Don't get it?

Why is it OK to be flagrantly homosexual, but not OK to be flagrantly Rep?

How on earth did the Left allow the words "Make America Great Again" into an evil and offensive slogan?? Talk about losing control of the message!
Because some find it insulting. Some feel america was already great.

Is there really much of a difference between religious beliefs -illegal to discriminate and political beliefs - legal to discriminate. They both tend to be deeply held ideals and beliefs. Why is one set of beliefs legally protected and the other is not?

It's their right to do so but you guys need to learn to read between the lines.

This whole thing is a smokescreen. I mean seriously, who sees people roaming around hipster bars like this in MAGA hats? I live around KC and I've never seen a single one.

So, it's a red herring where the bar is trying to keep out "certain folks" meaning poorer, browner etc. that tend to have the face tats but didn't want to get called out by SJW's soooooo they threw in MAGA hats as a distraction. LOL they could have said you can't bring your pet tiger in there too while they're at it.

P.S. Lincoln park has about 1 murder per 100k residents annually. 3 miles west-ish of there you will see neighborhoods that are 30x higher than that....and they don't want *those people* coming to their establishment. This is how Chicago rolls folks in case you never lived there.

Yep. I don't like people who wear their religion on their sleeve. And I don't like people who wear their politics on their head (so to speak). If I went into a bar I would not sit next to someone wearing a MAGA cap. I have no interest in listening to some drunk rant about how great Trump is.

For the record I support the owners right to discriminate, let the free market take care of things. That being said, my issue is always with the hypocrisy and double standard of Neo Progs. What if he made an announcement banning "I'm with her" hats and t-shirts? Those same leftists that are now trumpeting his right as a business owner would be crying "racism", "misogynist" and every other invective.

Just because the right is doing this (MAGA hats and Red Hen) does not mean the left would.


More likely, the left has all along opposed the exclusion of people for their race, sexual orientiation, politics, etc. I think most (not all) of us would be happy if businesses were to just do their job, and serve their customers, regardless of their background or beliefs. But it seems the POTUS and his ilk have set the tone, and we're all being forced to play by the new rules.

As usual, the right projects a bunch of crying, whining and butt-hurt on the left, while the left moves on, gets on with their day and OBSERVES a bunch of crying, whining and butt-hurt from the Trump-flakes.

I fully expect that someone will respond with some variant of "I know you are but what am I?".
