I can see you're just going to fall back on the race card and use that as an excuse to destroy property rights. I almost started to expect more from you but then you lived down to my normal expectations.

Is that not free speech? I hope that would not be allowed to be displayed in public.
Who said anything about inciting violence? You're arguing against this because you don't want racism on display. So do you support the right to free speech for racists or not?

I support the right of any business to run their business the way they want. Of course, it seems pretty stupid to barr a customer with money. Just because I think so, doesn't mean there aren't laws against this. I also think, for example, that a bar owner should be able to decide if smoking is allowed in his place. He can't though.

It's a cheap shot to say "I almost started to expect more from you. . . "

Property rights aren't absolute. No "right" is absolute. The classic example is that free speech doesn't mean you can yell "fire" in a croweded theater.

I'm for property rights! I think signs extend past that. For instance what if the sign read "all child molesters are Gods gift to children" would you think that would be alright. Its on the person on property after all.

Its free speech right? Your post read free speech. Or is it just free speech as long as you agree with it?

What the hell are you talking about? Stop dodging. If you're going to use the argument that this should be illegal because you don't want to see racism, then you should also oppose the right to free speech by racists.

So you don't believe in free speech. Thank you for clarifying that. I'll give you some credit, at least you know where you stand.
