Philly Bar Angering Liberals In America With Huge Warning Sign In Window

A bar in Philidelphia is angering liberals in America with a huge warning sign the management has posted in the front window for all to see. You’re going to love this!
“A new sign at a longstanding Philly watering hole has some of the neighborhood’s newcomers outraged,” writes Victor Fiorillo in an article for Philly Mag titled, “We Think We Just Found Donald Trump’s Dream Bar in Philadelphia.” Fiorillo was at Old Philadelphia Bar on Thursday night when he claims “the inevitable happened” about fifteen minutes into his visit:
About 15 minutes into my Thursday-night visit to Old Philadelphia Bar, the inevitable happened. A man, who said he was a former firefighter before saying that he was a Mexican, which he then said was “just a joke” (the Mexican part), walked up to the jukebox, put his money inside, and played the 1984 Lee Greenwood hit “God Bless the USA.” And as the anthemic chorus began, many of the patriotic patrons at the bar joined in:
And I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
’Cause there ain’t no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
It’s a fitting theme song for the smoky little bar at the corner of Martha and Dauphin streets in the Kensington section of Philadelphia — just around the corner from popular spots like Pizza Brain and Martha, and just across the border from Fishtown. The sign on the front door reads: “IF YOU’RE NOT PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, DO NOT BOTHER TO COME IN.”
The message on the door is a recent addition to the bar, which has been around for more than 40 years and proudly displays American flag pennants, USA signs, and red and blue stars all over the walls. According to Victor Fiorillo, it’s the type of place where you’re more likely to find construction workers than the hipsters and yuppies who have taken over parts of the surrounding neighborhood.
That sign is apparently causing quite a stir on Facebook, where liberal users are outraged that the bar’s management would insist that their patrons be proud of their country. One young woman from Fairmount said she’d be sure to skip Old Philadelphia Bar because her boyfriend is an Indian man who has a beard. “I would avoid going there,” she said. “It’s usually fine. Sometimes, some places, it’s not fine. As is obvious from that sign.”
Inadvertently, the Fairmount woman demonstrated just how ignorant and irrational liberals are on the topic of nationalism. You can, of course, be of Indian descent and still be a proud American. You can also sport a full beard and be the most patriotic of individuals. Insinuating that you shouldn’t have to be proud to be American simply because of these two factors is absolutely absurd.
Indeed, as Victor Fiorillo noted, Old Philadelphia Bar sounds like the type of joint that President Donald Trump would love. Even though he is one of the world’s most successful billionaires, he identifies more closely with the hard-working American patriots like construction workers and first responders than the “hipsters and yuppies” Fiorillo was talking about. But “hipsters and yuppies” don’t make this the greatest country on the face of the planet. It’s the police officers and teachers and plumbers and electricians who make America great.
