truck driver is an idiot.



WWJD? Leave a woman stranded on the side of the road, of course!

Jesus wasn't hiring out his services. This wasn't a case of the good Samaritan gone bad.

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.

exactly

we still do have some rights left in this country

and the right to association is one of them

as long as i dont discriminate based upon certain classes, i can tell a customer to go fly a kite....i dont want their business

and i have done so 3 times in my career

it just wasnt worth the headaches

that is all this was....he made the choice not to do business with her....

that is all....nothing else

Sure it can, but this wasn't one of those things. She wanted to hire his services, he refused to hire out to her. The reasons he chose to do so were not at all legally actionable and he was well within his rights to do so.

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.' 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.

I don't believe I've used the term "socialist", but it is the term Sanders applies to himself: What does Sanders mean by ‘democratic socialism’? | TheHill

Ultimately, socialism means increasing taxation on makers to provide for takers. Hence, free college, free healthcare, and whatever else BS has been peddling.

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

Yes they do and no hes not, you are. See how easy that was

OK, so quote Bernie saying anything like what you suggest he and his followers believe. You know you can't, so I'm not sure why you're making stuff up you know you can't support.

You speak for Jesus now?

Well, I'm surprised god would come to him and tell him to leave a stranded woman on the side of the road, but he says it happened so that must be what god wanted. Or he's an idiot. Tough call.

Because the gov isn't going to get her a tow. She can hopefully realize that our country runs on the backs of private citizens and businesses. It's not really that difficult to understand.

But the private business outright refused her service - not because she couldn't pay or because she was difficult or that she was insulting - but simply because of her political alignment.

But what if my answer is "no?" :shrug:

I was just going to post this! This is despicable, and he may say he's a Christian but he sure doesn't act like it. What an asshole.

So what's your excuse for a pottymouth?

And when the state of Arizona passed 1070 a number of businesses refused to do business with the private businesses within state. Where was your stance then?

Hey, it's the idiot tow truck driver who claims god wanted him to leave her stranded. I'm just the messenger, and brought it up because I'm a bit surprised god, if he's interested in our business dealings at all, would make a rare personal appearance to tell someone to leave a disabled woman stranded. Maybe he's really interested in maximizing profit margins for the guy!

Well, he's not just a businessman, he's also a person with principles. Expecting businessmen to just be concerned about maximizing profit without regard to principle is asking more than any job is worth.

Why deny it? You want the state to take care of your every need. Just admit it.

Well, I'm surprised god would come to him and tell him to leave a stranded woman on the side of the road, but he says it happened so that must be what god wanted. Or he's an idiot. Tough call.

Arent you an atheist?

Nobody is claiming otherwise. That doesn't mean he isn't an asshole for refusing.

Right, you've got a 3rd grader's understanding of Bernie's political positions. Thanks for confirming it!

The same 3rd grader would believe libertarians want to disband all government, and he'd be just as wrong.

Liberals always denounce the profit motive until now. Could it be that two faced, hypocritical leftists only approve of political activism when they are the ones engaging in it? So it would seem.
