By the way, all the way back on page 6 of this now 15 page thread I asked if you would have or did oppose the Civil Rights Act. I guess I should've clarified - do you still oppose? How about it? Anyone?

Well whoever owns the RV park should decide who gains admittance.
For what it's worth, if they were paying on time and didn't create a disturbance, ownership probably just penalized itself in getting rid of good reliable tenants.
I support the RV park owner's right to be a complete idiot for rejecting a potentially good tenant. He or she (the owner) deserves to be with his or her own kind.
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.
Ask yourself, Steven...do you honestly think that anyone who advocates denying goods and services to people because they have the wrong skin color is going to have any chance whatsoever in the political arena beyond some office in a backwater hillbilly town? Be honest.

I oppose the same sections Barry Goldwater opposed for the same reasons. I have posted Barry's explanation in the past. I favor the civil rights of all up to the point they wish to violate the natural rights of others. There should be no right to trespass on the property of others.
The Civil Rights Act did not just apply to corporations.
Corporations are made up of people many corporations consist of a single individual.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 refers to public accommodations.

Corporations lack a heartbeat, a legal fiction incapable of exercising rights. The model was designed to avoid accountability, liability & responsibility.
If this is a mobile home park, he can't discriminate in renting (regardless of what his mother-in-law thinks). However, he said that he's "closing down" the park, so isn't everybody SOL?

You have your hands full running your own life. Stay out of the lives of others when no ones rights have been violated.

So you were okay with slavery? Good to know. Always best that the racist is out in the open. (I doubt you'll ever understand this)

As far as government agencies yes. Everyone pays into the pie, that's what it's for.

The Civil Rights Act came after the fact. The tide had already turned because we the people made the difference, not government.

That's called mob rule. When 51 percent tell the other 49 percent what to do. How about you quit forcing people to do what you want when no ones rights have been violated.

As a whole, hopefully not. But there are plenty of republicans who are just as lost as you are, and have that same thirst for forcing their will on others, as you do.

Property rights is one of the cornerstones of our foundation. Read up on it.
