Here at the Ferrerman Blog we proudly present a new feature that (so far) we will call, "Get a load of THIS asshole!" unless we think of another name. I almost put a comma in there, one that wouldn't be necessary unless I was specifically addressing a specific dedicated non-reader or two. English is a wonderful language. I speak and write it better than most do but sometimes the mechanics part of it- the rules- gives me pause. I'd feel shame but, I've read the comments and posts of some of my fellow citizens and, I think I might be a Rhodes Scholar.
Anyhoo, get a load of THIS, asshole!

Nice, eh? Do you know that Ron and Rand Paul might support him on this? I don't know that they've been asked about this particular jamoke but I know that Rand Paul has publicly said that- in his opinion as a Libertarian- a business has a right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, that the right of the individual supersedes that of society. Thus, the lunch counters of the old south should not have been integrated and, by the way, Civil Rights were unnecessary too? You know a nation of 310 million people ought to be able to do whatever the fuck they want to do, whenever there is a black democrat in The White House. Whenever there is an "R" in there or, God forbid an "L", this doesn't apply however.
But, this prick has evidently been doing this for 44 years. In Oklahoma, it must be hard to notice these things being so close to Texas. Let's say for argument's sake that hatred for blacks and gays is pretty generic, acceptable hatred. Lots of people hate them so, big deal. That's BIGOTRY 101. I'm curious about the hatred for disabled folks. There's thousands of ways to become disabled. Many of them are pretty goddamn heroic too. I'd like to see him refuse service to a Marine who may have lost his legs in Afghanistan. He seems like a tough, old fuck but I bet he'd back down. Probably spit in the guys food though. The guy makes no apparent distinction as to how patrons became disabled.
This reminds me of the internet meme about the old lady who gets pulled over by a cop and he notices she has a gun. And then she reveals another gun and then another. And the cop, shocked, says to her: "Ma'am, what are you afraid of?" And the old lady replies, "Nothing!"
Except this old bastard seems to be afraid of everyone. He's one slip and fall or one car wreck away from being barred from his own dive. And hey- for all we know one dick away too.

His customers ought to be ashamed of themselves but I'm sure the majority keep going back because they agree with his beliefs. How good can the food be? To support that kind of hate is pretty fucked up in itself, but I'm sure they find comfort in each other's company. They probably go home to belch, fart and post more of their warped-ass 'truth' on Topix.

He's not much on customer loyalty when he turns away a regular like that fella in the wheel chair. I wish that man had said how he came to be disabled- though it doesn't matter. The customers who do put up with his smiling hate are cowards themselves. He doesn't mind serving them, his own kind...

GawdAlmighty, Ferreman! You've had your fingers and gray matter quite busy here in recent days.
When I waited tables I had the Riley girls send me all the "freaks." They were the best tippers
I'm having tomato soup for lunch
The "Riley" girls? Elaborate please?
I worked for Greeks at one point and, as The Eagles related, "The Greeks don't want no freaks."
I'll try the tomato soup. Nice day for it!
Batbi, one of my many pleasures tending bar was refusing service to assholes. We had to be judicious about it (it was a business) but there comes a time when some people just wanna ruin it for everybody else. "Be nice...until it's time to not be nice...."
Don't forget which state this deals with. Oklahoma puts to death more people per capita than any other state. Even Texas. One of the questions on their jury questionnaire used to be, "With the knowledge that the defendant, if found guilty, will receive the death penalty, even though he/she might be found unfit to understand the charges against them due to mild, moderate or severe mental retardation, have an adverse effect on your ability to judge the case solely on the evidence?"
Here's another mind blower. Oklahoma is the only state in the nation that sells "Alien abduction insurance". That's alien as in "little green space critters" and not aliens from south of the border.
Want more? Even though Oklahoma abolished slavery in their state, the portion of the slavery laws as to what your rights were on how you could treat them, was not removed from the books. So, by law, you can actually whip your black employees if they displease you.
This idiot, aka asshole, and his customers doesn't surprise me in the least. Given that they tried to do away with the teaching of how gravity works in favor of "god created it this way", nothing about Oklahoma surprises me anymore.
I believe Emma meant "O'Reiley girls"
@Cindy: That makes more sense!
@Richard: That's some wild legal interpretation on their part! Maybe they'll join Texas in secession?
