So, Pence walked out of the football game

Oct 9, 2017 6:09AM PDT

Good for him...Following the bosses orders....AND Spending taxpayers money. Seen figures of around $400k for the cost of the sideshow....

NO figures on the number of people that followed HIS lead and left the game. HIS security team and the wife don't count.... Follow me boys and girls...this way to the exit....

Probably none...it's one thing to spend someones else's money (the taxpayer) to express YOUR position, and another to spend YOUR OWN money to express an opinion.

There should have been a few Trump supporters there....Walk out and send a bill to the POTUS?...he's got you covered?

There was a news video a few days ago
Oct 15, 2017 4:13AM PDT

showing a restaurant owner throwing out, with huge insults, a small party of people who were pro-life activists who just came to his restaurant for lunch after a protest nearby. The owner not only berated them for not being pro-choice but got verbally and graphically abusive about other issues regarding sexual behavior.

Now, I have to ask.........do liberals believe he was within his rights to not serve these paying customers because of HIS freedom of speech and other rights given to him under the Constitution? If so, then why weren't the same rights given to the bakery that refused to deliver or bake a cake for the gay couple a few years back to the point that those owners lost their business due to legal fees trying to fight for their right to do so?

I haven't seen even ONE liberal media station or website report on this restaurant owner story, have you? Does 'free speech' only travel in one direction when it comes to liberal activists?

Do YOU want ME to look for that story on the web?

You just obviously don't care to be informed about anything that doesn't fit your agenda....an agenda, by the way, that you have no say so in regarding the USA.

OK...I found the 'story"
Oct 15, 2017 7:35AM PDT

Video was removed....You don't want the printed "version"(one side)....that's fine with me.

Carry on.

Me personally? No, I don't do I?

I DO give YOU a platform for YOUR rants.

You're Welcome.

What was Trudeau (Prime Minister of Canada, in case you don't know) doing in US last week? Having a "say"?

Not even on FOX NEWS?..

THEY'RE FIRED!!!!.

Perhaps YOU didn't see what you thought you saw.

It wasn't on their website....

Oct 15, 2017 8:20AM PDT

Nope...I read ONE SIDES version of what happened...the video was removed by the owner of the video (the Pro-life people)

You can't find the video on even ONE liberal media station or website

AND you can't find it on any of YOUR favourite sites?

WHAT does THAT tell you?

- Collapse -
Perhaps they removed it
Oct 15, 2017 10:07AM PDT

on advice of an attorney because they plan to use it as proof in a lawsuit against the owner? In any event, the video WAS shown on FoxNews and NO liberal media outlet even REFERRED to the story. There is no indication of how long that video WAS available to view....it could have been taken down yesterday for all anybody knows, JP.

WHERE did you read ONE SIDE'S version? And how do you know that it was taken down by the owner (Pro life people)? I've found NOTHING on a search about there being a story out there and you didn't provide a link to what YOU claim to have read.

The video itself may not be available now, but the STORY is still out there.

https://knightstemplarinternational.com/2017/10/gay-man-throws-christian-pro-life-group-coffee-shop/

So, answer the question I originally asked.....should the owner be sued for refusing to serve them just as other activists sued other owners for the same behavior when situations were reversed?

Hey...the video IS still out there..... http://instinctmagazine.com/post/gay-coffee-shop-owner-throws-out-christian-group-offensive-graphic-flier

Well, I visited your link
Oct 15, 2017 11:16AM PDT

said Video wasn't available...

Last line of the "partial transcript" (one side of the story) said...

Shortly thereafter, the group left.

Shortly thereafter...They left?

Shortly thereAFTER the argument?

NOT immediately?

HE didn't phone the PoPo?

No fisticuffs?

The owner let them stay "after the argument"?..doesn't sound like he kicked them out.

.It doesn't say "he kicked them out"...They left.

IF I was the owner of the coffee shoop
Oct 15, 2017 11:25AM PDT

I would let those people sit there ALL day....As long as they each paid for 1 cup of my most expensive coffee each and every 1/2 hour for every seat they occupied. Just being there and "standing" also counts as being "seated"...I have to cover all the possibilities....same with sitting in the washrooms....
