I think they were open a grand total of about 10 months. There first ad was really a welcome mat…. IF YOU ARE A LIBERAL YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE . Gee what a surpise. lmao. Only in Florida do you get dumb business people like this. The military theme is fine but why point fingers at different political groups. I just want some grub and maybe a beer lol.

How long was this place open? Their website said February, but the article was written June of 2004. So I’m wondering what year it opened.

I am a moderate democrat that but I still would not go. Why would I frequent any business that discriminates against anyone…. yes that includes republicans as well. From what I understand this restaurant is struggling. Good they deserve it. Evidently these owners do not understand their history because the French were our allies in ww2 and HELLO , they did give us the STATUE OF LIBERTY, talk about blatant racism right there. I do believe Bill Clinton won Florida by a landslide twice, hmmm. It really makes me wonder the stupidity of my fellow Floridians. Just when you think it can not get any dumber, I am suprised. LOL

This is just a wild guess but I’ll bet the owner of this restaurant has never served in the military.

I have noticed the new radio ad campaign is much less “in-your-face” and encourages patrons to “vote” on the next “enemy of the state.”

As a Democrat I could care less if this particular business wants to draw attention to themselves this way. It just makes me laugh because its run by the type of people who would scream to high heaven if someone opened a diner that discouraged Republicans, right wing religious wackos or Fox News viewers. I can just imagine how pissed they would be if the urinals had photos of Katherine Harris, Tom Delay or Condi Rice (even I wouldn’t suggest Bush, for as much as I despise the man, the office of the President is still something to take seriously). I say go, have a good time and if the place isn’t to your taste, don’t go back. They have just as much right to do business as anyone, so more power to them. Just don’t mention that the backwards ass customer preference they wish to adopt is less than American, lest you get some strange condiments in your burgers.

So basically, eat there as their beloved administration loves for you to live: silently, obediently and in fear

HA! Exactly! Lighten up folks. I am a democrat and I go frequently. Also, I know the owner and the GM…beleive me…this is NOT a racist bunch nor a racist theme. Period. It is, however, very clever and a great time.

The food is excellent.

No press is bad press. In an age when 1 outa 10 restaurants make it, I think you have to have something to draw attention.

Also, as a liberal, I find it VERY entertaining to go to eat and drink at Salutes. Its an excellent opportunity to annoy right wingers if you are so inclined.

Therefore, I say it is a mandate to all Dems and Liberals to go, fill the restaurant, and evangelize to those poor misguided few that take the theme too seriously. Somebody call up MoveOn and tell ‘em we need a meeting at Salutes every week!!!!

See you all there on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!
