Womp Womp.

But they are.

Based on what? I didn't know about her until she took the position.

That's exactly it. Why should the left stoop down to the far right's level?

I was just saying it to prove a point. If it knew how ****ty she is in person without politics, I'd still justify the restaurants decision. But yes, politics is involved. But that's not my point.

I imagine discriminating on the basis of political affiliation would be covered under the law, but if not then I'd say it should be. Again, I've not seen any evidence that the restaurant refuses service to conservatives, just this conservative. If someone wanted to refuse Bernie Sanders service on the basis of beating his wife or kicking puppies then I wouldn't care.

Bat and I agree on something? This is new ground.

Did the coverage of that story make you think that your ideology was under attack to the point where you would want to hide it?

That's a misnomer then because they were clearly basing their decision on her political career.

^I don't agree at all. I believe they refused her because she's a ****ty person in politics. Not because she's a conservative specifically.

I never said it was specifically because she was a conservative.

But you're saying it has to do with politics which I don't think had any part in their decision. It's just the fact that she's in politics that it's creating this controversy.
