Every now and then Gutfield picks a word that should be banned! Today, I'm picking the word OFFENDED for this reason.

Remember when I posted about Eitan Chitayat's latest column, (http://chicksontheright.com/posts/item/26348-make-some-noise)about how important it is to stay angry, stay vigilant and above all else, be aware of the destruction of the American way of life, our melting pot, by radical people who wish us evil?
Yeah. Here's an example of Americans doing the exact opposite. (http://www.wptz.com/news/vermont-new-york/burlington/advertisement-removed-after-resident-expresses-offense/27693396#!bJq0zl)
According to that sourcelink, owners of Sneakers Bistro in Winooski Circle, Vermont, did a little gardening on some city flower beds. The city has a program in place ("Operation Bloom") which allows business owners to do a little landscaping and earn the right to advertise/post signs on the plot of land they landscape. It's kinda awesome, really. So Sneakers gardened, and chose to display a sign which read, "Yield for Sneakers Bacon."
No big deal, right? I mean, bacon exists (thankfully). A lot of people eat it. I'm guessing it's a popular item at Sneakers Bistro. But because some Muslim chick on an internet forum wrote that the sign was "insensitive" to people who don't consume pork, and that AS a Muslim, she's offended by the sign, Sneakers took it down. They completely caved.
The owners told a local news station that they PROACTIVELY reached out to the Muslim chick to tell her that they'd be removing the sign, that they regretted the harm CAUSED by the sign, and that they never wanted to cause stress or bad feelings.
You guys, we are talking about the WORD "bacon" here. This Muslim woman was offended because she saw the word bacon on a sign. Does she protest every grocery store? Does she protest every farm? And if she took the time to whine about the HORROR of seeing the word "bacon" on a small yard sign, I'm just curious - did she express any outrage about the video of James Foley being beheaded in the name of HER FREAKING RELIGION? Did she speak out about that? Or was she too busy trying to turn an American city into a shadow of its former self?
Sneakers' owners say their goal is to provide "a joyful place for the entire community." I call BS. Their goal is obviously to be cowardly idiots who don't even realize their own first amendment rights.
This is what I mean by not allowing the infiltration of evil into our society, you guys. This is how that starts. And you can call me bigoted or reactionary or paranoid or whatever you want, but I SEE what's happening to the UK for the sake of appreciating diversity and multiculturalism. There are now three times as many Brits serving in freaking ISIS as there are in the UK military. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2730602/The-homegrown-jihadists-fighting-ISIS-How-one-four-foreigners-signed-Islamic-State-British-half-ALREADY-UK.html) Do people not GET that?!?
So frankly, I hope Sneakers bistro gets so much bad press over this that they are forced out of business. I hope those gutless, cowardly owners realize that they are contributing to the destruction of their own country. They just squelched their OWN constitutional rights because some idiotic hosebeast didn't like a WORD.
If this pisses you off like it does me, and you'd like to tell Sneakers how you feel, you can write them at info@sneakersbistro.com. Or call them at 802.655.9081.
I sent email expressing my displeasure with their decision.
