Rand Paul and the right to discriminate


Kentucky GOP Senate candidate Rand Paul(son of Ron Paul) has gotten into hot water for saying once or twice that he disagreed with the part of the Civil Rights Act that forced private enterprises not to discriminate. That vapid and whorish lesbian Rachel Maddow has freaked out on him along with the militant progressive left in typical fashion. What should be a discussion of Constitutionality and government's role in private business descends into a flame war over race.

Of course, Rand Paul cried uncle and just recently said he supports the very thing he said he didn't. I still like Rand Paul and he's somewhat libertarian, but he needs to start sounding just a tad more like his papi and a little less like a bumbling idiot. Just once I would like to see some pol out there make the case for the right to discriminate. Of course, I have no problems with the government banning discrimination on public/federal land like public schools and libraries. But what right does some bureaucratic body one thousand miles away have to tell me who I can or cannot sell things to as business owner?

Oh yes, I am making the case for my right to discriminate. To answer the question above, they have no right, obviously. The hypocrisy is prevalent. They tell us we must allow everyone the opportunity to make transactions from your business, regardless of race or gender. Yet then they tell us who can buy what, at what age they can buy it at, and sometimes what time they can buy it at. If I as a private beer-brewer refuse to let Mexicans drink my beer, what business is it of anyone else's but my own? Who gets hurt the most by me not selling beer to Mexicans and me not allowing Mexicans to tour my facilities or work at my brewery. The Mexicans? No, you retards - it would be me. I would be the sole bearer of the burden. I would take the economic hit by cutting a large percent of the population out of my market, from the boycotts, from the beatings that ensue when they throw you out of town, and so on.

You see, there is no right for this type of government intrusion because the free market would eventually drive discrimination out because it is not profitable anymore. I am now a philosopher, and henceforth you shall read my tidbits.
