while I understand the concept of free speech, I think a cafe should just be a cafe and not make political statements. But that's just me.

However - if they do make a statement they, their family, or their employees should not have to suffer death threats either.

Isn't it enough to just eat somewhere else if you object.

I keep asking this, but what the hell is wrong with people?

An Arizona was forced to close its doors indefinitely this week after a politically charged Facebook post the eatery’s owners wrote prompted mass criticism from social media users.

Christopher Smith and Jay Warren, the owners of Cup it Up American Grill in Tucson, posted a statement on the restaurant’s social media page last week with a list of things the two support and resent, including the president kneeling for the anthem and late night hosts, Vice News reported. source

But what I really find appalling is the number of violent and ugly commenters calling them "racists" and threatening violence against them.

Nothing they said is the least bit racist. They didn't say they wouldn't serve black, green, or orange people. They didn't say they wouldn't sell food to registered democrats. They even specifically said they were against hate crimes and hate groups.

Is "racist" some sort of default position for anyone who doesn't agree with you?

Here's what they said:

Please point out the racism to me. Thank you in advance...

Facecrap Assault

And check out this woman who just attacked me on my Facebook page - a woman I don't even know, in response to my last post on Hillary Clinton. I have deleted the names of my friends and replaced them with question marks to protect their privacy.

She has since deleted her parting shot. I guess the irony finally got to her. And guess what??? Her Facecrap page has disappeared too.

(?) Heard a rumor she might become a professor at some snowflake university. Ain't that precious?

Adrienne Streeter Patrica - that is a ridiculous, inflammatory, and unnecessary thing to say to anyone -let alone someone you don't know. Didn't you just complain about the negativity of Facebook? Why don't you try begging God's forgiveness for being a negative busy body.

Patricia Gonzalez look in the mirror, Adrienne -- describing yourself -- you're describing yourself, a nasty name-caller -- typical Trump troll! I'm no snowflake, but you, madam are what you describe me as being -- I'm expressing my opinion in a free country - and I despise Trump and what he is doing to the US, simply because he is a vindictive egomaniac ripping up any good thing done by his predecessor -- gotta teach them uppity guys a lesson, doncha know! Now bugger off and let me get back to my crossword!And BTW, you spelled my name wrong!
