Oops, s’cuse me, I forgot to use the shitlib-approved nomenclature: Xtianists.
Seattle-area ‘Coffee with a Cop’ event canceled after shop owner’s Christian views attract LGBTQ backlash
Pilgrim Coffeehouse owner says city sent ‘opposite’ message about inclusivity by canceling eventA Seattle suburb canceled its upcoming “Coffee with a Cop” event after it faced protests because of the coffee shop owner’s Christian beliefs.
Seattle radio host Jason Rantz reported that the city of Shoreline, Washington, canceled the community event, which aims to strengthen the relationship between police officers and residents, after the city’s Facebook page was flooded with negative comments from liberals upset that Pilgrim Coffeehouse would host the event.
Pilgrim Coffeehouse is owned by Keith Carpenter, head pastor of Epic Life Church. The church states it believes marriage is between “one man and one woman” on its website.
Commenters vowed to hold a protest and one even called for the coffee shop to leave the city, saying that Carpenter’s views on marriage did not align with the progressive city’s ideals.
In response to the backlash, Shoreline abruptly canceled the event, Rantz reported.
“It was neither the department’s nor the City’s intent to make any community member feel unwelcome based on the selection of the event venue and the values that the venue may or may not hold. When planning future events, we will be more intentional with our venue selection,” Shoreline City Hall wrote in a March 12 statement posted to Facebook.
Francis picks up the ball and scampers towards the end zone with it.
I would expect more from our supposed guardians and enforcers of justice. But apparently, crossing the Left is simply too risky for such brave souls.
At the time of the Founding, James Madison expressed the opinion that the best protection any sect in America has against persecution is the numerousness of sects. Of course, Madison lived at a time when virtually everyone in the nation was either some variety of Christian, or favorably disposed toward Christianity in general. He did not foresee the arrival of pseudo-religions such as Islam and Progressivism.
(To those who are about to prattle about the Westboro Baptists, note this: there are no reported cases of any Westboro Baptist allegiant doing harm to anyone else. They protest, weakly though somewhat offensively. But they have yet to make any event impossible to run or attend.)
It begins to look as if a pushback against such “activism” is required.
Don’t it, though. Don’t it just. This bit really frosts my nuts:
A spokesperson for the City of Shoreline told Fox News Digital, “The City is committed to being a welcoming place for all people, no matter who they are or what they believe.”
Uhhh huh. Long as “what they believe” isn’t Xtianist, looks like.

I really do wish we could separate these assholes from the rest of America and let them live in the shitholes the want and deserve.
The only downside I see is the cost of the fencing required to keep them out once they realize how poorly they have chosen.
I live in Topeka where Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church were – and pehaps still are – since his death I haven’t seen them much. People have the idea that Fred was somehow a conservative and a Republican, but he wasn’t, he was a big contributor to the Democratic Party, he gave enough to be a Friend of Bill (Clinton) and spent a night in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House. He also ran for US Senate as a Democrat from Kansas, and of course did not win. Kansas may have Democrat governors from time to time, otherwise it’s a Republican state, the only time a Democrat won Kansas’ presidential electors was in 1936. Trump won the state in 2016, 2020, and 2024 by nearly a 2 to 1 margin. And he did his best to disrupt the funerals of Kansans who died in the Gulf Wars, one of his favorite tricks was to loudly yell that he was glad that they were dead and in Hell – all while grinding an American flag into the dirt with his shoes. That pissed a lot of people off, but that’s why he did it – every time someone attacked him, he’d sue in a court that would award him huge damages – qnd he’d collect. If whoever wrote that article you quote knew that, they might not like Mr Phelps too much.
I joined the Patriot Guard Riders and made “protection” runs with them a cpl-three times specifically because of that asshole Phelps and what his asshole group were doing.
