The last time I looked going to a restaurant is not a protected constitutional right!

We've already had this debate.

Hmmmm, looks like that old "Cutting off one's nose...." has come home. According to this story they had to close the restaurant last night. So, the employees just lost a night's pay because the chef didn't like one of their patrons and whined to the manager.

start.att.net...

Hope they have plenty of crayons and teddy bears to pass out to the offended.

I always have a good chuckle when the leftists bring up "morals" as their excuse for bullying people.

Usually, politics aren't on the menu at the Red Hen, Wilkinson says. "I’m not a huge fan of confrontation. I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals."
That business was mired firmly in controversy Saturday, with trolls of both flavors clogging the Red Hen's Yelp page (which now has two stars), its reservation line, and even shouting from the sidewalk in Lexington.
The restaurant opted not to open Saturday night, writing in an email that "We would like to avoid exposing our patrons to any potential unpleasantness from outside entities."

Wonder how much this cost the employees and if they were good with throwing away a full night's pay because the chef got his feelings hurt?

He didn't deny ordinary service, he denied a custom decoration.

Wow that chef put the owner in quite a pickle. Cost him money that night in wasted food then the next night by having to close. If i was the owner id have an ad doe a new chef. And the owner forgot one thing its his business he allowed the chef to bully him. Some people just shouldn't own a business.

It seemz that forcing an answer is a goal of trump...on purpose or not.

Our government basically operates on a go along, get along policy. Trump has been abusing that. I don't think he's intentionally trying to force the government to enforce or strike down laws but I do think it will be a positive outcome of his Presidency that we have to start explicitly writing out limitations and exceptions rather than simply leaving it up to the judgment of whoever is in office.

What is it called when we have a state of disorder due to the presence of authority?

Kakistrocracy. Though this administration is more of a kekistrocracy.

Not true, illegal immigration from Mexico peaked in 2004 for short term (under 5 years) residents, for long term (over 5 years) residents it peaked in 2009. It's been in decline since.

It harms our working poor, it harms our rich by needing higher taxes to pay for the added schools, welfare and crime, overall it harms our nation. These people tend to vote socialist too, they can't help themselves, they want to turn this place into just the place they came out of.

It broadens the tax base and creates more consumer demand. How they vote isn't relevant. They may not vote for what you would like, but that doesn't mean they're a negative to the country.

The problem here is that they didn't tell them what design they wanted.

You want a taste of open borders, go to california, and enjoy it.

I visit California a lot for work, roughly a week every 2-3 months. I also have a significant number of friends there who I speak to. The state is doing great, cost of living is high but salaries are also high to match.

Is that why they are leaving in record numbers and moving to AZ?

A friend of mine was in DC a week ago, ate at this very restaurant even. From what he told me, it's very popular and their food is terrific. I doubt they're in a predicament, if anything it will help them long term since Trump is very unpopular in the DC area. Remember, that area is deep Democrat country... to the point that even working in the White House now makes a person undateable in the area.

You know she was kicked out because she was part of the Trump administration, don't deflect and say this is universal.

I never said it was "universal". It was specific to Sarah Sanders. It wouldn't have mattered if she was a Democrat, a Libertarian or a Tea Partier. It was all about her public behavior.

mass migration from low iq nations.

You have made your position abundantly clear. To bring it back on topic, it is precisely this attitude that enables the administration to break families apart, and it is Sanders' defense of it that got her booted out of a restaurant. I hope it was a wake up call for her. She left the Trumposphere and discovered what real Americans feel about what is going on. She must now be aware of the Trump Curse: the closer you are to him, the more likely you will be indicted. The more you defend his actions, the less likely you will find gainful employment elsewhere. When she gets fired, her only options will be Fox and RT.

Outside of california a minority, as outside cali Trump won popular by over 1 million votes on strong anti illegal immigration stance. The dems have been roadblocking the will of the american people. Their illegal sanctuary state votes won't save them in midterms if they keep this up.

In this here thread it was said of families released like 2% go to the hearings, 98% run amok illegally. NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW. You want them released, you see california but you do not learn, you see Europe but you do not learn.

The administration of Trump has the majority of america on its side outside cali, a state where the legitimacy of their votes can easily be questioned.

As for this restaurant, it may very well learn the free market lesson of making such choices.

Marvel catered to SJWs in their comics? Their sales cratered.

Star Wars catered to the SJWs in their latest movies? How good is it going for Solo, or as some call it Soylo?

Do you think this restaurant will be any different. Maybe, but we'll see, I wouldn't bet on it.

It went up again after immigrants saw Trump was roadblocked, or so I hear. And how much do you trust Obama's admin's stats? They've been corrupt and spying with all the intelligence agencies, and lying and breaking the law left and right.

The Dreamers promise you think that didn't entice anyone?

All of those sanctuary cities and even oh my a sanctuary state.

Broadens that's not what cali is seeing, they're a burden and they're raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for the socialist utopia, all while the state suffers massive debt and growing unemployment.

People are moving primarily because there's too many good jobs in too confined a space, and that's resulting in huge cost of living increases in what was already an expensive area. You can see the same thing going on with Austin, Texas which has experienced a boom as well as Seattle. Texas is taking in so many people with California's values these days that the state is going to be blue within the next few years.

The people leaving California are for the most part not the skilled labor force, it's the unskilled who makes 20-30k per year and can't afford to live in the state any longer

That's why California has the highest quality of life in the US right?
