Gotcha

Well, then the ladies are doing the right thing. If I own private property, and I don't want to allow blue eyed people onto it, then thats my right. Even if its a business, that should be the standard. If I want to be a sexist, racist idiot, then thats my God given right, is it not. The government shouldn't tell me I have to do anything, and they have a right to protect my right to be a sexist, racist idiot.

They didn't, they responded to a public complaint. If more than one object, then the police are bound to react. The same would be true if a bunch of Catholics went into a Synagogue and worshiped as Catholics and the Jewish congregation objected. The police would be bound to eject the Catholics.

No you don't "gotcha."

If you have a private business that conducts business with the public you don't have the right to be a sexist, racist idiot... well you have the right to be an idiot, but your idiocy doesn't allow you to act in a discriminatory manner.

I'm saying it should. If I own a business, and I want to ban someone, for whatever reason, from entering my business, my property, then it should be my right.

However, if its a publicly owned thing, like a city bus, or a court house, or the sheriffs office, then anyone should be allowed in.

Yes, you and thousands of other(?) segregationist thought the same thing but what you think and what the law says are two different animals.

Hmm... Separate but equal? Isn't that a civil rights amendment violation?

These people need to wake up to the fact that in this country we don't have a star and sickle on our flag.

If they want to live like they're in the 5th century let them do that crap back where they came from.

Since when do the police get involved in a dispute like that?

Disgraceful!

What would the men have done? STONED THE WOMEN WHO ARE PROTESTING?

They need to Get the F*** outta here!
