Let me also add there are cases where there is a substantial state interest in government forcing a private corporation to serve the whole of the public. An example would be emergency medical services.

I admit there are some grey areas that are subject to debate. Believe it or not even libertarians recognize this. However for most of the transactions we deal with on a daily basis government should not interfere with the natural right of association.
HERE HERE! Well said sir!

If anything, we Libertarians understand better than most, and wish to live by example rather than hollow words and catch phrases.

If anything it is we who are the "inclusive and tolerant ones"

Well good luck ever having your Libertarian buddies elected to major offices. Anyone who openly advocates that business owners should be allowed to discriminate against people because of the color of their skin has zero chance of ever holding any sort of meaningful office in this country.

Obviously that is your interpretation, and completely contrary to the facts.

You would sacrifice personal freedoms in exchange for some insane herd mentallity that defines EVERYONE as being the exact same. The problem is that progressives are too busy calling everyone a racist, for every little thing, to actually care about people being color blind.

If everyone were Libertarians, we'd have fewer racial issues. The collective IQ would certainly jump 20 points.

what if billy bob decided he wanted a classy trailer park and decided to boot all the one tooth trailer trash out of there, would it still be discrimination.

You're right, both lack heartbeats. A home & a business are property. People have rights.

You should have no right to trespass on other peoples property or the labor of others.

Are not people entitled to the rights of property and the right of association?

Possibly a little explanation on positive rights versus negative rights is in order:
