Just as A&E seriously violated the First Amendment rights of Phil Robertson, country singer Toby Keith is infringing on the Second Amendment rights of the customers of his restaurant. Keith posted a sign on the front door of his new eatery that states, NO GUNS PERMITTED. NO GUNS!!!!???? What gall! It is the right of citizens in Virginia to open carry weapons, and Toby Keith has no right to stop this in his establishment. No business owner should be permitted to commit such an act. Gun totin Virginians should unite and force the singer to accept the violence of human nature, and make him responsible for the civil litigation that will come when some drunk in his restaurant shoots another patron(s). In Virginia, the rights of innocent bystanders are of no importance, as it should be. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...maing-grid7|maing17|dl1|sec1_lnk3&pLid=424314
You realize nobody takes your trolling serious. Toby Keith or any other establishment. that bans guns on their premise isn't violating anyone's rights. Nobody is forcing anyone to eat at these places. Get a grip.
Then why were you right-wingers screaming and shouting about A&E's violating Phil Robertson's freedom of speech?
? I don't know, I'm not a spokesperson for rightwing people, A&E didn't violate anyone's rights. Homeboy said stuff that pissed off the hyper sensitive crowd, so they caved. Then more people got pissed that A&E caved, so they caved again. This was never a fight about freedom of speech, it was a battle of opinion, and the crybaby crowd lost.
Actually this statement is not possible....the 1st amendment doesn't protect you from consequences of your speech unless it is the government trying to stop you from speaking Nope the 2nd also protects you from your government. Except when you choose to walk onto someone else's property. Yeah try that.
That could be it. I just thought that since their great leader went on vacation their collective mindset was discombobulated so they scurried like rats over to huffpo eagerly seeking validation of facts known not to be.
That makes no sense. If it is his business he should be able to set the rules. This isnt like the leftist nanny staters and their no smoking in bars agenda, it is his place he sets the rules. - - - Updated - - - You realize he is a fellow leftist and wants government control of everything right?
Exactly Yeah, someone who's a conservative Democrat who supported George Bush in 2004 and then left the Democratic Party to register as an independent......doesn't sound like much of a leftist to me.
I know of no one in this forum saying that. I see Conservatives saying the opposite. You may be having a problem understanding what is being written, however.
They didn't like what Obama supporter Paula Deen said either. Does this mean they've started eating their own?
The right-wingers' responses to the OP were predictable. They used the very same arguments to justify Toby Keith's "no gun" policy, that people of reason used to explain A&E's right to muzzle Phil Robertson. It is proof that some right wingers ARE able to learn.
Just a thought. You probably don't own a gun or eat at his restaurant. Just as you probably didn't watch Duck Dynasty. So again, how does this affect you? Just looking for something to be offended by, huh? When are you guys going to wake up and realize that this is your passion? You live to be offended. It feels good to you. So you chase it everywhere you can find it. This is Christmas to you guys. "Yay! Something new to get pissed off about!" Enjoy your gift.
i wish he'd put a weight limit on the damn mechanical bull....but on the other hand, watch 3 drunk chicks being thrown at the same time is it's own kinda special.
Only problem is I'm not seeing any outrage. Go figure. Even the huffpo article doesn't have any outrage. Go figure. It shouldn't be this hard to admit failure for you guys. Huffpo does that to people.
But you are a leftist to me. Maybe a centrist everywhere else, but one day when you are like me and always on the right side of an issue everyone who isn't also correct will also appear to be hardcore leftist.
