I can make my own soup. I have all the recipes.

OMG, you finally admitted it (that I'm not a leftist). Yay! And yes, that was an incredible waste of time... but now my dinner is ready, so at least it sped up the wait.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (being a "leftist"), of course.

Private clubs and businesses that accommodate the public are treated very differently in the law.

Religiously-based bigotry is no more acceptable than any other kind.

Why insist on sitting at the front of the bus? There are plenty of other seats. That Rosa Parks, always making trouble. Rotten disgruntled malcontent.

Indeed jazz.

A couple of falsehoods posted by Seabass.

1. Homosexuals are not a protected class.

2. It is not religious based "bigotry" when a law violates the Establishment Clause; The use of such a word is incompatible.

3. The use of Rosa Parks is a fallacious comparison; Indeed, I find such a comparison that uses Ms. Parks extremely repugnant and lowbrow.

It's not like gay people would ever be relegated to sitting in the back of the bus ...

Rosa Parks had it much better than the gays. At least she got a bus ride. If openly gay people (or discovered gay people) tried to ride the bus in Alabama in 1955 they would have been arrested and imprisoned or perhaps involuntary committed to a mental institution (if not lynched).

1) That overwhelming evidence is the widespread discrimination by businesses against blacks and other minorities during the civil rights era.

2) If you allege that there hasn't been a truly free market during modern times, that might give you pause about advocating for it.

Secondly, your arrogance is staggering. Who are you to decree that something is the law and it will never change?
Thanks. With genius comes arrogance.

I decree it's the law because, it is the law. I decree it will never change because unless you can get enough state legislatures to sign on to a constitutional amendment that cancels out the Civil Rights Act, then it will never change.

You mad bro? Or you still trying to learn what libel and slander are.

Let me know if you're feeling froggy. I'll give you an address where you can have me served with the lawsuit.
