The problem is, the Left made all of their favorite causes “protected.”

Businesses have the right to refuse to serve any one.

Then again, you’re free to look elsewhere.

The path is clear, just ban all these liberal clowns from your business based on their political association.

Ok, works for me.

Let's try a slightly different example.

One of the bakers got a California to judge agree that the act of baking a cake was artistic expression, and an artist cannot be forced to express sentiments against their beliefs. Buying an off the shelf generic good is okay, but custom designing a cake for a gay wedding can be denied.

Taking this to the bar, the owner might be required to serve the Trump supporter a beer or glass of wine, but might refuse to mix a custom cocktail.

As a matter of law and of property rights, this is correct. they can boot Trump supporters if they choose to.

But could we boot Hillary supporters or other libs from our business establishment? Anyone want to put money on that?

"...Not because I have any particular animosity towards Trump supporters (any more than other enablers of government oppression)..."

Leftists are among the most intellectually and morally bankrupt group of people who have ever existed.

Please consider the following side note to this thread.

"The distinction, in this case, is that the bar did not deny someone based on religious beliefs. Political discrimination is allowed. So you cannot deny a customer based on your own religious beliefs, but you can deny a customer based on their–and your–political beliefs. Unless of course, that customer holds a protected political belief, in which case you still cannot deny them."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Politically correct, anti-Christian interpretations of the Constitution aside, please note the following.

One of the reasons that Christian business owners have been getting unjustly punished by pro-LGBT, anti-Christian state actors is this. Christians evidently don’t know their constitutionally enumerated protections, the 14th Amendment in these cases, well enough to protect themselves from activist actors.



In fact, consider that Acts 22:25-29 shows that Paul used his Roman citizenship to save himself from being flogged.

But the main reason imo that state actors continue to get away with harassing Christians is the following imo.

The corrupt, post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration has been wrongly silent on state abridgment of constitutionally enumerated rights.

More specifically, it has stubbornly refused to take the initiative to exercise its 14th Amendment powers to make punitive laws to discourage state actors from harassing citizens who value their freedoms of religious expression and speech in these cases.

The remedy for the worthless uniparty Congress that condones harassment of Christians …

Patriots need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.

More specifically, patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, candidates who will be willing to make punitive laws to discourage abridgment of constitutionally enumerated rights by state actors.

Patriots must then pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day so that they can start making such laws.

And until the states wake up and repeal 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of the outcome of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud, associated MSM scare tactics, and interference from people like Soros.

Any loud boisterous group should be shown the exit. However, if they are conducting themselves in accordance within the norms of the establishment, they should not be fair game for being refused service.

Evidently this judge hasn’t heard of Blacks, Hispanics, Homosexuals...

I’ll guarantee you, if this group had been a Leftist group, this judge would have seen things quite differently.

Some folks will try to say, being born Black, Hispanic, Gay, and several other categories makes this situation different.

No, Conservatives were born with the ability to see things clearly, and they should not be penalized anymore than anyone else for how they were born.

OK. Since 90% of blacks are Democrats, and I have the freedom to discriminate based on politics I just tell all Democrats to get the hell out of my business.
Right?

They didn’t deny gay customers. They denied a same-sex marriage

Hmmm. This should open some new doors.

Can the conservative Christian who owns a bakery now simply ask the gay couple who comes in wanting a wedding cake, “Well, what do you think of Trump? Did you vote for him or did you vote for Hillary?” If they indicate they hate Trump and voted for Hillary, can the couple then say, “Get out of my damned bakery. I don’t make cakes for DEMOCRATS or anyone with whom I disagree with politically!”?

The people who fall into these categories are general protected from discrimination for employment purposes. I'd bet a similar list is used when deciding discrimination cases for public places: race, nationality, national origin, color, religion, creed, sex (including pregnancy), gender identity or expression, domestic partnership or civil union status, ancestry, age, mental or physical disability, perceived disability, AIDS and HIV status, affectional or sexual orientation, marital status, familiar status, atypical hereditary, cellular or blood trait, genetic information, service in the armed forces, or status as a Vietnam era or a special disabled veteran or liability for military service.

The list seems to grow every year. Maybe we can get MAGA listed...

The bar was owned by a lib, the bakery is owned by a conservative. According to activist judges conservatives have no rights. Remember Democrats are communists even their goose stepping judges!
