141. I'm with you on this one, TomInTib. What's the point of having a free market economy
(not that we actually do, of course), if you can't refuse a sale to anyone you want?
To those equating this with racial or sexual discrimination, just remember, political ideology is a choice; the woman chose to put a Palin button on her purse, and TomInTib chose not to sell to her on that basis.
TomInTib, you did all right.
I'm still shaking my head and laughing at the repuke's mystification that some things can be more important than monetary gain. He'll be YEARS getting that one through his head!
I'm sorry, Aristus, but way before your pet projects of race and sex were protected, free political speech was protected. Political ideology is indeed a choice and one that is protected and held dear by our founding fathers who faced the kind of subjective persecution you little emperors like to dole out at the hands of Kings and Queens in the old world. You all are that which you claim to loath--enemies of freedom.
One other note, your pet protected classes would not be protected if not for the freedom and exchange of ideas that allowed things like women's suffrage and civil rights to come about.
