Instead of kicking them out because of their color, they would do so for other, non race reasons.
Pretty easy to see.
Of course by that time, a lot of businesses weren't doing this as widespread as it is played out to be.
What a liberal says: "I think racial discrimination is wrong and that it harms people. It should be attacked at every level, government and personal. I think the federal government was right to ban it the way they did. People have a right to their opinion, even if that opinion is "I hate black people." They do not, however, have the right to act on that opinion by banning black people from their business. I think Ron Paul is wrong in his stance, this is a case where property rights do not trump civil rights."
What a conservative hears: "I think the federal government should do everything for me because only the federal government can do anything right. People are helpless and need to be protected. They can't do anything without the government's help and expect to succeed! Also Rand Paul is basically Hitler."
Thank you! Well said! Human rights should always come first.
that's not necessarily a bad thing as far as Americans are concerned.

No, I don't want anything out of the good Doctor other that what he thinks is the truth. But let's look at this realistically shall we? Paul did change how he was running and who he was in his own campaign when he played to all those truthers on American campuses in the campaign. Now you supporters want to deny that part of things but history doesn't lie.
If you are trying to say that Dr. Paul didn't espouse the theory that we were attacked because of our own policies abroad, and he believes that the investigation into 9/11 was a cover-up....Here he is at a 9/11 truther House party talking about getting with Kusinisch about a new investigation into 9/11, and for what purpose do you suppose? I'll tell ya, to blame America in one fashion or another.
So what? We aren't talking about Napolitano, or Dobbs here, we are talking about Paul. And Alex Jones. Do you consider Jones to be a credible source? I don't. Some things I hear him talk about are interesting to listen to for the entertainment value, but then as usual he just carries it too far.
But If I read you correctly here, and through all the name calling, you are saying that if we don't buy the supposed fact that America is the root cause of all the consternation in the world then we are just 'neocons', or 'enemies', or somehow 'liberals' and not true conservatives.
Let's me ask you libertarians something. Who died and left you in charge of assigning affiliation to anyone?
TNDG: He's your hero; that's proof enough for me. :mrgreen:
So what? Why the obsession with our currency devaluing? It's not like we have hyperinflation. If it happens over the scale of decades, it's barely noticeable.
Or do you think that a weak dollar in general is a bad thing? If so, why?
Is Rand Paul named after Ayn Rand?
Yes we havent hit hyperinflation.....yet. Do you honestly have to ask that question? Yes a weak dollar is bad for the country. It diminishes our purchasing power both domestically and abroad.
Is Rand Paul named after Ayn Rand?
correct. property rights being the basis of human rights.
Oh well since ending racial discrimination is hard we shouldn't even try, is that what you're saying? Those dang bankers are going to find shady ways to make money no matter what rules we put in place, best not have any rules at all!
Seriously? That's your stance? That because there will always be some closeted bigots we should just not try and curtail the problem?
Thank you! Well said! Human rights should always come first.
Edit: Reinserted deleted text. You are right, from this thread, that is exactly what they hear.
Err, ok that's an interesting philosophical topic
but the practical question that we have here is does your right as a business owner trump my civil rights as related to race, gender, or religion?
Should you have the right to kick me out because I'm (insert undesirable characteristic)
yup. it's my property; and you have the right to kick anyone you wish off your property.
