In any other context, conservatives would stand behind a business’s right to make these decisions.

...he is comparing to Nazis an organization that has not, even during the worst moments of civil unrest, murdered more than 6 million people...

Cool music on Kinja makes me miss DUAN.

Thanks, discovering him now, so mellow.

But I bet they put on a shirt and shoes when entering a restaurant, or adhere to the dress code of the club they want to enter, because in THOSE cases they understand that an establishment can ask people entering to dress/behave a certain way...
