In Rand Paul's world, does a private doctor get to refuse treatment to a black man?

  1. Ugh, one epic fail after another. You must be a humiliation addict like Optional... Kentucky was not in the confederacy.

    Crash and burn... again...

    Here is a short and interesting article about how these public accommodations laws can have strange and unintended consequences. It isn't just a clear-cut case that opposition to these laws equals racism. There is a very legitimate argument to be made that these laws trample on business owners' rights. In this case a law put into place to prevent discrimination against customers who are members of various minority groups also makes it so a restaurant owner doesn't have the right to ban nazis from his own private property, and gets successfully sued for trying to do so.

  3. At least you can admit you are of the fringe minority.

    Stop you from voicing your opinion? Well, as a self proclaimed believer in democracy, shouldn't you respect the opinion of the majority and go find some socialist/marxist forum to rant on instead of coming somewhere that you are admittedly in the fringe minority? Isn't that what a believer in democracy should do? You do believe in democracy, right?

    Yes there are no moderators enforcing "rules of logic and proper argumentation", this is a fact you have been exploiting here for years. If there were, you'd be shut down almost immediately.

    Also, on the contrary if you think you have won any arguments here you are a fool. You regularly get shafted like a toddler at the neverland ranch and come back for more.

    Meaning you either 1. Are addicted to the humiliation 2. Are so delusional that you think you have actually made some progress with your arguments, although your statements and admissions refute this or 3. You are just a slimy troll who gets his jollies off of creating negativity.

    Democracy aside, why would you want to stay somewhere that you aren't wanted? Why wouldn't you go elsewhere just as a matter of decency and class?

  4. Im surprised your're able to string a sentence together son. Here is a little bit of history beyond what you slept thru in high school. See below: the descendants of the "Convention of the People of Kentucky", and Rands constituents.

    You Tea Party people at least make politics enjoyable :D

    Kentucky was a border state during the American Civil War.[29] Although frequently described as never having seceded, representatives from several counties met at Russellville calling themselves the "Convention of the People of Kentucky" and passed an Ordinance of Secession on November 20, 1861.[30] They established a Confederate government of Kentucky with its capital in Bowling Green.[31] Though Kentucky was represented by the central star on the Confederate battle flag,[32] the Russellville Convention did not represent the majority of residents. A year earlier, philosopher Karl Marx wrote to Friedrich Engels that the result of a vote deciding how Kentucky would be represented at a convention of the border states was "100,000 for the Union ticket, only a few thousand for secession."[33] Kentucky officially remained "neutral" throughout the war due to Union sympathies of many of the Commonwealth's citizens. Confederate Memorial Day is observed by some in Kentucky on Confederate President Jefferson Davis' birthday, June 3.[34]

  5. Do you actually think that Paul was already elected as a Senator?

    I think its disgusting that you would equate a person's position on civil rights laws with his position on the merit of the confederacy.

    It is a disgusting tactic of the left.

    There are black people who understand that civil rights laws in California prevent small and medium size business from hiring black people. And that is where much of the new wealth is made.

    I know a good size trading firm who never hired another black guy after they to spend close ot 100 grand in legal fees defending themselves from a merit less action. The co owner of that firm was as progressive as one gets. But he learned his lesson.

    Basically you can't fire black people in CA... so no one but really large companies and the govt hires them. And the ones looking for jobs know it.

    I wonder if the results of such liberal legislation are accidental or designed to keep a voting base locked in place.

  7. I agree with your overall point but let's don't pretend the Confederacy was without legitimate merits.

    Basically I disagree with joining any group, club or national organization in which you do not retain the rights to withdraw membership at your own request (especially with the threat of violence against you should you decide that membership no longer reflects your best interests).
    Any agreement otherwise is null and void and described in our Declaration of Independence.

    Who in their right mind joins or consents to be a member of an organization willing to kill you for attempting to leave? for example Waffen SS, Warsaw pact, the MOB, united states of America.
    vs
    NATO
    AARP
    Sam's Club
    NRA
    WTO
    United Nations
    local church
    lions club, Shriners, USO, United way, etc etc

  9. Pretty much... I mean I guess he technically has to beat the dem competition in Kentucky. So yeah he has pretty much been elected. Only formalities remain. The real election was when he beat the other republican.
