Miguel made a post yesterday about Ellen’s restaurant making an anti-gun statement during the NRA AM.

Well, this story made it’s way around the internet and some people on twitter decided to support Ellen’s.

They should serve the NRA some "Southern Blood-Splattered Biscuits n Gravy"!

Because NRA members do the killing?  No.  It’s because the Goebbels Jr. and the Parkland SS say so.  Jonz here is also an insane Trump/Russia conspiracy theorist, so you know his opinions are well grounded in fact.

“NRA members are racist.”  That is so played out it’s boring.  Makes me wondered how many NRA members are going to see Colion Noir’s speech, I bet that room is empty.  No, it will be PACKED.

All this tweet says is “I am an anti gun owner bigot.”

Great work Ellen's!! And thanks to @toothcriminal's tweet I'm sure you can expect lots of new customers!! #TerroristNRA #WakeUpAmerica #GunSense #GunControl #ChildrenBeforeGuns #SaveOurChildren pic.twitter.com/GKII08DWUL

There was the mass stabbing in China in 2014 that killed twice as many people as the Parkland shooting.  Or the one a few days ago that killed seven students in a school.  Or the mass stabbing in a school in Japan that killed eight.  So yes, I’ve heard of knife massacres.

Also, no.  I don’t expect a lot of new customers.  It is easy to virtue signal on twitter, it’s much harder to put your money where you tweet is.  Just ask Dick’s about that.  Delta too.  Soon we’ll hear how Yeti is being affected from taking a giant shit on their main customer base.

I doubt many people are going to go out the their way to visit Ellen’s to support their anti-gun message.

Again, I doubt the restaurant is doing better business.  But the small penis rub is a nice touch.  Haven’t seen that since… yesterday.

Also not burning people alive, chopping off heads and hands, throwing gays off buildings, or doing anything else like that.  Makes you wonder why they would compare us to ISIS when they spend so much time apologizing for Islamic Terrorists.

I guess when you side with a President who was mentored by a domestic terrorist who thought of himself as a freedom fighter for bombing the Pentagon, Americans who want to be left alone to peacefully enjoy their Constitutionally protected rights must be the enemy.

If you support your own 2nd Amendment rights, but balk at Ellen’s 1st Amendment rights, you should think about how much lip service you’re actually paying the Bill of Rights. (Not saying you should eat there, just suggesting you’re a bit lopsided)

None of us are balking at Ellen’s First Amendment rights.  In fact we are glad she did what she did.  It means we know not to spend money there.  It would be worse for us if we did and she did the anti-gun thing in secret.

She said something we disagree with so we feel no need to give her our business.

But these people are part of the “bake the cake, bigot” crowd.  In their mind me must be compelled to buy food from Ellen’s or else we are violating her free speech rights.

I have a feeling that Ellen’s is going to go under.  The restaurant game operates on thin margins.  In a place like Texas this won’t soon be forgotten.  Not just will she not see a surge in business from the NRA AM, the locals will remember what she did and avoid her in perpetuity.

If she does fold, I guarantee you we will be held liable for it because not spending money at a place you don’t agree with is some sort of evil act.

I’ll tell you, in my opinion, who should be the most pissed.

Ellen’s waitstaff.  I worked in the restaurant and catering business.  Waitstaff fight over prime time during conventions and tourist season.  A convention can bring in huge money in tips.  Forget Ellen for a moment, how does the waitstaff feel about this making the rounds and not having the convention business to boost tips?  Ellen not just shot herself the foot but blew the toes off her waitstaff as well.

Maybe the harpies of Moms Demand Action will take a road trip to Ellen’s.  I just don’t see that happening.  I do see Ellen’s not being there a year from now, because as I keep seeing in the comments: go woke, go broke.
