In almost every opinion on the restaurant that famously refused to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders, there is a too-neat congruence between the moral argument and the meta-political argument. If you think it’s right and just and admirable to deprive a Trump administration mouthpiece of an evening out in polite society, you probably also think that this sort of direct action is the vital spark that the left needs to mobilize and defeat Trumpism outright.
On the other hand, if you think that the restaurant owner committed an obnoxious breach of the basic bipartisan civility that prevents our empire from becoming 1990s Yugoslavia, you probably think that what she did was basically an in-kind donation to the Trump re-election effort as well.
It should be possible, though, to mix and match — to feel a certain sympathy or admiration for the restaurateur’s non serviam, but also to believe that its wider application by the Resistance wouldn’t do anti-Trump forces any good....

Keep it up, lefties! you’re firing us up to vote in November and in 2020.
“the restaurateur’s non serviam...”
Ironically, the phrase originates from the Book of Jeremiah, and refers to open defiance to one’s Creator.
Publicity Stunt.
She didn’t publicize it. A Red Hen employee did that.
Both in the case of the cake and the florist, and Little Sisters of the Poor they were targeted by a vindictive, Godless, we are paying you back group.
Homosexual militants are on a mission to destroy. They will never back down, ever. They will eventually go to court to FORCE pastors to marry them, in their churches. The left wants Christians to be silenced and preferably dead.
I’m getting to the point where I’m expecting the Democrats to, the next time they fool the people into actually voting for them, force conservatives to wear some sort of badge and go to re-education camps.
What’s that? The stoves let off too much ash and you haven’t heard from your friends in months and wonder what’s going on? Enjoy your new state-produced lampshade. Yes, we put that drawing on it to remind you of your best friend’s tattoo. Really. You conservatives are just a bunch of conspiracy nuts. Obama was God and there’s NOTHING going on to be worried about. Now get on the train.
They will go to taxpayer funded (ACLU) who will litigate their cause for free to shut down legitimate businesses and organizations.
The Left is pushing. They won’t like our ultimate push-back.
Conservatives were willing to “live and let live”. If the Left is not willing to do that, then Conservatives will decide that we need to work at eliminating the Left’s ability to harm us.
Many leftists work at “non-profits” which get their funding from grants. Trump needs to work at ending those grants, eliminate that funding. Leftist academics work in departments like “xxx-studies”? Let’s see what happens when student loan funding for majors which have below-average repayment rates get eliminated. And so on.
The FBI has a department going after copyright violators, which mainly benefits Hollywood? re-assign them.
The process is left wing rationalization. The Red Hen must have it’s neck rung. No such abomination should be allowed to exist
The yankee bitch that runs the place should be tarred and feathered and shipped to Alexandria on a rail
Puke alert, this is my hometown paper, a leftie-liberal rag that a true conservative cannot read without wanting to pitch it in the garbage.
