“Yeah, well, abortion is butchery,”

Yup. That’s exactly where my mind went, too, when reading the restaurant’s name.

Aren;t they too busy pulling down statues to run a business?

An employee had looked up our organization, and their wait staff refused to serve us.

Sheesh. You'd think the group wanted these waiters to bake them a gay wedding cake or something.

Jesus said,
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." Matt 5:43-45

If they try to remove you, start singing civil rights songs and grab onto your table.

Count yourselves BLESSED!

Who knows how much, ahem, saliva and maybe other body fluids may have been in your food.


Schedule your next function HERE.

Of course, you'll have to be the right kind of organization here as well...

They turned off their voice mail. I’m going to still bug the crap out of them one way or another.

I’m sure they’re getting plenty of backlash.

Metzgers just got featured on Harris Faulkner’s show on FOX - it’s not going to help their business. I give them a year. The owners made the call to cancel the reservation & issued a statement, putting it on their employees who “didn’t feel safe”. Responsibility is ultimately on owners, despite their excuses. Harris made the point if they had denied Muslims, DOJ would have been all over it, but ok to discriminate against Christians.

Christian group president made the point that we’re becoming so divided, that even something like food service is an issue - just not civil among other things.

Anyway, Metzgers came off looking bad, IMO. Other non-discriminatory eateries will get the business Metzgers is going to lose. The Christian group had many messages from other eateries that they were welcome at their establishments. Harris said we’ll see if Metzgers issues another statement - I doubt it, ‘woke’ doesn’t apologize.

Awesome. Thanks for the update.

As an aside. A local college professor from Kutztown University had their students take pictures of local businesses that had pro-Trump stickers, signs, etc. in an attempt to hurt their business.

The Left is just so “ugly” in thought, word & deed.

Imagine the media outcry if you substituted Jewish or Muslim (or Black) for Christian. The place would be shuttered within a day.

But it’s open season on Christians, except at SCOTUS

The Bible makes for good reading over a cup of coffee. Bring good reading with you too.
