2A- and 10A-friendly auto shops in C Springs?

[Aloha_Shooter]

So in the wake of Obama's reelection, I've decided to rehab my current 13-year-old convertible rather than buy a new model. I don't really like the body lines or pricetags of newer models and I'm just not willing to purchase from Government Motors or Chrysler right now anyway. I also prefer to do business with a shop that's 2A- and 10A-friendly (i.e., if I see a single Obama bumper sticker in the owner/employee parking lot, I'm driving out).

My Sebring needs new leather upholstery, cloth roof and could stand to renew the paint job. Only one dent that I care about so while appreciate the craftsmanship some shops put into their work, it's not something I want to spend a ton of money on. Bill would be paid in cashier's or personal check -- this isn't an insurance job, really just wanting to replace the scuffed leather, worn foam and frayed roof edges.

Any recommendations in C Springs?

Not in the Springs, but I can help you in Denver.Spent a lot of years in restoration, and have the resources up here for a solid job at a decent price. And yeah, I am ummm.... more than 2A friendly.

Was just browsing through the Ammendment pages on Wikipedia, and saw this quote on 10A, which I think you'll appreciate,

"After the Constitution was ratified, some wanted to add a similar amendment limiting the federal government to powers "expressly" delegated, which would have denied implied powers. However, the word "expressly" ultimately did not appear in the Tenth Amendment as ratified, and therefore the Tenth Amendment did not reject the powers implied by the Necessary and Proper Clause."

Well, that was an unfortunate oversight.

So just to be clear, they also can't be 1A friendly? (They won't allow employees to put a bumper sticker of their choice on their car)

I know aspen auto clinic is pretty 2A friendly from everything I've heard, or at least some of their locations are, but thats general auto repair.

I have an O'bummer sticker on my truck. Keeps the neighbors guessing, and it is funny. I made the choice to quit putting pro 2nd amendment stickers on too. NRA life member. Or a guy might be driving his mom's car.

How do you get that? You're always free to express your opinion and I'm free to take my dollars elsewhere if that opinion offends me. Anyone who supported Obama doesn't need my trade.

You said that you would leave if you saw a obama sticker in the owner/employee parking lot. This means that you think that employers either shouldn't hire people who support a different political opinion or that the employer should tell his employees not to place obama stickers on their car (which both would limit the employees free speech or be an invasive application question).

The above states how you would not be supporting people's first amendment rights, which I found ironic since you want to go to a place that strongly supports the second and tenth amendments. I guess I assumed that you wanted a place that supported the constitution but what you wanted was a place that supports parts of the constitution (and not others), that my bad.

His right to do business with whomever he chooses. If he went over and ripped off the Obama sticker, thats a possible free speech violation. If he sees the sticker on the car in the parking lot, turns around and drives away, thats probably just sound judgement, but in any case its his freedom to choose.
Liberal sonsofbitches quite often whine about representations of Conservatism in public- like the Bible or religious items, 2A stickers on the front window, etc. and often publicly boycott or otherwise harass such businesses.

How about you go ahead and read what I actually said. I did not accuse him of violating the first amendment nor did I say to not boycott a business based on how employees have exercised their first amendment rights. I am simply saying that doing business based on how employees use their first amendment rights does not support of the first amendment.
