http://www.newser.com/story/161035/utah-smoothie-shop-charges-liberals-more.html?utm_source=part&utm_medium=united&utm_campaign=rss_3_2(Newser) A Utah businessman is winning both fans and foes in his community with an interesting rule at his smoothie shop: Liberals must pay an extra $1. George Burnett, who first became famous in Vernal by walking around with a sandwich board reading, "Honk If You (Heart) Drilling" to advertise his first business, donates the proceeds from the liberal "tax" to conservative organizations including the Heritage Foundation, reports KSL.com.

(11,076 posts)Sounds like our local coffee shop in the heart of the village. This guy prints off propaganda material about how the Founding Fathers designed the US to be a Christian nation. Places it on the counter for all to see. That was the last day he made a penny off of me.
Talk with the money folks. Don't do business with ignorant fools.

(11,076 posts)We would ask permission to post our peace vigil information on the bulletin board and then the info would be gone the next day. The sad thing is that this is a village. Before people like this moved in we could go to the church we wanted..or not, be a free thinker, wear tie dye shirts. We all were free to be! Now we have this guy right in the heart of the village.
Times and people change that is all I can say. I will tell you that we don't spend a dime in his establishment any more

And I doubt he donates a dime to anyone.
I hope his business goes down soon.
