Archimedes' thoughts on SHS be asked to leave a restaurant


?s=19

Dear @AriFleischer and @PressSec -I’m sorry Sarah didn’t get served last night but want to clear up a few things. We are no celebrating that she got kicked out, we do not want this. We are celebrating that Republicans are now being treated the way they want to treat everyone else

What did you think would happen when SCOTUS ruled bakeries could refuse to serve LGBTQ people on religeious grounds? When Hobby Lobby wanted to deny women contraception? When Drs started saying the didn’t want to treat Trans people? All on “moral grounds”

Did you thing the “right” had the sole ownership of morals? You’ve told yourselves that the “left” is a bunch of amoral crazy people so long you probably started to believe it yourself. Its not true. Our morals say treat ALL people with dignity regardless of who they are...

Welcome to the America that you fought for. Where we can refuse to aknowledge you on “moral grounds”. You did this. Your lack of empathy and dehumanization of others did this. Now, you can stick to your “morals” or you can help us fix it. Your choice.

My favorite--

"Yes, it is humiliating but it seems the only way to get a Republican to realize when something is wrong, it to make them feel it themselves."

Oh THAT is good..

The restaurant owner likely is sickened by the Trump's administration treatment of young immigrant children. She refused service to a person who regularly defends that policy to the nation. If republicans say that it is ok for a baker to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple on moral grounds, or a doctor to refuse to treat the sick child of a gay couple on moral grounds, or Hobby Lobby to refuse to allow employees access to contraceptives on moral grounds, then it is perfectly ok for a restaurant owner who had moral issues with s racist immigration policy to refuse service to a person that defends that policy, on moral grounds.

batch of tweets!

So well thought out - make them "eat sh*t" - that's the "special" that they've been serving!
