Sumner said unlike race, sexuality, and religion, political affiliation is not a protected class. "As long as there is no contract between the driver and the tow truck company then there is no legal obligation for the tow truck company to pick her up," Sumner said.

By the same token, in Obama's America, a baker/florist/photographer cannot refuse to participate in a gay "marriage" . . . but . . . that artist can ask whether the pervert thinks it is appropriate to mandate that bakers/florists/photographers participate and then refuse based on the response. If the pervert says "yes" the mandate is okay, then the refusal is based on their support for slavery, not on their perversion. If the pervert says "no" and sues, the pervert was obviously lying, and the refusal was based on disgust with a liar who supports slavery.

A lawyer could work with that. The only leverage the thugs on the left have over us is our own integrity. Unfortunately, that is enough with most devout Christians.

That was just plain wrong. What he did may be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

That is why I don't use bumper stickers. But i suppose if I were helping in a campaign I could have materials in my car.

No, I speak on the heart of God. Jesus drove moneychangers out of the temple, not the marketplace.

Love it.

It’s entirely plausiable that he has towed socialists before, and found out that they either didn’t have enough money to pay for the service, or were trying to defraud him in some other manner. Resolving that issue could end up costing him money or time.

I’d expect that to be a prominent part of a story that otherwise just paints him as a jerk.

Now if he was in the baking business...

And if she was a lesbo, the state AG would have him SWATted and drug into court.

I agree,he should have towed the veh after making sure he would get paid. What better sight than to see an old $hitbox with Sanders stickers being towed....You cannot be judge and jury,it could hurt your business.

I never said the government should protect he business owner either. I suspect he just made an excellent choice, financially.

And of course, you are immediately dismissive of his experiences which may have led him to make the decision. “Judge not, lest ye be judged” is not the only line of Scripture on the subject of one person judging another.

I don't think this is right. What if a business decided to not serve Donald Trump supporters? It's just bad business decision and a bad road to go down.

In my business, I deal with all types. So long as they pay their bills on time, I'm just happy to have their business.

In this day and age he could have swiped a credit card before he hooked to her car, no card, cash up front.

I agree with the tow truck driver, but he shouldn’t be going down this line with denying customers based on political affiliations. That can go way bad for both sides if more people start doing. She just wanted a tow to get to a mechanic or to get home. She wasn’t asking to go to a gay wedding forcing him to make a donation to the Bernie campaign.

He could have given her the tow, then lectured her the whole way to the mechanic about how Bernie would ruin the country. That would have been more productive than being a jerk about it.

Political opinion is not a protected class.

Free association is free association, or disassociation.

If the bumper sticker had said “Tow truck drivers are morons” and he refused, would some of us react differently? Why?

Sanders supporters support Marxist-socialism. They are at heart anti-American. Time for karma.

this kind of divisive behavior is not going to make America great again.”...However, their behavior will. You know, Mexican flags, beating on people, stomping on public property, etc.

It would have been the most honest to say “I class politically vocal Democrats as unacceptable credit risks” than to trumpet his “faith” and make a smart aleck remark about getting the government to pay for it, which not even Bernie has proposed.

Then Christians wonder why witnessing is so hard around here. The stereotypes are getting confirmed.

One thing’s for sure, the lady needing the tow was white.

Otherwise, this would have been the lead story on MSM, and Obama would be on the news saying, “She could have been my mama...no...wait...oh forget it.”
