Did he mean by race, ethnicity, language? I know in a lot of jobs if you don't have native fluency in Spanish, you won't be hired. I don't believe in discrimination against any American.
However - if say blacks wanted to have an all black all boy school - or group or whatever, I'm not sure I'm that much against that kind of thing either.
I'm a conservative, not necessarily a Tea Party affiliate, although I don't disagree with most of their ideals. With that being said, I can see both sides of the argument, but at the end of the day I don't support blatant discrimination at any level.
Is this really a surprise to anyone? The Tea Party has been accused of having a racist agenda and lo and behold here comes Paul saying it's OK to discriminate against minorties in private places! Then you wonder why there are so few minorites in the GOP and the Tea Party!
If someone isn't hurting anyone physically, should the federal government be allowed to step in and force them to do something?
If a bar owner wants to allow smoking, he should be allowed to. No one is forcing non smokers into the bar. If you have a problem with smoking, don't go. 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?
Have never been to a bar where blacks and whites mingle together.
