Nowhere in there does it say it is illegal to be a racist, it says you cannot discriminate at a business, which like I said I'm fine with. But it is not yet illegal to be a racist. And that is how it should be, the day the government tells me how I'm allowed to feel, I will leave.

The Jim Crow laws MADE BUSINESSES SEGREGATE! Made segregation mandatory, at public and private places. So when we revoked these laws with the civil rights bills we said the government can no longer make us segregate. I don't want segregation. As I've said before all people are equal to me. I have numerous friends of many races, religions, and countries of origin. I think any LAW that makes us segregate is outrageous. But if some business owner decides he's a racist and doesn't want to serve a particular group of people that would be his choice, NOT JIM CROW LAWS in effect. Just personal choice. And whether or not it's relevant, I don't see any business that segregates being successful, which if nothing else is a deterrent to running a business in a racist matter. But again, it's not against the law to be racist, that is not what the civil rights laws addressed. No law can change the way a person feels. And so there's no undue mudslinging here with you calling me a racist, I'll just put this out there, I'm fine with the laws the way they are, but if it were left to the business owners discretion I'd be fine with that too.

His view of it, according to the video, was that yeah, if you want to discriminate that should be your right. He also said that racism, is wrong, that he's not racist, and doesn't really like people that are. But if a private business which gets no public funding, chooses to be racist, that should be their right. It's not against the law to be racist. And any business that used those practices, would just self destruct, especially this day in age. You'd loose the money of whomever your not allowing in, plus the rest of the people would probably stop coming to your establishment based on principal. So let them be racist and fail. All of this goes out the window at any publicly funded place. But I have to say I agree, call me racist if you want, I'm not, I know I'm not, I also know it's not against the law to be racist, so if someone chooses to be a racist, it's their choice, while I don't agree with it, and I feel there is no place for racism in our world, it's just something you can't stop, racism both ways mind you. Should it be mandated that the black students association have white people in it? How about black unions? I'm a firefighter, part of IAFF and CSFA, my shift partner is also part of IAFF and CSFA but he's also part of a union I can't join the BFA(black firefighters association). Should that be mandated to allow me and other white fire fighters to join it? What about black colleges, there isn't a college in the US that has the overwhelming majority of students one race like those colleges do, it's not allowed, except at black colleges.

John Stossell had a pretty insightful view of the whole Rand Paul debacle. It was on the Megan Kelly show on fox news and then again I believe on FBN. What he says makes decent sense to me.

Im at work and haven't watched the video yet. But are these people similar to the ones who voted for Obama because of his pro life stance and because Palin was going to be his VP(see Howard stern videos of Obama supporters from '08)? There are idiots in every crowd.

Really guy? You haven't got tired of that already? I have numerous posts on other parts of LBT instead of being a full on tool and continuing this foolishness why don't you go see the rest of he posts I've made that have nothing to do with anything she's intersted in. On top of that I don't even hold lost of the same views as patty. That's not to say I don't like her, just that we definetely don't see eye to eye on all things political. I'm fiscally conservative, and that's about it. I don't want to waste money on social programs. But as far homosexual rights, wimens rights, civil rights, I am on the middle to left side of those things. To me there is no difference in any two people whatsoever. The only exception to that being I don't think illegal aliens should be given anything I've seen their devistation first hand several times over. Also stem cell research and science progress I support 100%

Sources or didn't happen.

You know how you and the rest of the libs blast anything quoted by fox news? The dailykos is pretty much the biggest left wing hack, bs, super liberal, no news site on the internet. So I'll stick with the CBS poll for now. Thanks

Looks like the pendulum may be swinging back.

Looks like those you think are the most uneducated actually are more educated...

Very left wing of you to put the blame for these children working in these environments on the company employing them and not the parent forcing them to work. Remember that little thing we used to have in this country called personal responsibility? :laugh: For the record I think the blame is definitely on both, however, no personal responsibility is huge problem with American's today.

Looks like maybe some white Americans are lining up for these jobs..:laugh:

Of course they were, and I complained about it just as much then. I know in your mind(or at least how you display your thought process on these forums) anyone with the slightest conservative inkling, hates all things liberal, and loved Bush unconditionally, but some of us are actual free thinkers and have our own opinions on things. And sometimes the people on the news think the same way. Astonishing, I know.

Maybe bo can help us out..

First San Diego, now L.A., AZ is not messing around. They say; "Boycott us? We'll boycott you!"

She construes everything as racist, or sexist, look back through some of my posts, I called someone a tool shed and she "yelled" at me for calling someone a slut. I said "get real lady" and I was a sexist. If there is the slightest inkling of negativity that she can tie to a group of people she will then try to blast you for it. Grasping for straws is her game.

Couldn't agree more. We have our hands in too many places around the world. And yeah, what we have works pretty well for us, but that doesn't mean it will work well everywhere else or that anyone else wants it. I've long wondered what makes us think we should be able to have our military force wherever we want, yet no one can have theirs here(rightfully so, I don't want any other military ever setting foot on US soil). What makes us so special? And how much money do we waste having these bases all over the world? Lets bring our troops home. The ones who are fighting, can keep on fighting until we've accomplished what we need to, but the ones who are just hanging out all over the place, need to come home. My little brother has been station in Great Britain, Germany, Korea, and the middle east, and the only bases where anything was going on was in Qatar and S. Korea because he was right on the DMZ. I just don't get what makes us think we have the right to be anywhere but right here?

San Diego is trying to back pedal and say they aren't really boycotting AZ, it's political not personal. Well it looks like Arizonian's don't really care, they're saying "you boycott us, we'll boycott you."

Looks like the LA city council is in the same boat as Holder.

So according to your post here, 51%(per CBS) of Americans are reminiscent of Nazi's? Or about 60% of Americans? (according to rasmussen) Why would you want to be somewhere where the majority of the people remind you of Nazi Germany? The majority of American's are in favor of this.

Did any of you take the time to read the bill? It's pretty clearly written.

Did you read any of the books I posted? They talk about it in there, take the time to read.

Not at all you spouted off liberal propaganda without doing any fact checking whatsoever and then you blame it on something you saw on tv. I'm sure the guy who wrote the bill just happened to mis-speak and you didn't hear from the huff post or the daily kos that that is what the law says. It literally took me about 48 seconds to find and list the bill. You pop off all the time about not letting right wingers get away with posting lies and not posting their source. All I'm doing is holding you to the same standard. I don't know why I shouldn't be allowed to? The bill, regardless of what the huff or kos tells you can be read and undrstood very easily and nowhere in it does it mention not teaching about other cultures and actually has a part in t that says students aren't allowed to have any disciplinary action taken against them because of their nationality.

Maybe our resident fact checker should do a little on her own claims. AZ HB 2281 I'm reading through this and having a hard time finding where it says they can no longer teach about other cultures? Maybe you can highlight with your favorite red color the part that says no teaching of other cultures in the bill because I sure as heck can't find it. Or maybe your listening to too many liberal news organizations and just spitting out their talking points without doing a little fact checking.:w00t:

They can negotiate whatever they want, that is clearly not the point. One of bo's big points throughout the 08 campaign was that Mccain had proposed a tax on health care benefits and that had never happened before, and he under bo he would make sure it never would....oops another lie. He said, no new taxes on people making less the 250k a year. That means no new taxes. Not no new taxes of this kind or that kind. If you make the promise for NO NEW TAXES the people expect, you guessed it, no new taxes. So now he's gonna tax in other places and pretend it's not his fault. Yeah those things are discretionary, but so is income tax, I can choose to make no money and not have to pay any taxes, I can choose not to ever own a home or rent one, I can choose to be homeless and live off the land and never pay any taxes, thats not the point, to call something like gasoline discretionary is so far out of touch with reality it's almost comical. What are your options? Public transport? Great if you live on the east coast, what about the west coast and middle America where public transportation is pitiful? And you will still pay a tax on gasoline or diesel because the transportation companies will pay it and pass it on to you. So another bo lie. New taxes for one and all under bo.
