Boy, you are trying to throw anything against the wall to get a rise out of people.
I know you think it cool to troll people, but it’s really not.
Could you explain how we can expect people to stand up against discrimination and fix these ills?
Local government is a reflection of the people. That’s why San Francisco has Nancy Pelosi and why north metro Atanta has Johnny Isakson.
Do you know what the 1st Amendment actually says with regard to religion?
I gotta say, I don’t get your point either…what are you trying to introduce that supports whether or not the Red Hen exhibited poor judgement.
Not to come at you from all sides, but Hitler was at least nominally Roman Catholic. Baptized, Confirmed, Altar-boy, etc. More to the point, his mother was devoutly Roman Catholic and he gave her a rather elaborate funeral.
But, yes, aside from Hitler, there were a number of very anti-Catholic Nazis, chief among them Goebbels and Rosenberg, both of which despised all denominations of Nazarene as “foreign” and of Jewish origin.
When your point fails, change the subject.
I did clearly say that the federal government had to intervene on behalf of its citizens when those citizens rights are being denied. It could be .00001% of the population, they still have Constitutionally guaranteed rights. But you don’t have a Constitutional right to a wedding cake made by Bob Smith.
Now, what I think you’re trying to say is, what if an African American couldn’t find a gas station in the state of Mississippi that would let him buy gas. There aren’t any laws against selling gasoline to black people, it’s just that every gas station decided not to sell.
That’s an interesting problem to which shows a failing of a strictly libertarian philosophy. I think that in the long run, word would get out, and a “let’s all boycott Mississippi” movement would soon bring that state’s economy to it’s knees. Millions of people would write letters to Exxon and BP, and those racist gas station owners would soon be unable to get gasoline from a distributor. They would go out of business, while a less idiotic gas station owner would advertise that everyone is welcome to fuel up a Chuck’s Quikie Mart, and his business would prosper. Chuck might not even be the most enlightened guy, he just might know how to make a buck.
At least I hope that is what would happen.

I’m saying they should be able serve whoever they want for whatever reason and the rest of us can choose if we want to eat there or not. Same thing with bakeries and gay wedding cakes, since that was the comparison. I think we should trust the basic decency of our citizens and not look to the government to sort out every little problem for us.
He was forced to do those things as a child. Catholics were put on the hit list in the later years and served and died in concentration camps as well, mainly clergy. In the thousands not in the millions, but no the NAZI’s were not fond of Catholicism either.
No comparison to the Jews by any means.
I get that. I was just more curious where you draw the line IRT ‘public boycotts > govt intervention.’ Seems to be a topic with a hella lot of gray area.
It’s probably more likely that they’d just turn into my home state of WV. Then before you know it the average intelligence level of the state has hit the floor and everyones trying to get ahold of more heroin.

I agree. It wasn’t illegal to boot Sanders just poor taste and bad judgement.
LOL! I have to drive through WV a couple of times a year to visit my wife’s family in Ohio. I hate that fucking place!

That is what I’m getting at. I only brought up things like Little Rock to show why I don’t necessarily put a lot of faith in people to do the right thing, especially if they don’t see it as the right thing. Obviously in today’s America if something were being done on the state level, like your example, pressure from other states could cause change. But when we are talking about incidents on a smaller scale I don’t think there will be that type of pressure. I didn’t see any boycotts of the non-gay baker’s state. IMO, and it is only MO, the scale of the discrimination doesn’t matter. One gay couple, one baker is not like an entire state vs its black population. It still doesn’t mean we should overlook the gay couple.
But as I stated earlier, I don’t agree with the Red Hen’s owner either but there is a difference between what she did and what the baker did. Although at some level, and this is why I don’t agree with her, it is a form of dehumanization.
On this we agree although I used the word stupid.
Most people do. That’s why they have heroin.
Where at in Ohio? Parts of Ohio are like WV lite
An intelligent people can craft law that makes sure people aren’t starved out of a society, yet with exceptions so that people can withold their participation in specific, limited, and voluntary exchanges. If the government is so inept that it can’t manage this then it has no business wielding that kind of power in the first place. Sanders (and others) will be just fine.

An intelligent people wouldn’t need such a law.
There is no if.

If the owner thinks Sanders is the lowest of the low, she should throw her out.
Cleveland and Cincinnati, though she has some family in Marietta, which is definitely WV lite. The people in Marietta also hate WV.
