Here is the difference, they still have to service me. If i go into a grocery store, the owner can be racist all he/she wants, but i can still go in there to buy groceries. I'm happy that you are forced to service me and can't turn me away because of the color of my skin.
That's just crazy! Why would you want to support someone who hated you? Why would you want to increase their profits through your patronage? People that would judge others by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character DON"T DESERVE your financial support!

I wouldn't go to that place of business if I had other options. I want to make sure you don't have ability to turn me away if I had to use your place of business.

Nighttrain, your logic is baffling. I'll tell you one thing, if a store was run by racists, I would bet that another store would open up and take plenty of their business away. As Zona stated, why the hell would you ever want to support a place of business where you don't agree with their principles? Would having to drive an extra 10 minutes for groceries override your principles? Perhaps paying a few dollars more for groceries? Would that affect your principles?
I'm not black but if I came across a place of business and they had a sign out front saying "no blacks allowed", I would not go there regardless if they had the dishes I wanted to eat or even if they received rave reviews online or whatever. It's all about principles and what you believe in and if we as society stick to them, that would eliminate places where racism exists.

Let me make it easier, i'm not in favor of private property rights being protected.
Well until Ron Paul actually wins a primary, all this is just dogs barking in the dark at each other.
From the title of this thread, it's obvious why Paul isn't being considered seriously by more people. Not everyone who reads the Washington Post believes it is ultra-liberal or toilet paper, so that just put another little nick in Paul's chances of ever winning.
It's just common sense that, if you are backing an underdog, the last thing you want to do is **** off a bunch of people with the first thing you write. That's a real good way to make sure your underdog becomes a losing underdog.

While I am impressed with the passion and ardor Ron Paul's supporters have for him, it appears his candidacy is sinking and fading away.
I went into Ron Paul's website and couldn't help but notice that the things being sold - bumper stickers, T-shirts, coffee mugs, that sort of thing - are being discounted. It's like a "Going Out Of Business Sale"!!!
Will Ron Paul win the Florida Primary? Nope. Won't even come in second. Will probably come in LAST place. Someone said he he isn't even campaigning there. Paul is not even going to campaign in Florida - with over 19 million people and the FOURTH most populous state in the US? Seriously???
Ron Paul supporters ... please explain to me how he is going to capture the GOP nomination without winning a single primary?
