These signs were allegedly posted yesterday in response to the Supreme Court’s hay trick yesterday. If genuine—and who knows?—‘s staff the owner of the establishment is a medical miracle, apparently living without a brain. As simultaneous virtue-signaling and IQ 80 signaling, this is special. Let’s see: the Supreme Court did not rule that businesses can discriminate. How will the store’s staff identify “Trump supporters”? How often does a church walk in a store to buy anything? Do churches even fly flags? I’ve never seen one.
Bias makes you stupid, but it can’t make someone this stupid unless he or she is well on the way already.

Curious as to what type of business this is.

I actually appreciate it when people come straight out and tell me that they are bigots unworthy of my money. Honesty is refreshing, and I’m happy to spend my money elsewhere.
Everyone already knows this is how the left feels and thinks. It’s not shocking or even offensive anymore. I think every store owner who feels this way should post a sign making their bigotry clear. Then I can shop at places which align with my values.
Null Pointer: Every store owner should post a sign making their Anti-Trump bigotry clear so that you can shop elsewhere?
Did I understand you right?
Anti-Trump voter sentiment, anti-religious sentiment, anti-viewpoint sentiment, racial bigotry, whatever bigotry people feel they should feel free to post it on the front door. It makes things far more straightforward.
This isn’t behavior that wasn’t indulged in before. Some folks just feel the need to wear their opinions on their sleeves or post them on the door or wall. Sometimes it’s relatively benign, like Greek diners posting Orthodox icon stickers behind the counter or crunchy granola bookstores posting environmental slogans on the door. That’s stuff that can be comfortably brushed past on your way to paying for your breakfast or picking up a book. Sometimes it makes you wonder, like an Irish pub having a picture of Michael Collins, who is not entirely uncontroversial, on the wall, but it that setting it fits with the nature of the business.
Sometimes, it’s only controversial because people who like to make trouble have made it controversial, like “we support our troops” or “we support our First responders.” However, sometimes it is appointed statement that you can’t avoid, where it’s clear that the owner is taking a side, and it’s up to you to decide okay with patronizing this business where the owner is taking a side, and the side is taking. We’ve also run into situations where we have heard stories of police officers being refused service or uniformed servicemen being sent away or various public officials being thrown out because they belonged to the wrong political party.
We’ve concluded that these things are wrong, same as it would be wrong to throw out someone for being the wrong color or wearing a hijab or other religious garment. Now this idiot is misinterpreting the supreme Court’s recent decision to think it’s ok to post his bigotry on the door to keep out everyone who doesn’t agree with his views. Frankly anyone who calls himself “liberal”should be just as offended as a conservative would be. It’s also a given that this is awful business sense.
Personally, though, I’d be happy to know that this is one business where I do not want to spend any money.
As for churches flying flags, however, at least in the United States, it is fairly common to fly them in the sanctuary. Traditionally, Catholic churches fly the United States flag to the right of the pulpit and the flag of the Vatican to the left, while Protestant churches fly the United States flag to the right and the so-called Christian flag to the left (white, with a dark blue cantonment with a red Cross). Synagogues fly the US flag to the right and the state of Israel flag to the left. I do not know what the Orthodox churches do. Some churches fly flags outside their doors, some all the time, others only at certain times, like flying the Irish flag around St Patrick’s Day or the Italian tricolor for Columbus Day, although both of those are mainly Catholic things. I think once I saw a church fly the flag of Hungary on the feast of St Stephen, who was a king in that nation. Some liberal Protestant churches will fly the pride flag outside their doors, either as a symbol that gay people are welcome there or a symbol that whether homosexuality is biblically all right or not is a closed issue there.
Oh, Christ, all sorts of churches fly gay pride flags. They hand banners outside all the time.
This isn’t new. Many businesses started doing this after Trump was elected, if you remember. Once Trump was elected, it suddenly became allowable to discriminate by political affiliation. This wasn’t true before. If you say it is, then why didn’t racists in the late ’60’s and on say ‘No Democrats’ on rentals and home sales to keep blacks out. With all the talk about the dreaded ‘redlining’, this would have been a legal way to do it. It just shows that Democrats have always loved discrimination.
I actually would appreciate if and when businesses unambiguously declare their woke/lefty credentials; it makes much easier for me and my wife to identify businesses that we won’t support (to the extent that possible in place like Chicago). Please keep it up!
During lockdown, I tried going to a local cafe that hadn’t been to in several years. I actually drove a bit of distance to support specifically them. Last time I went, it was brand new and had a cool hippie/cat themed vibe.
When I arrived, the had put up every obnoxious Leftist bumper sticker, sign, and banner all over the exterior. Every step closer to the door, another banal slogan assaulted my senses. I mustered through, because unlike them, I don’t discriminate by political view point.
However, at the door, they had this nonsensical riddle with instructions on how to be “invited” to enter due to pandemic-capacity restrictions. The sign was a paragraph long, and they burnt through so much of my goodwill with their political crap that I did an about face and left.
Morons who are too arrogant, self-absorbed and dumb to know how moronic they are.
