Put a sign on the door and let us know before we come in

Darkangelpolitics.com

Silvio Canto, Jr.: "We've been following the story about the Red Hen Restaurant versus White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

"As you know, Sarah and her family were told to leave the restaurant.  It's just the latest example of the left pushing politics in your face, from sports highlights to now having a family dinner.

"What else do you need to understand about Trump Derangement Syndrome?  My guess is that Dr. Krauthammer must be running a panel up in Heaven telling everyone that the left down here is beyond repair.

"Now someone is running this headline: "Restaurants Could Get in Serious Legal Trouble if They Discriminate Against Trump Admin."

"The article explains that it may seen as "discrimination" in some jurisdictions in the country.

"Frankly, keep the courts out of this, and let Trump voters do their thing.  

"Here is a memo to business owners looking do a Red Hen: If you do not want to do business with the 62 million of us who voted for Trump, then let us know.  Put a sign on the door, and we will be delighted to take our money to someone else.  

"By late Saturday, the Red Hen's website was down, the reservations phone line disabled, and the voicemail full.  We can be sure that it'll be a while before manager and co-owner Stephanie Wilkinson tries that again.

"It's stupid to play politics with customers.  At the same time, we can play that game, too. "  

It is, after all, in the Democrat DNA:

Big League Politics

"I confronted Rep. Maxine Waters of California regarding her call for Trump administration officials to be harassed in their everyday lives. Does Maxine Waters think this kind of targeted harassment is civil? Does Maxine Waters stand behind her comments, or was it just agitprop for her Resistance friends?

"Many Democrats are disavowing Rep. Maxine Waters for her comments earlier, encouraging people to harass Trump administration officials and Trump supporters in the streets.

"But not all Democrat lawmakers are taking the [same] path and distancing themselves from Waters.

“ 'So yes, if I saw an administrator in, um, out and about, there’s nothing wrong with confronting that person,” said Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) at the very end of a rant on MSNBC…"  Hat tip to John Bledsoe at Moretti Underground

Scott Adams On Why Republicans Have To Vote This November: “They’re Coming For You Next” (VIDEO)

terrellaftermath

American Lookout  "Dilbert creator Scott Adams recently made a very important point about the midterms. Trump supporters, conservatives, Republicans, etc. absolutely must vote in the midterms because the left is completely out of control. Today they are attacking public figures with mobs. Tomorrow it could be you.

"Breitbart reports:

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams does not vote. But for the first time, he said Sunday, he is thinking about it — thanks to the effort by opponents of Donald Trump to ostracize people who support the president.Adams, who predicted Trump would win the 2016 election en route to becoming an influential political writer, was reacting on his daily Periscope broadcast to “conservative” Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, who defended a Virginia restaurant owner who ejected White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday.

“This doesn’t end well,” Adams said, calling her position “anti-free speech,” in the sense that people would no longer feel free to disagree with one another. “If citizens can do what government used to be able to do, which is censor … Free speech is no longer practical. It’s still legal, but no longer practical.”…

“And I’m feeling like the best reason for Republicans to vote is they’re coming for you next. And they’re not hiding it. They’re coming for Trump right now, but they’re making it pretty clear they’re coming for Trump supporters next,” he said."

Red Hen: The slippery slope toward political violence

Red Hen Owner Runs Historic Downtown And They Just Threw Her Under the Bus  "Apparently, Meryl Streep’s cousin, Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of the Red Hen and a bully who kicked out Sarah Sanders and her family mid-meal, runs all of Downtown Main Street Lexington. She is the Director of the area.
"Unfortunately for her, the officials of historic downtown are very unhappy with her rude, bullying tactics. She’s been thrown under the bus and rightfully so.

"The representatives of historic downtown wrote on Facebook:

We do not condone the actions of Stephanie Wilkinson, owner of the Red Hen Restaurant and Director of Main Street Lexington.The negative impact and nasty backlash towards our little community is downright appalling.Please do not condemn our town for one persons actions.To The People, Mr. President Trump & Secretary Sarah Sanders we sincerely apologize for the poor behavior and decision of ONE PERSON!"If you feel the need to express negative comments, please re-direct them to Stephanie Wilkinson directly. Thank You

 

"If you are going to avoid her restaurant, she owns a shop called House Mountain Yarn. You might want to avoid that too."

. . . Consequently, the recent revelation in releasing names of ICE agents and their families is dangerous.  They simply are doing their job in enforcing the law.  Instead of attacking and vilifying those who honorably served in uniform during the Vietnam years, the left has now found a target for this generation's self-righteous activists.  Taking away the privilege to fly (it is not a right) would be a prudent and safe move to protect the innocents." . . .

Trump wasn't the first victim of Democratic espionage

Don Surber  "Victor Davis Hanson delved into the classics to consider "Hillary’s Hamartia," which was his way of explaining in the context of Ancient Greek Literature her colossal mistake in refusing to accept the reality of 8 November 2016.
"One does not need even a passing knowledge of Greece 2,500 years ago to understand his point.
"But Hanson inadvertently raised a possibility that numbs the mind.
"Had Hillary won, we would never have known about her most recent crimes.
" 'No one would have known or probably cared that the Obama national security team had unmasked the names of U.S. citizens swept up with FISA court surveillance and leaked them to the press. Indeed, a President Clinton would likely have envisioned overzealous careerists who may have broken the law on her behalf as loyalists to be rewarded, rather than as lawbreakers to be referred to federal prosecutors," he wrote.
"That is the answer that asks the question: Was Trump the first victim of Democratic espionage?
"In his piece, he points out the genuine lawlessness of Hillary over the course of 40 years as a public servant, as she gamed the system until her net worth topped eight figures.
" 'From Clinton’s cattle-future imbroglio and the missing Rose Law Firm files to the Uranium One and Clinton Foundation scandals, Clinton for over 40 years has never much worried about the wages of chronic deception and ends-justifying-the-means morality," he wrote." . . .

Steve Scalise Gives Maxine Waters A Civility Lesson After She Calls For Harassing Trump Officials

Weasel Zippers

"If anyone has the right, it’s the man a Bernie Bro tried to assassinate.

"Via Daily Caller:

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and his staff are responding to calls from Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California for protestors to form mobs and harass members of the Trump administration, calling the statements troubling and the complete antithesis of American democracy.

“Civility and respect always prevails over harassment and disrespect,” Scalise, of Louisiana, tweeted Sunday evening.

Waters told a group gathered at a rally in California Sunday that they should continue to harass members of the Trump administration and to make sure Trump officials and supporters know they aren’t welcome “anymore, anywhere.”

“If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said.

WaPo Editorial Board Comes to Sanders's Defense

Leah Barkoukis  "The Washington Post editorial board came to the defense of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other Trump administration officials who have been harassed while dining out in recent days, arguing that they “should be allowed to eat dinner in peace.” 

"The incident with Sanders, in which a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, asked her to leave, “wasn’t the first time recently that strong political feelings have spilled into what used to be considered the private sphere,” the board writes. “We understand the strength of the feelings, but we don’t think the spilling is a healthy development.” 

"Part of the problem, they argue, is the “never-at-rest social media,” which “have blurred the line between work hours and private time.” 

"Other Trump administration officials have also been heckled while dining out in recent days, including Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who was accosted by socialists while eating at a Mexican restaurant, and White House senior policy advisor Stephen Miller, who was called a “fascist.” 

“ 'Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace,” the board writes. “Those who are insisting that we are in a special moment justifying incivility should think for a moment how many Americans might find their own special moment. How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families?

“ 'Down that road lies a world in which only the most zealous sign up for public service. That benefits no one." . . .

"Sen. Maxine Waters (D-CA) called for attacks against members of President Donald Trump's administration over the weekend, screaming to a group of supporters that they should not be welcomed anywhere in society."Waters' rage-filled rant reportedly happened "during a toy drive outside the Wilshire Federal Building on Saturday," according to The American Mirror."Waters, who falsely claimed that Trump was "sacrificing our children," appeared intent on inciting violence, saying, "If you think we’re rallying now, you ain’t seen nothing yet."" 'Already, you have members of your Cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants ... who have protesters taking up at their house, who say, ‘No peace, no sleep! No peace, no sleep!'” Waters continued." "God is on our side!" Waters declared."Waters then called for attacks on individual members of the Trump administration, saying, "Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.'

"Yesterday, she went too far.

"In her zeal to ramp up a partisan crowd, Waters spoke approvingly of the recent angry and threatening confrontations by the left against Trump officials in public places.  Then she took it a step farther." . . .

Liberals Are Pushing The Country To The Edge

Derek Hunter

"In a time of crazy, it’s been a Hell of a week. I literally wrote the book on the liberal outrage culture and this week disturbed even me. There are some things you simply can’t undo, some ledges you can’t pull back from. We’re teetering on one now. How can we, as a nation, get back to civility or even just get along again?

"The ability to agree to disagree is dead, murdered by leftists who demand absolute adherence to their political will or they declare you an enemy of the people and seek to destroy you. As long suspected, those “coexist” stickers on their Priuses were for show, they should read “obey” because obedience, in absolute terms, is the only acceptable way to “coexist” with the liberal mob.

"Make no mistake, this mob is not the majority, or even anywhere close to plurality, but history is littered with examples of small, committed and violent gangs of thugs obtaining power through a willingness to do anything to get it. That’s what Democrats are becoming – American Castros, Khmer Rouge, Gestapo, or whatever example you like. These are all different sides of the same “progressive” dice and liberals are gearing up to roll them.

"When the leadership of the party does not condemn mob action against a Cabinet Secretary while she’s having a meal or is at home, disrupting her entire neighborhood, the next steps are only more dangerous. And when the media willingly lies to advance the mob to those next steps, how do you pump the brakes on this runaway train?

"Time magazine used to be important, used to have standards. But when they used the picture of a little illegal alien girl who was not separated from her mother on their cover to represent all illegal alien children at the border because she was crying and perfectly fit their narrative they crossed a line. When they were informed of the fraudulent nature of the picture they chose to ignore it, choosing activism over accuracy. They chose emotion over truth. " . . .

'If You Have a Cheese Pizza...': Mulvaney Amazes Trump With Explanation of 'Ridiculous' Gov't Bureaucracy

Fox News  "Office of Management & Budget Director Mick Mulvaney gave an intricate and often eccentric explanation of redundancy and overlap in federal bureaucracy in a presentation that stunned the president and the press.

" 'I call this the 'drain the swamp' cabinet meeting," Mulvaney said, adding that it has been about 100 years since the federal government was reorganized at this scale.

"He criticized the "Byzantine nature" by which the government regulates, creating headaches for business owners, employees and taxpayers.

" 'If you have a cheese pizza, it's governed by the Food & Drug Administration. If you put a pepperoni on it, it's governed by the [Department of Agriculture]," he said.

" 'If you have a [live] chicken, it's governed by the USDA. If that chicken lays an egg, it's governed by the FDA, but if you break the egg and make an omelette, that's again governed by the USDA."

. . . "Mulvaney said the examples he gave were just a few of the impediments faced by small businesses trying to operate in compliance with the government.
"He said that is part of the reason the Departments of Education and Labor should be merged.
""They're all doing the same thing," he said, noting that both "try to get people ready for the workforce.' " . . .

Red Hen bigotry, or 'moral conviction'?

Jeannie DeAngelis  "This nation is now at a place where those who have no “moral conviction” about the things that matter view unbridled bigotry directed at conservatives as “moral conviction.” Case in point, recently, a pink pussy hat-wearing restaurant owner in Lexington, Virginia decided to expose her narrow-mindedness by asking President Trump's White House Press Secretary to leave a small chapel-like restaurant she calls the Red Hen. 

"According to the Washington Post, Stephanie Wilkinson, who loves to write, knit, community organize, and march in women’s rights parades, responded to an emergency phone call from the chef of her small veggies-from-Mexican-immigrant-run Rancho Calixto farm-to-table restaurant.

Fellowship of the Minds

"The cause for alarm was Sarah Huckabee Sanders and a small party of seven being seated and (OMG) snacking on “Cheese to You” cheese boards while waiting to be served dinner.  Wilkerson told the Washington Post that when Sanders showed up, the staff was “a little concerned,” asking her, “What should we do?”

"Not for nothing - as they say in Brooklyn - “concerned” about what?

"The ethical knitter, who was probably crafting her husband and son pink pussy hats, dropped her sustainable knitting needles and rushed down to E. Washington Street to save the day.

"Sounding like Barack Obama weaving hate into flowery rhetoric and justifying stirring racial division by painting lofty word pictures, in an article entitled: The owner of the Red Hen explains why she asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave, Avi Selk and Sarah Murray explain how while driving Stephanie mulled over the moral dilemma.

"Like a Big Hen in the little Red Henhouse, Stephanie contemplated her community’s opinions on Confederate flags, and how Sarah worked in the service of an ‘inhumane and unethical’ administration, and “publicly defended” what Wilkinson viewed were “the president’s cruelest policies.”  In the brain of the social justice warrior, “that that could not stand.” . . .
