Its obvious that it is the law, its also obvious to those who believe in property rights that the law is wrong.

Serve me or I'll use violence to get my way.

I agree. He probably didnt want to drive them because they were black. The hats are a lame excuse.

Anti-free market and pro-central planning.

That's how the right does it.

Yes it is. The "real world" (the State) is nothing more than a fantasy world in and of itself. The only law that matters is natural law.

Property rights are absolute.

It must be the driver's "sincere religious belief" to refuse service to conservatives. After all, political affiliation is not a protected class. You can't have it both ways, dear Pilgrim. Either a person can refuse service or they can't.

Don't like Uber's anti-MAGA policy, use another ride share or other form of transportation.
It's so obvious.

All Statists know is coercion and violence. It's the only way they can get their point across.

Become the victim. It is how they try and control conservatives. They are finding out that they can't control conservatives and it is driving them into a frenzy.

"Other than"? One is enough but there are plenty more. The link below is a good summary of a few cases.

The couple didn't want just "anything", they wanted a cake that celebrated their marriage and were denied because of religious bigotry. Someone who chooses to do business with the public should not have the option of dictating his religious beliefs to his paying customers. If he wishes to discriminate like that then he should rethink owning a business that deals with the public.

Looks like we will be forced to add political affiliation to the discrimination list due to behavior presented. Who knew we'd start discriminating against people who support a president? You could have never dreamed this up in America but now that we know we need to add it so people can stop being harassed and live their lives in this country the same as everyone else.

My thoughts exactly. Had they been wearing Hillary or Obama shirts, how many people on the left would be questioning whether this was racially motivated?

But that racial ammo is only reserved for people who disagree with their politics.
