Don't get your "Democrat" on warning

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Patrons kicked out of a Moe's restaurant because they looked "Democrat". See, I just knew there was and is a certain mystic "something" about us liberals. Haley and Christie's bodyguards clear out a burrito joint of suspected liberals.

God, I wish I was there and they tried to pull that shit on me. Right now I would be asking for donations to help raise my bail money.

1. I think I would have *accidently* done something messy with the burrito on my way out.

From the story at the link:

Meanwhile, another thwarted burrito customer told FitsNews:

An anonymous fellow started talking to the Moe's manager, pointing at us. My friend, Sylvie, mentioned it to me and I wrote it off. A few minutes later, the gm, who looked quite unhappy, told us we needed to leave now. I told him that I was a paying customer, and that I had yet to finish my burrito and chips. He said we had to leave at that moment, that it wasn't up to him and that they knew why we were here, or something to that effect. I asked him if he really wanted to do that, and told him that I was a blogger and that I'd make a huge deal about it, and that there was a swarm of media there. After he asked me three times to leave, I left because I didn't want to be arrested. We went back later to get our refund which he couldn't give us at the time, due to the urgency of us leaving. It was a different manager, who said he was working earlier also, and that it was weighing on him all day. He was totally understanding, gave us a couple of free burritos, and told us that we had been flagged by someone with Haley as "threats". While I have been involved in activism, my party of three has no criminal record I'm aware of, and none of us own guns or weapons of any kind, besides cameras and twitter of course.

7. More stupidity on the part of small businesses

owned by Republicans. Watch for the bad reviews to come in on Yelp and other review sites. Moe's corporate, too, will probably want a word with whoever owns that franchise, too.

Republicans kick everyone out but sycophants when they appear in public, it seems. That trick shouldn't work, and may not in the future, since there are people everywhere posting their experiences. Now, if I were the manager of that place, I'd tell the GOP operative that HE had to go, not the paying customers. "Go find some other place to screw up with your meet and greet. We're not open for it. We sell food to our customers. You're welcome to eat here, but you take what you get in terms of the people in the place. Sorry."

8. They can harass you at an abortion clinic

but you can't peacefully eat a burrito for fear you might harass them. That is solid American freedom in action.
