First owner George Burnett charged liberals a dollar more than conservatives at his Vernal, Utah smoothie shop.Now, another Utah business owner--evidently inspired by that political stand--has fired two employees for supporting President Obama. And it´s all completely legal. Burnett, the owner of I Love Drilling Juice & Smoothie Bar, started charging liberals a $1 more than conservatives for his smoothies. ´They’re costing us money,´ he told The Salt Lake Tribune about his left-leaning customers. ´So it only seems fair that I charge them a little bit more.´ His menu board above the register clearly states that liberals

I do not shop at businesses whose owners or CEOs gave money to Great Leader .............
I don´t want to financially enrich them with my money.

........... I and a colleague were once thrown out of a neighborhood restaurant for being Republicans. [talking about politics amongst ourselves] ..............´I don´t serve Republicans!´

The city said it was perfectly legal.

Citizens take the initiative against socialists. Identify these bums and treat them differently. What they´re supporting is has gotten out of control completely and they needto be treated like terrorists just the way we would treat any traitor.

Well it won´t be long before other businesses charge conservatives more than liberals. Sorry, I don´t agree with this, this is just dumb and not good business.

My husband was manager of a business in CA right after his family business closed. His boss caught him listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio in the office one day, and things were never the same. My husband was eventually fired, but he won unemployment benefits. He didn´t use them long, because he got a much better job that paid about $30k/yr. more right after that. This was during the prosperous middle of the last decade. Good times.

I sort of agree with #8. First and foremost, a business is there to make money. It doesn´t matter if it is a lemonade stand or Lockheed, the goal is the same. To alienate potential customers seems like a bad idea.
That having been said, its his business and he can run it any way he wants. If it turns out he runs it unwisely, the loss will be borne by him. We call that freedom. Too bad they dont understand that in DC.

I never spend my money with a company that is liberal - period. Back in the day in Corporate America, when I was in a position to hire professionals, I would do my best not to hire liberals under any circumstances. Why put the wolf at your back door? We know they have the integrity of bilge rats, so why have them infesting your business?

I wouldn´t lose any sleep over it , #8. Contrary to the media myth, there really aren´t that many liberals in this country- especially beyond the Blue City limits. The number that will admit to it is even smaller.

I used to roughneck on oil rigs in the Vernal area during the oil boom going on at the time. They pretty much play by their own rules in the small towns around there. Some of the young, bored, rowdy locals were fond of roughing up hippies that made the mistake of stopping by on their way through Vernal. They sometimes left with a lot less hair than they arrived with.

"I Love Drilling Juice & Smoothie Bar"

Great name !

I had breakfast one Sunday in October in Vernal, talked to two gentlemen who worked for oilfield service companies.

That area is experiencing a natural gas boom, they are bringing in wells, proving them, then capping for future use as there is not enough pipeline capacity at present to utilize the output.

Unfortunately, with the boom comes the yuppie-liberal-tree hugger types.

This sounds just great to me but then I suffered in a pro-0bama, pro-gay workplace until I lost my job. The company had been quite conservative but when the 3rd generation got their hands on it, it was open season on any worker who wasn´t 110% on board the liberal bus. I don´t share other posters delicate sensibilities - this is a war and it´s about time conservatives started fighting back.

I don´t think that it is dumb at all. Have you ever tried explaining simple business economics to a lib? Their eyes glaze over & they go into "but it´s not faaairr!" mode. This might get their attention because it is cause and effect at the most basic level - the one they might understand.

While I don´t generally support being unfair to a customer, or arbitrary firing of workers, both of these businessmen make sense. The name "I Love Drilling and Juice Bar" begs the question of why any liberal/Obama supporter go in there to begin with. As for the second owner firing Obama supporters - they were lousy workers anyway (shocking!), and was probably glad for an excuse to let them go.

We need to climb down off our high horses and start going on the offensive. You can´t win using defense only. You have to push back.

We have been behaving like the British during the war for independence. We stand in formation in the middle of fields getting picked off by the Americans in the trees. All the while expressing outrage because they aren´t following the rules. Yet who won that war?

I think conservatives need to target raising revenue from liberals. I support a 50% of revenue tax on movies, video games, and music. It is only fair. Why should alcohol and tobacco bear all the burden? Why should Hollywood types live in $25 million dollar mansions with so many on Obama phones? It is not fair.

I had a co-worker in another dept next to ours who had a obama/biden bumper sticker on his car. He lost his job the week after the election!

I suggest before he drives to any job interviews he scraps off that bumper sticker.

Doing my taxes I saw that I made about $5,200 less then last year with taxes up over $2,600
Add in the cost of everything going up such as gas where we are paying more then double where I paid at least $1,200 more in gas.

I just cannot fathom how stupid anyone can be to vote in any democrat.

A heroin addict father smokes the deadly drug contentedly as his two innocent children sit watching him adoringly. The oblivious man is part of a growing epidemic in the war-torn country of Afghanistan, which has seen the number of opium and heroin addicts tripling to 150,000, according to latest United Nations Figures, while 225,000 used the drug in 2012.

On May 3 1999, Moore was one of several cities left devastated after 74 tornadoes touched down across Oklahoma and Kansas in just 21 hours. Following a path similar to yesterday´s lethal twister, the storms that struck the city 14 years ago to the month left 46 dead and 800 injured. Due to the high number of mobile homes and less robust housing in this part of the US, more than 8,000 homes were destroyed. It caused almost $1.5 billion in property damage making it the fourth costliest in the world. The National Weather Service also recorded wind speeds

Obama calls the devastation that tore through the Oklahoma City suburbs, quote, "one of the most destructive tornados in history," even though he said the extent of the damage is still unknown. Obama spoke Tuesday after an Oval Office briefing on the latest developments from his disaster response team and as Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Craig Fugate was heading to Oklahoma.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.
