Of course, before the Civil Rights Act or similar pieces of policy or legislation, only whites were deemed to be qualified, and most of them were male...............

Then why did you write this:

If there was a skin head, KKK or black panther that have the belief that they should exterminate those they hate, would you force them to go against their beliefs?
This is covered under free speech,you cannot act on it or order it to happen however.

If I smoke pot in my house, that should be allowed, because the federal government should have no say what I do on my own property, because I'm not hurting anyone.

Most people support that kind of personal freedom, yet, those rights have been taken away. On the opposite side of the same coin, private business owners should be allowed to segregate, if they so choose.

I think discrimination is disgusting, and I wouldn't support a business that does that.

If a bar owner wants to not allow black Americans into their establishment, fine, but I'll open a bar up across the street, that accepts everyone, and guess who is going to do more business?
I agree,it is something lost on people and most likely because those whose individual freedoms are being stripped away are people who out at the fringes.

Those who desire more power know how to play the masses,and have been doing it for years

And time after time the people fall for it.

If you are unaware of this fact, the United States Senate is one of the two bodies of the United States Congress. It is the bicameral legislature that governs the entire United States of America, where most of us live.

As a consequence, the actions taken by the United States Senate affect all Americans, not just the residents of the state that a particular senator represents.

Stop back if you need another lesson in the basic structure of the United States government.
But he is there to serve the interests of the people of Kentucky,it is none of YOUR business really unless you are a Kentuckian,which I highly doubt...

You do know a Senator is there primarily to further the interests of his own state right???

Really?
Perhaps you might want to edit this post considering to be subject to an absolute genocide would mean....there would be no-one left...

English a second language?

Ahhh this explains it....you are a closet mass murderer.

I will keep this post of yours for future use,it will be interesting to see how you can justify wanting to murder people for their beliefs.

Default Any Tea Party Supporters Disappointed In Rand Paul's Statement?

I was very curious if there are any Tea Party supporters who are disappointed by Rand Paula's statements that business owners have the right to discriminate? I have read the threads where Tea Party supporters are agreeing with or defending his stance, but have yet to read any that do not agree with what he said, and was just curious if the overwhelming sentiment was agreement.
