Ken Shupe responded to a woman who was stranded on an interstate in
North Carolina on Monday. Shupe is a tow truck driver; the woman had
been involved in a wreck, according to reports.

But when Shupe arrived, he noticed something about the woman’s car —
specifically, he noticed that the woman was a supporter of Democratic
presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, according to Fox Carolina.

“Every business dealing in recent history that I’ve had with a
socialist-minded person, I haven’t got paid,� Shupe told the station.

He added: “Every time I’ve dealt with these people in recent
history, I
get ‘Berned.’

“With an ‘e,’ not a ‘u.’ �

So Shupe refused to tow her.

“He said ‘I can’t tow you, you’re a Bernie supporter,’ � the woman,
Cassandra McWade, told The Post on Thursday. “And I was like, ‘Wait,
are
you serious?’ �

He was.

Fox Carolina reported: “When he saw ‘a bunch of Bernie Sanders
stuff’ he
said he told the woman, ‘very politely,’ � that he could not “tow her
car because she was ‘obviously a socialist’ and advised her to ‘call
the
government’ for a tow.�

Attempts to reach Shupe by The Washington Post were unsuccessful
Thursday morning.

McWade — who said she had a Sanders yard sign visible in her car, as
well as a bumper sticker — said she was “totally in shock� as she
watched Shupe pull away.

“I was completely flabbergasted,� she said.
“Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said
get in the truck and leave,� Shupe told an ABC affiliate. “And when I
got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I
finally
drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.�

According to Fox Carolina, Shupe identified himself as a conservative
Christian who supports Donald Trump. McWade, however, told The Post
that
she felt he didn’t “exactly exemplify his belief.�

“You don't have to agree on anything just to be kind to one another,�
she said.

Ahh, a "conservative Christian," following the edicts of Jesus, no
doubt.

If it was a democrat refusing to tow a car with a Cruz sticker you
would be telling us how they were standing up for freedom.


I don't think that would happen, actually. It's the Christian
Conservatives who seem to comprise the majority of those who are
discriminating in this country against members of groups they don't
like.

The vast majority of boycotts and shaming campaigns that get big enough
to be heard about state-wide or nationally are usually liberals
protesting a conservative organization. And Liberals are generally more
aggressive in their protests.

Example: A Christian Conservative might disapprove of homosexuals. But
the vast majority of those that do are have a mindset of "What you do
with your body is your own business... Just don't flaunt it in my
face." Whereas the majority of liberals have a mindset of "You WILL
approve of homosexuals, you will donate to homosexual causes, and you
will say that Bruce Jenner makes a beautiful woman. If you don't, we
will drive you out of business."

Speaking generically, of course, There are extremist wackos on both
sides, but there are far more liberal wackos than conservative wackos.


I don't know any liberals who want everyone to "approve" of homosexuals,
or donate to homosexual causes, or think Jennier is a beautiful woman.
Who are know are liberals who want gays, transexuals, et cetera, to be
treated in terms of civil rights and access, like everyone else.

Then why do they go out of their way to punish those who don't approve?

As for "access," that's a ridiculous argument. The whole bathroom
debate is just stupid and illustrates my point. Men who live and dress
as women have been using women's restrooms for years, and NOBODY has
cared for the past 20 years. What's changed is now those groups insist
that everybody KNOWS and APPROVES of using those bathrooms.

I suppose some of us wonder where it ends.
Nothing seems to be too weird not to be a protected class these days.
It is transvestites and cross dressers now. What's next?
Pedophiles? They just have age dysphoria. They think they are a child,
trapped in an adult body and they want to frolic with their peers.
Flashers are just expressing that they have overcome their negative
body image issues and we should applaud them.
I don't really care either way but I am curious what the rules are.



Ask your misdescribed libertarian buddies.

My Libertarian buddies don't think any of that is any of their
business. (my opinion too)
I really do not care what people do as long as they don't bother me
with it. If you want to be gay, go for it, just keep it to yourself. I
don't want to have to explain ass chaps to my grand daughter.

And the woman is just as ridiculous for running to the news media.

This foolishness isn't even news worthy. But somebody thought it oughta be media fodder to make trump supporters look evil so...

There's no question that a significant percentage of Trump supporters
are evil haters. There's plenty of evidence for it.

By your standards more than half of the country is evil.

We should be in fear that they all vote for Trump. I am seeing more
and more people with pretty good credentials who are saying this might
really happen.
Mark Halperin (an MSNBC guy) was on Charley Rose the other night
saying this whole Trump thing is unprecedented and you would be a fool
to underestimate it.

As a history buff, I am still hoping it gets tossed to the house.
