"On Saturday, the group said the sit-in was a little tense at the beginning, but as more and more people ordered coffee, the mood lightened."
See how its done Libs? No violence, no hatred, no lies, no Bloody Presidents heads, no cursing, no fetal position crying, no blood in the streets like at your protests. Just people voicing their opinion and drinking coffee, while the shop made money.
That is how Conservatives roll. We call it acting "Human Like".
Swish, I understand where you are coming from. However, I am twice your age and have learned a few things along the way. This is not a criticism. Just advice. I fully understand that you probably won't accept it, but I still have high hopes for you and will keep trying...
Think about this for a minute, little bro...........You hated how they acted. You thought they were completely unfair. It probably drove you nuts that they wouldn't even give your guy a chance. You probably thought they were narrow-minded, hateful, and ignorant. You probably thought they were trouble makers that were not good for the progress of our country.
Are those the people you want to emulate, Swish? Do you wish to be viewed the same way by someone who might be younger/more easily influenced than you are?
Is that the role model you want to be for your daughters?
Swish, it takes an extremely big man to buck the trend and blaze his own ground. It takes someone special to break the trend and add to the light. Anyone can make noise, little bro.
I love your anger. I love your passion. I love your convictions. I am just hoping you use those gifts to make a difference and inflict change rather than waste it all and follow the lead of the ignorant, hateful souls that pollute our earth.
I still believe in you. If I didn't, I wouldn't waste my time!
While I do agree with you that reporting that some people feel this way is something we all should be aware of, you'll never see this source quoting white supremacists. I think the larger story is that this is a story from a one sided web site that will never give you both sides of a story. But then again most web sites are that way no matter which side they take.
It's a sad state of affairs but unfortunately if you want to post a story like this, it has to come from a website like this... because the left leaning websites won't run it
Trump supporters hold sit-in at North Carolina Starbucks after woman mocked for shirt
Trump supporters flooded a North Carolina Starbucks on Saturday for a sit-in after they said a woman was mocked for wearing T-shirt supporting the president.
The group, wearing some Trump T-shirts and carrying signs, entered the Starbucks on East Boulevard in Dilworth, a neighborhood in Charlotte.
They told Fox 46 Charlotte it was to support Hart, who was reportedly mocked by a barista for wearing some Trump apparel a few days before.
“They shouted out 'build a wall' and shoved a drink at me and then all the baristas in the back started cracking up laughing,” she told Fox 46 Charlotte.
The group called it “unfortunate” and “very heartbreaking.”
“At all cost, we have to rise above any opposition or anybody that treats us poorly. Somebody says something, please ignore it. Don’t engage in it,” Sean Kilbane told Fox 46 Charlotte. “Just be proud to be wearing the Trump attire, pins, stickers, hats that we have, that we live in a great country, that we have the ability to go into this establishment.”
Starbucks issued a statement apologizing to the woman and said they planned to speak with the store, the station reported.
On Saturday, the group said the sit-in was a little tense at the beginning, but as more and more people ordered coffee, the mood lightened.
“I gave them the name Trump and they did. They were very gracious about it,” Shellie Anderson told the station. “We just wanted to reverse the little negativity. So we did it.”
Anderson added: “It’s really good to come together and take something negative and just come in here and be respectful.”
See more cult-like activity. If liberals do this they would be interfering with that poor business owners god given right to make a living. They would be crucified in the conservative press, yet this not only gets a pass, it's applauded. More double standards.
Personally I'm fine with this protest but I had to point out the hypocrisy.
If liberals did this they would have broken the windows and stolen the coffee, then moved on to the store right beside it that had nothing to do with it. And a lawsuit designed to put them out of business for having different views would have hit soon after, followed by campus boycotts and mass media hysteria....
And right leaning news sources don't report negative stories about the alt-right. It's a two way street.
The only major news outlet in America that leans Right is Fox. You comparing that to the power of Left Leaning NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, The NYTimes, The Washington Post, etc is slanted.
Breitbart, Infowars and I could name others. It seems your list was incomplete.
You're comparing Breitbart and Infowars to the major networks and 2 of the most widely read newspapers in the country?
Breitbart is lucky to get 10 million clicks a month... the NY Times has 300 million paid subscribers...
breitbart is mainstream. has been since last year. infowars has a billion total views, and is GAINING support.
the blaze was starting to become mainstream until Tomi Lahren got fired.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I'm listing right wing media sources. And since many on the right only listen to these sources and FOX and attack every other news source, I think it's appropriate.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Round and round.
Many/most on the "left" discount anything other than cnn, msnbc, cbs, abc, nbc etc.
Count me as one that doesn't watch ANY of them. Or follow ANY of them. (fox included).
That doesn't make me good, bad, or indifferent by the way.
I read, a lot. And seldom do I believe everything I read.
i find it hilarious how all these new outlets seemed to be labeled liberal media, and only a handful of conservative news outlets that y'all happen to agree with isn't mainstream.
i wasn't aware than ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN were "liberal"
but i guess anything that isn't agreement with you guys is considered liberal.

It's pretty easy to go to any of these websites and read 10-12 titles of articles that are usually down the right side... and tell immediately which way they lean.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

Not exactly but sort of. I make no apologies for being conservative and when I watch a news source and they are consistently opposed to my views in favor of the democratic agenda... then yea, I consider them liberal.
but if you're gonna chalk everything up to liberal news outlets when they write articles against your views, even though they write plenty of articles that blast liberals or dems, then don't say a word when i chalk conservative policies as anti-minority, conservative news sites as borderline line racist and such, or if anybody else does it.
if that's your standard, then i'll set the views based on it.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Don't set any standards based on me.. I'm not that important.
I read articles like everybody else. I don't believe it based on whether or not it agrees with my opinions, I read it for information and see if it reinforces my opinions or causes me to rethink my opinions.. that's what real journalism is supposed to do..
The "liberal" part of mainstream journalism is not usually in the story covered or even in the conclusion it reaches but in the way the articles are written..... that is where you find the consistent leanings.
that's very vague of you, but whatever. i never known, or seen any evidence that would suggest networks not named MSNBC were liberal.
especially CNN. they wouldn't shut up about how crap obama's policies were while he was president.
but a lot of you guys seem to have short term memory. just because these networks are slamming trump now doesn't mean they are liberal.
you guys have used the phrase when it comes to government "meet the new boss, same as the old one".
yet somehow that can't apply when it comes to mainstream news outlets? why can't it be that the media saw one not so great administration (in their views) swap to yet another not so great to borderline crap administration?
that's why these conversations are so annoying. you guys seem to completely go Ray charles when its pointed out that these same mainstream outlets were blasting the obama administration left and right.
living in the now instead of the big picture. but hey, whatever floats your boat.

That's because the nuance of slanted journalism is very vague.. I'm talking about the mainstream, not the ones that are unapologetic agenda pushers.

I guess a lot of it is about perspective then.. because I don't remember the mainstream media being all that hard on Obama.. seemed to me that their biggest criticism of Obama was that he didn't fight hard enough against Republicans. I honestly do not remember them being overly critical of his policies except, occasionally, stating that they didn't go far enough.
Rep. Steve Scalise re-admitted to intensive care unit
Doctors at MedStar Washington Hospital Center have downgraded the condition of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., from "fair" to "serious" because he has contracted an infection, the hospital announced Wednesday.
Scalise "has been readmitted to the Intensive Care Unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center due to new concerns for infection," the hospital said in a statement. "His condition is listed as serious.
Doesnt surprise me that disgusting liberals would do this. They are the party of violence when they dont get their way.
Police arrest man for allegedly threatening Sen. Flake's staff
Law enforcement officials arrested a man Thursday who allegedly made threatening comments toward Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake's staff that referenced the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
The Pima County Sheriff's office confirmed that Mark Prichard, 59, was arrested on Thursday at Flake's Tucson office.
According to an aide to Flake, Prichard told a staffer:
"You know how liberals are going to solve the Republican problem? ... They are going to get better aim. That last guy tried, but he needed better aim. We will get better aim."
The statement was an apparent reference to the June 14 shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va., where Scalise, R-La., and four others were shot by gunman James T. Hodgkinson, who was fatally shot by Capitol Police.
Flake, R-Ariz., was on the baseball field that day.
I was always a liberal. Hated idiots like Rush making fun of liberals. Never understood why the word "liberal" was used in such derogatory tone. Look up the word in the dictionary and tell me what is wrong w/that term.
But now............it almost seems the left is the new right. Closed-minded. Violent. Whiny. Vindictive.
It's embarrassing for a long-term liberal such as myself. The new liberals seem to have this mindset:
"Be open minded to our ideas and ideals or we will ridicule, attack, and mock you endlessly........and we might even shoot you for not being open minded like us."
Seriously! Are you kidding me!
And no, my rant is not a positive vote towards Conservatives. Y'all are still who you have always been and it's not pretty.
I have stated a few times that their attitude of hate and intolerance combined with the way they cover their faces on the streets has made them the new KKK in my book.
All these years you Libs been telling me how wrong my hooded good ole boys were and now you are they.
It is sad that this is happening. Both parties are and have been receiving death threats and it's been happening for a long time. Neither side has the market cornered on nut jobs.
Racist death threats follow Green's call for Trump impeachment
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
that being said, i wouldn't be upset if the court decided to put the shooter to death. completely uncalled for and absolutely appalling.

The shooter died of his injuries didn't he?
i dunno i haven't been keeping up with this story. the only thing i knew was he was in custody.
if he did, good riddance.
