    I wouldn't serve HuckDers because I can't stand her. She is a liar and a demagogue and I can't handle her crooked eyes.

    Nope sure isn't, but there is this small thing called freedom of religion that kinda kills your entire point here.

    Currently, in the US, there are about 12 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. Demonizing everyone in either party for the actions of a few is silly.

    E,g., If one needs to pretend this jamoke is representative of all Trump nuts, he can, but he would be incorrect:

    [​IMG]
    The FBI says Chain made 14 calls to the Globe in August after the newspaper called on other news outlets
    to take a public stand against Trump for routinely calling media the "enemy of the people."
    Man charged with threatening to kill Boston Globe employees had 20 guns in home, prosecutors say

    In one such phone call, according to the documents, Chain said, "You're the enemy of the people, and we're going to kill every f---ing one of you.
    Hey, why don't you call the F, why don't you call Mueller, maybe he can help you out buddy. ... I'm going to shoot you in the f---ing head later today, at 4 o'clock."
    “I would like to make one statement.
    America was saved when Donald J. Trump was elected president!”

    Chain told reporters on his way out of court.

    No, it doesn't. It sharpens my point. If you believe the baker doesn't have to bake the cake, and you support freedom of association then you also must agree that it's fair game for the chicken shop to refuse HuckDers lunch.

    Also, I do not think rights work the way you want to interpret them. Your rights end as soon as they infringe on my rights. Your right to own a gun ends when you try to kill someone, for example.

    Your right to freedom ends when you harm someone else.

    Your right to freedom of religion ends when that religious belief harms the rights to freedom and privacy of another.

    There is no shame in these people! We should go to their homes and harass them in the same manner!

    News is, by definition, the relating of exceptions to the ordinary, yet some delude themselves into believing it is portraying typical behavior.

    Perhaps, for those confused folks, all news should be accompanied by a disclaimer:

    "The events you are about to see portrayed are specific, isolated, and are reported here because they are atypical."

    Very true....And the Sanders gathering politely left the establishment....What's not ok, is when the owner of said establishment after asking them to leave, then forms a group to follow them and continue to harass them.

    I think you are the one that is confused. These situations are not identical. The baker did not refuse to bake a cake, in fact he offered anything in the case. His objection was on the grounds of decorating a cake in an unethical (as he and his religion see it) manner. To be clear, I don't agree with him but do feel that he should not be forced to create something that he deems unethical. That is not the same as serving someone you disagree with no matter how you want to spin it.

    Consider this. Does Ted Cruz have a right to not be heckled? Shouted at? While it may be rude or uncalled for, certainly there is a bit of karma going on considering his treatment of Americans.

    You appear to be a very confused man/woman/alphabet but I await your posting of a link showing a prominent Democrat being driven from a restaurant by ANYBODY.
    BTW,
    Your reference to NAZIS in your post is unnecessary makes you look very small.

    And do you think you have the right to intimidate and harras a fine woman just because she is married to a politician you don't like? I bet you that those idiots you support and try to defend would do exactly the same even if Cruz and his wife went out with their children. They would still agressively harras them. The so-called progressives have no consideration for women and children when it comes to the politics. The end justifies the means. Shameless.

    You are the confused one. I did not say that any prominent Democrat was driven from a restaurant why do you ask?

    I responded to a reference to NAZIS in a post. So does the person who had NAZI in their post considered "small" by you?

    Sure it is. Religious rights, as I said, don't extend to infringe on the rights of others. Society needs to be reasonable about this. some religions call for sacrificing animals and people. Do you think that's acceptable?

    As far as huckders is concerned, I see no problem with them choosing not to serve her. I wouldn't serve her myself, if I owned a business.

    They have more in common with each other than their differences.
