You have it the opposite qay around. You should have said not all American rights are Constitutional rights. Which of course is true. American rights could be laws that can be changed at any time, unlike the amendments.

I never said they were. What is your point?

This subthread is about a Starbucks manager asking police officers to leave. I have already stated that I consider that very stupid. But he was exercising his American rights in doing so, just like open carry is an exercise of one's American rights.

If "American rights" are "laws that can be changed at any time", then they're nor truly "rights" at all.

While I would disagree with that sentiment, there's not a whole lot that could be done in response. Asking someone to leave and they refuse turns them into a trespasser, but in this case it's not like you can call the cops to remove these trespassers...

Hit post too soon: Which is why the cops voluntarily leaving showed they are honorable, and that the "customer's" fears were unwarranted.

I used to regularly eat at a restaurant in a bad neighborhood (by Albany standards) that regularly gave uniformed law enforcement discounts, and as a result has cops and troopers in at all hours of the day. Simply having police as regular customers is basically free armed security, no proprietor with any brains would ever make them feel unwelcome.

You could file a civil suit against the city for allowing its employees to disregard the restaurant's rules (assuming that management endorsed the stance, which it doesn't).

There are many police fearing customers.

If a cop car is parked outside a store like 7-11 or Circle K or Dunkin then some people won't go in. Cops can be bad for business.

So, let me see if I got this straight...

someone can sit in a restaurant as long as they want and not spend a penny, and it's fine, but a cop can be asked to leave the moment they walk into a room, even if they want to make a purchase?


Yeah, that's so not Kosher.

Ok, who was it, I think it was Luch, because he usually has a knack of predicting these things successfully whether you like it or not, that said that in a few years, the Stars and Stripes will be considered "no good" to display anymore? We are well on our way to this day. There's NOTHING racist about the Gadsden flag! Just because some cosplaying idiots wear the T shirt, doesn't make it so!
I also like how the article equates standing up for 2nd Amendment rights to the far right🙄🙄🙄

People are idiots.

Look at the swastika. It used to be a neutral symbol in the West, and largely associated with Hinduism or Buddhism or whatever as it presently is in places like India. Unfortunately, Nazis ruined it. Despite the ruination, in Asia, the swastika still gets used for its pre-Nazi purposes and no one complains (except Western snowflakes who travel to Asia).

What I'm saying is that the Gadsden Flag is a symbol of something worth celebrating. By letting the racists and neo-confederates have it we are losing a part of ourselves. Don't let it happen! Celebrate the Gadsden Flag!

If we boycott Israel for the injustices it has committed in Palestine, then we have to boycott China for the injustices it has committed in Tibet, Xinjiang, and many other places.

Here's the thing, though. Boycotts are a form of protected speech. The remedy for speech that is distasteful, is counterspeech. In other words, people who find Omar's remarks offensive, can speak very loudly against her at the ballot box next year.

They're also unnecessarily hobbling themselves. Their actual economic views are closer to what people actually believe, but yet they oppose "socialism" and so they think of Sanders and AOC as extreme.

I think Sanders is an actual socialist who is advocating social democracy because he believes it is beneficial and actually achievable, and does not prevent his desired socialism.
