Restaurant Faces Investigation For Offering Church Discount

A family-owned restaurant in Pennsylvania is under a state discrimination investigation for offering a ten percent discount for diners who present a church bulletin on Sundays.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission confirmed there is an investigation against Prudhomme’s Lost Cajun Kitchen in the town of Columbia. The complaint was filed by John Wolff, a retired electrical engineer.

“I did this not out of spite, but out of a feeling against the prevailing self-righteousness that stems from religion, particular in Lancaster County,” Wolff told the York Daily Record. “I don’t consider it an earth-shaking affair, but in this area in particular, we seem to have so many self-righteous religious people, so it just annoys me.”

"It’s time to separate us from them."

No thanks. I am not giving up the west coast to pinko, fag, Godless communists. They can move to North Korea or conform to the constitution. Or fight for what they spout.

That said - either we get violent, in measured degrees, or we get steamrolled. For now, get active, get out and vote, annoy every conservative you know into voting and join your local GOP committees so you can steer them to the right.

So she offered him a discount just like everyone else of any persuasion? Well, then this guy is obviously a bigot. He should be reported to the PHRC for bias and hate crimes against this poor businesswoman.

I eat here every 6 months or so when I get the Cajun itch and Sharon Prudhomme is a good friend.

They are messing with the wrong lady. She will fight this. (Shhhhhh, if nothing more than the free advertising she will get.)

“They get Hawaii, the Northeast, West Coast and some Western/Southwestern states they took via the illegals invasion that they and part of GOP welcomed.”

Heck no; they aren't getting California or Hawaii. Too nice of real estate to give up. I want to to deport them all to the Ukraine.
And I'm serious if it could actually be done.

Marxists are illegal invaders of our Constitution.

Looks EXACTLY as I pictured him. I think I saw this wretched creature protesting outside of a Promise Keepers rally about 10 years.

Wow, what a fabulous menu! Yum.

“I said, ‘Wait a minute – you’re asking my husband and I to give anybody coming through my door a discount?’” she recounted. “They said yes.”

“I said, ‘Are you crazy?’”

“We have taxes to pay,” she said. “We have utility bills, payroll, mortgages and they’re expecting me to give everyone a discount?”

Prudhomme said that’s just not going to happen.

“This is our business,” she said. “We’re the ones paying the taxes. We need the people coming in. Our life is in this – and then to have someone come along and tell me what I can do and what I can’t do?”

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!

Easy fix is tort reform. Loser pays court costs and opponents legal expenses in full PLUS a reasonable amount to opponent for his time, say about $200 per day.

Lawsuits would drop drastically.

The LIAR said “I didn’t do it out of spite....” and sounded the horns signaling the ship had sunk in deep water. Must be living in permanent denial.Would he even recognize his own name if called in public? Or would he answer to his father’ name—(John 8: 44-45)

It’s a PRIVATE business

No such thing anymore. They might be privately held, but they are state-controlled.

Let's, see. There's a name for that. Private ownership, state-controlled, hmm.

I lose a buck. Although,he doesn’t look so healthy. He probably could use a little God in his life...? Might lighten up and not behave so “self righteous”
