The more important point is that the baker does make cakes for gay couples all the time. He does not discriminate against anyone and makes that very clear. What he doesn’t do is make wedding cakes for them due to his religious convictions. The court upheld this was OK.
I personally feel that any establishment has the right to refuse service to anyone and in a sane world both the Cake Baker and the Red Hen can deny service if they choose to do so. If three dudes from the KKK wanted a drink at a local PUB, would anyone be upset if they’d were denied? Of course not.
With all that said, when word gets out that your establishment denies services to certain groups, this may have an economic impact. This should be considered when deciding who to deny. The Red Hen obviously felt it was worth the upheaval to show Sarah Sanders the door. Fair enough. Now they have become ground zero in a political poop-storm instead of a trendy restraunt in Lexington. Good job!!!.
As for Trump separating families at the border, its just a continuation of a policy Obama also carried out. Is it wise policy? Probably not, but either is 3-5 year waiting time for amnesty trials which the illegal alien is both sure to not show up to and also sure to lose. If congress doesn’t address this problem with real reform, the next step will be for the Feds to build tent cities on military bases to house illegal immigrant families while they await trial and to start construction of a wall to prevent them from illegally entering in the first place. I would personally rather see real reform enacted by Congress, but the tent cities and wall seem to be our best option at the moment.
And so it has been said......
>>If three dudes from the KKK wanted a drink at a local PUB, would anyone be upset if they’d were denied? Of course not.
It’s a very slippery slope.
What if they are RUMORED to belong to the KKK? Is that sufficient?
To the Left, anyone in the TEA Party was in a proxy front for the KKK.
Now lets flip this argument and say that the three customers are suspected of belonging to the Communist Party. Can they be refused service, employment, etc?
Are we going to be burdened with protests and lectures about the evils of blacklisting people, especially merely on the suspicion of belonging to a subversive hate group in league with foreign agents to undermine the USA?
