Nashville Flower Shop Refuses Business with Republicans.

I agree with that. It would be completely unworkable, but it's the only way to be consistent and preserve equal rights. It should be all or none. But just handpicking a few favorites is horrible government. Special rights for special people is bullshit.

It was needed when the discrimination was systemic and local government mandated. We are past that point now but they keep coming up with new things to apply the outdated laws to.

To me the line in the sand is when you run a business that invites the public onto your property without reservations or permission. At that point you are a PA and transactions you perform are covered under PA laws. What you don't lose is your right to decline contracted work for events with a specific theme or connotation you don't want to participate in.

My example would be a hotel. A hotel should not be able to deny rooms to anyone, even people ATTENDING a SSM, but they should be able to deny using one of their conference rooms to HOST a SSM if it goes against their morals.

When you are a wacko, this is your argument. Knowing that changes my mind about guns killing children. Unbelievable.

Shhhh. Not so loud. No one should know.

It was necessary when the democrats controlled the south.........

If you own a business, you should be able to serve or not serve anyone you want......it is a private business, and government shouldn't tell you how to operate that business....

Not the same dems, but some of those people went over to the Republicans as part of the "we went far enough on civil rights" group and some stayed with the Dems and became placating patronizing limo libs.

If you want a business license, then you play by the government's rules.

No one has an inalienable right to do business.

Republicans don't need flowers to send to families of those slaughtered by gun violence. They've got thoughts and prayers.

The majority of that gun violence is committed by gangbangers in Liberal shitholes when are you morons going to call for them to give up their weapons ?

 

[jbander]

No it should not be a protected class, however it already is if you are a democrat.

but but thats not true really is it.

Bullshit , by far the most dangerous states are all right wing states , and that includes all crime. and no it isn't the democratic cities in these hate party states , if that was the case the main problem would be in democrat states with their democratic city's. There is not one thing that republican states have over democratic states , If you had a choicer you would be stupid to live in a red state , they are a disaster As FAR AS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IS CONCERNED , SO THAT MAKES YOU 100% WRONG.

It depends on the State Laws.

States have a responsibility to to set standards for business practices - and businesses must conform to them.

If businesses don't like any particular law, they can support politicians who want to change the law. Chambers of Commerce usually have a lot of political clout.

Therein lies the rub, fuck the government, its licenses, and rules.

Name a state and I will name the city in that state that has been Democrat run for decades. Louisiana kinda seesaws between red and blue Right now a Democrat is the Governor and the murder capital of the US New Orleans hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1872.

 

[toobfreak]

That hit me right in the Stamen. your use of puns is a pollen.

 

[Polishprince]

Good for them. If their business model is to provide flowers to the Leftist community in Tennessee, I can understand their principles.

But it doesn't make much sense in my own view. Conservatives have funerals as well, not to mention mothers and wives, and they need flowers.

But it isn't like there aren't other florists around.

 

[Polishprince]

If the owners of this store took a bank loan out to open the joint, I wonder if they included their leftist exclusionary policies when they submitted their business plan? It would seem that their store policies might make it more likely the place will fail, and I wonder if this is the crime of "falsification of business records"?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

That you are just a bullshiter

Another pro crime vote. Yayyyy

Oh, you mean the partisan wanking? I have no use for that tripe. You fuckers are sinking country.

Right, you don't like the truth, just be honest with yourself!

that is a lie.....again...the Blue cities, and blue counties in those Red states drive the gun murder rates...

In February 2022, CBS News published a report about cities with the highest homicide rate, "Murder map: Deadliest U.S. cities." Of the top 10 deadliest cities in the country, all of them are cities with Democratic mayors. Moreover, of the 65 cities on this list with the highest murder rates, the overwhelming majority had Democratic mayors. And, to quote Clinton, "that's just a fact."
----
On Nov. 4, the Heritage Foundation released a study showing that "high-crime counties are governed largely by Democrats." It revealed that of the 30 cities with the highest murder rates in the country, 27 have Democratic mayors. Furthermore, of those 27 cities, nearly half (14) have radical left-wing prosecutors funded or inspired by affluent billionaire and leftist political activist George Soros and the Open Society Foundation.
"The high murder rate is almost exclusively cabined in cities run by Democrats and with Democrat district attorneys, many of whom are Soros bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors or inspired by Soros, groups like the egregiously misnamed Fair and Just Prosecution and other battering rams of the movement," the authors of the study stated.

Don't believe Democrats' lies — blue cities, not red states, have the violent crime problem

From poster, Toobfreak.

I chose 58 cities as that was the largest number I could fit on a page. I then went through each city one by one to look up the major of every city. Aside from the fact that you can forget finding any pattern of cities in "red" states being the most with the highest crime as the idiot Marc tries to claim, but I went down the list marking all the mayors of the highest crimes cities in America in BRIGHT RED who were DEMOCRATS.


Look at what I found:

Every city above in red is RUN BY A DEMOCRAT!

Murder map: Deadliest U.S. cities


Also.....

The No. 1 state on Third Way’s list is Mississippi. Sure enough, the statewide vote in the 2020 election was for Trump. But within the state, Hinds County residents voted for Joe Biden, 3 to 1. Mississippi’s biggest city, Jackson, is in Hinds County. You know where this is going.
Reporting on Jackson last year, CNN declared it “one of the deadliest U.S. cities.”

The mayor of Jackson is Chokwe Antar Lumumba, a Democrat. The district attorney is Jody Owens, a Democrat.
No. 2 on the list is Louisiana. Trump won that state, too. But on the more local level, he lost Orleans, the parish that contains New Orleans, the state’s most populous city. Residents there went for Biden almost 8 to 1.
“New Orleans had the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with about 41 homicides per 100,000 residents.”— The Wall Street Journal, Sep. 16, 2022
The mayor of New Orleans is LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat. The district attorney is Jason Williams, also a Democrat.
No. 3 on the list is Kentucky, another red state that voted to elect Trump. But Kentucky’s biggest city Louisville is in Jefferson County and 60 percent of those voters supported Biden.
This is from Kentucky-based think tank Pegasus Institute in August: “In the last decade, the city of Louisville has seen unprecedented increases in shootings and homicides. 2020 became Louisville’s deadliest year on record, and 2021 have proven to continue that trend.” The organization reported last year that Louisville’s homicide rate was competing with the likes of Chicago and Philadelphia.
The mayor of Louisville is Greg Fischer, a Democrat. The district attorney is Thomas B. Wine. He is also a Democrat.
Next is Alabama at No. 4, another 2020 red state. But Biden won the most votes in the most populous county, also called Jefferson. He won 56 percent to Trump’s 43. Within Jefferson is the city of Birmingham, which has the third-highest murder ratein all of the U.S.
The mayor of Birmingham is Randall Woodfin. He’s a Democrat, just like the district attorney, Danny Carr.
In slot No. 5 is Missouri. Again, a Trump state. And again, with the county containing its biggest city, St. Louis, going for Biden, 61 percent to Trump’s 37. St. Louis has the fourth-highest murder rate in the country.
Mayor: Tishaura Jones, Democrat.
County prosecuting attorney: Wesley Bell, same.
No. 6 is South Carolina. Trump won that state, but Charleston County, with the city of North Charleston, went for Biden with 56 percent of the vote. North Charleston has the highest murder rate in the state.
Finally, here we have a city with a mayor, Keith Summey, from the Republican Party. The county solicitor — Charleston does not have a district attorney — is Scarlett Wilson, also a Republican.
Not that we’re keeping score, but that brings the number on this list of Republicans who might feasibly be held accountable for raging crime in their cities to a grand total of two. For Democrats, it’s so far 10.
The next two states on Third Way’s report, New Mexico and Georgia, went blue in 2020, so we’ll skip those.
No. 9 is Arkansas, which was red. But again, Pulaski County, with the state’s biggest city of Little Rock, went blue with 60 percent of voters choosing Biden. That city reportedly has one of the highest violent crime rates in the state. The mayor of Little Rock is Frank Scott, a Democrat. The county prosecutor, Larry Jegley, is a Democrat as well.
Lastly, at No. 10, is Tennessee. Another red state with a major blue county that went for Biden. That county here would be Shelby, with 64 percent of the vote going to the president. In Shelby is the city of Memphis, which, according to The New York Times, “is often ranked among the nation’s most violent cities.”
The mayor of Memphis is Jim Strickland, a Democrat. Steve Mulroy, a Democrat, is the recently-elected district attorney.
To recap, of the eight red states listed in Third Way’s report as being among the top 10 with the highest murder rate, the cities where all that murder is happening are run almost exclusively by Democrats. All but one had a Democrat mayor. And all but one had a Democrat responsible for pursuing criminal prosecutions.
