I kinda hope they keep it up, they are only driving more people to the right, and solidifying the ones already here.

Resistance goes both ways ....

But I do want to live in a country where people feel comfortable exercising moral convictions in the way they run their businesses — whether they’re Christian bakers and florists or the Red Hen’s progressive proprietor.

Hypocrisy at its best. No matter what the topic, the Left wants to make it illegal...to force their opinion onto you and limit your freedom of choice. A conservative says if a baker won't bake your cake, find one who will. The Leftist could give a crap about the cake: They want to force every baker to yield to their demands. Take a hike, you hypocrites.

A day or two after the POTUS tweeted that they should be policing up their dirty awnings and windows instead of harassing customers FOX news reported the staff was doing just that. President Donald J. Trump living in their heads rent free.........and they don’t even know it........Hilarious!

[Tenacious 1]

Let’s draw some comparisons for perspective.

If I refuse to hire someone because they voted for Hillary/Barack, is that discrimination? Is it illegal?

If I refuse to make a wedding cake for someone that is a known liberal, is that discrimination? Is it ok/legal?

Are “Conservatives” considered a “protected class” of minorities? According to the media, conservatives are NOT the majority, so....

Are “liberals” considered a “protected class”? They are treated as such in the media. Look at the Red Hen case where protesters and Trump supporters are labelled “HATERS”.

I would like to see the tables turned and again expose the hypocrisy. I’d like to see restaraunts post signs that say, “Clinton/Obama supporters are not welcome here.” Let’s see how that goes over.

Ross Douthat and the New York Times are total cowards for disabling comments to this article.

“Who will help me destroy my lucrative business?” said the little Red Hen. They’re doing a damn good job of it on their own.

It seems to me that the joke is on the "Rosses" of the world. Nobody reads the New York Times anymore. Nobody outside the hemp-clad, jeans and leather jacket wearing losers at Ozzies in Brooklyn or their parents in their rent-controlled sublet East-side apartments (oh! For the poor!) care at all what New Yorkers think about Trump. Nobody Cares. Nobody. They're like the "cool kids" in school whose clique gets smaller and smaller until they're the only three or four kids who haven't made anything of themselves - who still live in town - and who are "too cool" to make it to the reunion. After a while, nobody gives a damn.

Every day, every incident still boils down to this: the Left simply does not understand the values, needs, and wishes of the majority of Americans. If they did, they would not be doing many of the things they do.

I suspect many of us had doubts during the Obamanation, but the triumph of Trump restored our faith.

As long as democrats pursue self-destructive tactics it just proves that Hillary is not the only one that can’t “move on”.

[CedarDave]

And if I were making a list of Trump administration officials who deserve to feel the sting of public censure, the office of the press secretary is actually a reasonable place to start. That’s because Ms. Sanders, while no doubt a good mother and kind person in the private aspects of her life, occupies a job that is inseparable from the aspect of the Trump presidency that even people who agree with some of his policymaking should find deplorable — the aspect that deals with public truth and falsehood.

Yeah, tell how you really feel Ross. Your call for civility only applies to those who you approve of or have no opinion. Anyone associated with the Trump administration is fair game, especially those with a high profile and who call out the purveyors of "fake news."

Your elitist position atop the newspaper of record blinds you to what is occurring outside your small bubble. You can not understand the crowds that attend rallies like that in Fargo this week. To process this large question, it brings you to agree with Hillary's "basket of deplorables." Trump derangement syndrome occupies you and you can not wrap your mind about it. US life outside of NYC is as foreign to you as modern life is to Amazon natives.

Didn’t the owner get kicked out of some club for business owner and didn’t she shut down her restaurant? Consequences!

[ontap]

Fact is everything is working out just fine...owner got to show her idiocy and customers are showing her the results of her idiocy!!!

[Sivad]

To respect your opponent enough to allow them a life
away from work used to be a thing. Since it no longer
is I have to assume that Maxine Waters will be getting
a giant taste of her own medicine.

[PCPOET7]

Something I figured out the other day and is not being mentioned in the media by talking heads is that the decision for kicking Sara Sanders and her dining group was probably preplanned days before it happened.

The restaurant had the Sanders reservation for a week before they showed up at the restaurant.

When refused service the family went to another restaurant to eat but was fallowed by the owner and other protesters to the other restaurant.

How long does it take for a group of protesters to show up at the invitation of a phone call to protest.This was not spontaneous if this was sparked by the owner calling friends at the last Minuit

Organizing would taken longer then the meal to get people together to protest.

this is my speculation of what happened

The sanders family showed up and that instead of the owner kicking them out it was going to be costumers making a stink and demanding that the family Leave but the costumers or protester did not arrive on time so the owner kicked her out.

After the family left the person who was suppose to make the big stink arrived and the person not happy that they did not get to play there role of annoyed customer so they fallowed the Saanders family over to the other restaurant to protest. the restaurant owner then fallowed that group over and joined in.

I believe that this refusal was coordinate with Maxine waters

Any updat s on what has happened to their business?
