Here's picard saying Fuck decorum, because men of good conscious sometimes must do what they feel is right:
Please pay very careful attention to the specific situation he is describing while he does this.
McCarthyism implies it isn't something that is actually a problem, it is.
I hope her children cried. I want them to grow up realizing what absolute, hateful scum their mother is. Nothing would make me happier than knowing that she knows her children loathe her.
I'm sure Sarah's very big on the whole "cakes don't need to be made for gays" kinda position, but I would totally imagine she got salty from this.
As she knew well they would. That's why she used her official government account to attack the restaurant by name (and having the gall to claim how respectful she is while intentionally setting the attacks dogs on it).Nice of Sarah to point out exactly which restaurant she went to. They're flooding their reviews with one star ratings on Yelp.

And people like SHS are the ones pushing to keep allowing it legally. So yeah, I'm not about to shed any tears for her ass.The problem is, and as I've mentioned before, is that this perspective is built on ignorance.
So let me make this clear this time so you won't miss it.
THIS ALREADY HAPPENS AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MINORITIES AND LGBTQ IN THE US FOR DAYS, DECADES, CENTURIES.
This isn't setting a precedent, because the precedent has already been set for ages.
Spreading like wildfire? We're already in the wildfire. This is trying to put it out.
That's really the core of the issue here, and why I keep finding your comments problematic.
Nobody has been able to explain how refusing to serve a person because they are a lying, hateful bigot is the same as being a lying, hateful bigot. Putting these on the same level is a good way to show your ass. You ain't clever. Some of you should just say what you really mean. At least it wouldn't be as cowardly.

ButWhat are you implying?
I loathe Sarah Sanders. Yet I disagree with any discrimination at all in the service industry.
Her children haven't done anything to warrant being made to cry. You're pretty scummy yourself if you think so.

Agreed. These people know that the people who disagree with them are far more decent than they are, and they constantly use that to their advantage. They know the other side will follow the rules, so they don't bother. And the second anyone calls them out, suddenly it's "So much for the tolerant left!"Republicans think they constantly have license to shit on everyone and everything that aren't them, and they get away with it because everyone else tries to be the better man(as some in here are suggesting we do).
Fuck that, they've pushed us all to the point where we can't just treat these monsters as fellow citizens. Anyone who is suggesting civility and tolerance at this crucial point doesn't understand what's at stake.

Picard would. You can't compromise on your values just because others are.
So many people have quoted me, I'll answer to this one. As I understand it isn't illegal to refuse service in the US for those reasons. My personal opinion is that it is immoral to refuse service for any other reason than the person's conduct within the specific establishment.
I hope you aren't surprised then when restaurants begin to refuse service to gay or black people, they refer to it as a "protest".

this comparison is so bonkers all I can do is laugh, holy shit
All y'all "take the high road" types do realize why "so much for the tolerant left" became a meme, right?
Republicans have been accustomed to the Democratic Party's belief in the inherent goodness of humanity for decades now. They know it makes us weak, more likely to roll over and give up or settle for a compromise compared to actually fighting for what we know is right until we win. Republicans have known this about us for a long time and they have taken advantage of it over and over and over again. It's the reason the party has been able to survive as long as it has, because they will push the limits of depravity but we always stop short of ever doing anything to stop it or truly do anything about it.
I love President Obama. He's a great man and I don't regret voting for him for a second, but his naivety and his foolhardy belief that finding common ground with the GOP was possible was his tragic blind spot.
But when Democrats finally started getting angry enough to really fight back instead of just trying to middle-ground things, Republicans started getting SCARED. That's why "so much for the tolerant left" happened. They know that a galvanized, truly enraged Democratic Party, if focused correctly and carried by the right leadership, could destroy everything they stand for, because none of the GOP's beliefs actually stand up to any real scrutiny.
What is this bullshit, playing the victim. You can espouse opposing views on this forum, but you better have a damn good argument and have facts to back it up. Because I can tell you most people here have both of their beliefs.I'm not Staning for shit bags. You're not following the logic.
I'm Staning for standards and how we treat one another.
I don't like the Trump administration. But I refuse to be afraid to call out the people I align with when I think they're being unfair, unreasonable, or hypocritical.
And this is a forum that is a tough place to do that, but I don't like the bully mentality from any side.
"McCarthyism is a political ploy that wields accusations and shame without significant evidence."
I was not comparing the poster's view to McCarthyism, I was identifying it as McCarthyism. Care to elaborate on how these accusations are grounded in sufficient evidence?
Oh, like all the "immigrants commit all the crimes but we have no stats to show" that trump and his cult continue to peddle?"McCarthyism is a political ploy that wields accusations and shame without significant evidence."

I'm just going to address this one part of your post.
What about this situation do you feel will make this spread like wildfire?
One senior offical in this shitty administration gets their comeuppance??
She's not getting discriminated because of her race, sex, gender, age, physical disability.... hell she's not even being discriminating because of her political leaning.
She's a career politician that is beholden to the public, and her very public actions will have very public consequences, this adminstration is going down a very real & very dangerous path with the caged human beings & abduction of children happening at the border. As opposed to the imagined slippery slope of one Trump official being denied service at one restuarant causing a wave of future discriminations of protected classes.
Significant evidence Sarah Sanders is a piece of shit or significant evidence there's a rash of "Just asking questions" type posters?I was not comparing the poster's view to McCarthyism, I was identifying it as McCarthyism. Care to elaborate on how these accusations are grounded in sufficient evidence?
Well, I am a Republican if that is what you mean. I just personally feel the polarizing of politics is going too far in our country.
Hopefully the restaurant sues the shit out of her.She violated federal law (yet again) by using her federal Twitter account to oush a grudge.
Maybe that's (just another reason) why people have a problems with these evil fucks.
Just chiming in to say Picard would have totally fucked us over had he been in command of DS9 during the Dominion War. Hell, his values cost the Federation thousands of lives because of his personal internal conflict in deciding whether or not to destroy the whole Borg collective.
You also need to sit down and actually watch / understand TNG, cause you obviously don't get Gene Roddenberrys clear as fucking day message
He's right in that McCarthyism is alive and well and perpetrated every day by the right.McCarthyism refers to an extremely specific time and context of political shaming, when minority opinions were suppressed by the paranoid ruling class of America. You have described the mechanism by which McCarthyism operated without understanding at all the framing of the use of the term. Get the fuck out of here with pretending a small, private store owner throwing out the mouthpiece of a political party that literally controls every level of government currently is in any way McCarthyism. To use the term that way is to wield it with the intellectual grace of a gorilla throwing luggage around a cage. Especially given the not so subtle "sic'em" implied in Sander's tweet complaining about the situation.
