stevenash Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 So a proprietor, in your opinion, does NOT have the right to trade with whom he wants? But I am sure you thought all was fine when the . restaurant chose to refuse service to Sarah Huckabee Sanders in Lexington, Virginia? ( if you didnt think it was ok, I dont seem to remember you offering your thoughts on that circumstance) Quote

Chick Fil-A donated to the Salvation Army, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and many other charities. Both are Christian organizations that donate to Christian charities. They have done nothing to discriminate against gays or anyone for that matter. Just admit you hate Christians and move on. It would be a lot easier to take you serious if you were honest. I am a Christian. I think the Bible’s got a good bit to say about that judgement you just threw on me. I was talking about boycott as a way to express one’s disagreement. 2 cents add up over time.

My guess is that your 2 cents is offset by a number of individuals who made it a point to shop at the two aforementioned companies specifically because they would not let the left dictate how they operate their business or with whom they do business. I am not a consumer of chicken but have bought other items at chick fill a ( that I ordinarily wouldn't) because of their stance on many issues baddog 1 Quote

Have you ever been to Chick Fil-A and had a worker subject their beliefs to you or seen them discriminate against any customer? I’ve never seen or heard such an accusation. I’m sure if it happened, it would be all over the news. You are boycotting a place because the liberal media tells you to, not because they did anything wrong. It’s pathetic that a company can’t be openly Christian without being criticized by the left. Quote

If so, why is the reverse not also? Quote
baddog Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 Isn’t this a quid pro quo? Goldman could be brought up on charges if in fact this is criminal. Quote

I believe Fox did show the video of the black man being shot in the back by the cop in SC. And for the record, I said then I felt this was completely uncalled for. So, there you have it!

Donating and other expressions of opinion are not the same as discriminating on the basis of race, sex, or religious affiliation. Nothing communist about equality on those bases is it? As for types of what I’d call economic systems, not societies, we’re headed right straight to an oligarchy, which will in turn lead to authoritarian rule of everyone not an oligarch.
