Right! 60 bucks for a chicken dinner for two! I could make that at home for that amount for twenty people! Oh, right...they call it “coq au vin” which translated means “chicken stew with a cup of sherry thrown in!” And at home, I wouldn’t have to worry about how many STDs the chef had, and if he was picking hos nose while cooking it!

It’s “Singing Earth Produce: Rancho Calixto,” and Spanish is spoken there. I don’t know about their immigration status.

Her husband is a professor at VMI

In effect, the restaurant is a hobby subsidized by VMI tuition.

If this is adjudicated and the court buys this as a valid defense, the precedent will be earth shattering.

Good point. So far I have not located the original source for that quote from #41.

I should not have included it in my post.

she has the right to refuse service

Which she should have done before admitting them. Once they are seated, and food and drink forthcoming I think you can argue that a contract is in place - offer and acceptance - and you cannot just rescind the contract and boot someone out mid-meal for the helluvit.

If she wants to protest Trump, she should not pay her taxes rather than kick out customers.

Remember that the next time a wedding caterer or photographer is hung out to dry for doing the same thing

Of course, you realize this woman's decision had nothing to do with her religious convictions.

Same here, although I am not a business and my home is not public. Kicked out a pharmacy technician last week because she dispenses Plan B.

“She knew, she said, that her restaurant and its half-dozen servers and cooks had managed to stay in business for 10 years by keeping politics off the menu.”

If the owner truly believe her statement, there was only one possible course of action. Serve the paying customer just as she would serve any other customer. Keeping politics off the table means not discriminating based on politics.

Sanders was a paying customer who was not engaged in political activity or carrying out the responsibilities of her job. She, like any other citizen, deserves to be able to dine in public without harassment or embarrassment, particularly from the owners of the public establishment.

It was the owner who brought politics into this situation, not Ms. Sanders.

“I’d settle for her putting a big sign out front saying Trump supporters aren’t welcome.”

The CEO of Camping World, Marcus Lemonis, publicly stated he did not want Trump supporters patronizing his stores. Since that time I have complied with his wishes as have many of my friends who own RV’s.

if you believe bakery owners have the right to not bake cakes for fags, you also have to believe in the right of this owner to refuse service to SHS.

Anything else is hypocrisy.
//////////////////

Actually, the bakers were obligated to sell a cake to any customer that came into their store. That is exactly what they did. What they refused to do was to make a special cake that accepted “gay ,marriage” which violated their religious beliefs. Of course the ‘gays ‘ sued to force them to violate their religious beliefs.
In this case Sanders was merely asking to be served, like any other customer. Of course the bigoted marxist refused to serve her the same food she would serve any other customer. Now if Sanders had demanded the woman serve her a ‘special” item . not on the menu or stay open past posted closing hours, she would be legally within her rights to refuse.

Could have just asked Sarah to eat at the Negro counter. I’m sure they have one.

And for anyone that hasn’t researched it, this Wilkinson biotch is heavy into Democrat politics in Rockbridge County, VA.

So she is on board with bakers and florists standing up for their morals as well? I totally defend her right to ask anyone to leave her establishment as much as I disagree with her choice. I also fully support the right of a baker or florist not to participate in a gay “wedding” I doubt our fine proprieter would allow other business owners the choice she seems so proud of making

Yes. Like bakers and florists. However I suspect this woman does not see the irony in her statement

A true liberal should feel uncomfortable eating in her restaurant just as I would not seek to frequent a business that ejected a liberal, as she did Sarah Sanders.
