DQ sign at door "politically incorrect" statement from resentful rural Americans?

Other business owners in town say they support Scheunemann’s right to run his business the way he sees fit. “He posted it on the door so you see it before you walk in,” said April Serwe, who owns local bar PJ Magoos. “You don’t have to walk in if you don’t agree with it.”

Funny, that kind of logic never came up for anti-union conservatives applying for a job at a union shop. “You don’t have to walk in…” right? But hey, it’s a phony divisive values issue:

In fact, some people in town told us there isn’t even a need for a sign like that — because most residents in Kewaskum share the same values. “In this small community, I don’t think it’s a problem,” said resident Liz Torrison. “We’re all just liking each other and having fun.”

It’s fun targeting and trashing liberals in a completely phony cartoonish way.

Dairy Queen sent us this statement in response: “American Dairy Queen Corporation does not encourage our independently owned and operated franchisees to post non-business related messages in their locations or on their external reader boards. This sign expresses the views of this independent owner only and does not speak for ADQ Corporation or any of our other independent franchise owners. We expect our franchisees and employees to treat every person who walks through our doors with the utmost dignity and respect. Nothing less is acceptable.”

Let’s have a “conversation?” Boy, I can’t tell you how tired I am of this new talking point, “let’s have a conversation.” It basically allows bigots, racist and religious zealots to make everyone have a conversation about their loathsome bigotry, racism and religious zealotry, without every changing anything.

But Scheunemann, who also happens to be the Kewaskum Village President, says he’s happy to sit down and have a conversation with anyone to make them feel comfortable about what the sign says.
