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. |

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. I don't know about that. Saw a report about which "side" has interrupted political rallies and town halls during the primary campaigns. Records show the left interrupts and/or hold protests at Republican candidate gatherings far more than the right does to the Democratic candidates. Report came from MSNBC ... a liberal leaning media outlet. Political protest is as 'Merican as apple pie. It is the Conservative Christians who are refusing tow truck service, who are refusing to issue marriage licenses, who are refusing to bake cakes, supply flowers, who are discriminating. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
