It seems that US Senate Candidate Rand Paul has gotten himself in trouble because he said store owners should be allowed to refuse service to black customers if they want too. This has meant that the usual collection of leftist idiots have decried him as a racist and a bigot. I guess that is simpler than listening to the point he was actually making.
After all, he did say that he thought discrimination was a bad thing, but that ultimately he thought the private property rights of the owners was more important. You know what. He is 100% right. If a business owner wants to refuse service to a customer why shouldn’t that business owner be allowed to? Whatever reason the person might have for refusing service, however unpleasant or objectionable, surely they have the right to use their private property as they see fit.
If you don’t think that freedom and liberty should protect someones right to be a jackass like that with brier private property and pay the price for it (after all the business owner is turning a paying customer away) then to be honest, you don’t believe in freedom and liberty at all.
This is just like free speech. If you don’t support the freedom of speech for ideas you disagree with then you don’t support freedom of speech at all.
The sort of totalitarian impulse that is beig shown here by those who disagree with what Rand Paul said should be carefully noted. This is the way they hinkbpeople who disagree with hem should be treated. These people are wanna be tyrants and are showing their true colours in this case.
