Private clubs are exempt.Private people aren't.Goldwater as well as Rand Paul do not support discrimination by the government. Private people shouldn't be forced by the government to not discriminate that’s their view
When they open their doors to the public, that changes.
Public accommodations.
Not if it is a private club…. Anyway a business that is privately owned should be allowed to be run as the owners see fit. Let them sink or swim based on that

When they open their doors to the general public, I know it broils conservatives, but you have to treat law abiding customers equally, be they white, black, Jewish Irish, whatever.
Sink or swim was tried for a long time. A lot of those who discriminated swam quite well, thanks to the abundance of racists.
Perhaps you wish a return to the "good ole days."
Another thread about how far the Republican Party has fallen in the last 150 years.
...yes, we liberals get it; that's why we're not Republicans.
Actually that is an over simplification. I was a Republican when they stood for balanced budgets, small government and individual rights. When Reagan began to borrow from foreign banks to cover the short fall for his tax breaks for the wealthy and ran the debt up to four times what it had been I suspected I was in the wrong party. Sure 'Nuff....I haven't voted Republican in a national election since I voted for Reagan in 1984. I've only voted three times in that 28 years and each time I voted against the spend and borrow Republicans.
So, now in protest, you vote in lockstep with a party that is for big government, can't even do a budget, throws individual rights down the toilet and throws billions away on bankrupt green energy and racks up trillions in debt?
You're a fucking retard.

Not when it serves the public interest or crosses the public path.
And Exposing the Intercollegiate Studies Institute | Commonweal Institute is a great read, demonstrating the anti-American insidiousness of the ISI.

???????
Slavery in the form of share cropping continued until Lyndon Johnson signed the civil rights laws of the mid 1960's.......100 years after Lincoln put something on paper.
Anyone who thinks slavery ended in the mid 1860's don't read much or didn't live in the southern U S during the 1940's and 1950's. Can you say Ku Klux Klan? A Christian organization by the way.
Paper freedom to blacks meant mass confusion all over the nation. It took nearly 100 years for the southern farmers to give an inch. The only thing that changed after the civil war was Blacks couldn't ride in the front of the bus. Ask Medgar Evers or Martin Luther King. Oh I forgot......you can't do that.
Hmm.., Weren't the majority of the South, Democrats between 1865 until the mid 1960's? It wasn't Republicans that segregated the Army, Was it?
It wasn't the Republicans who tried to keep the Little Rock High School segregated. Was it?
It wasn't Republicans that bombed churches in Mississippi. Was it?
They weren't Republicans that murdered all those Civil Rights people. Was it?
Fuck, some of you people are stupid!!
It boggles the mind to read some of the shit posted here by hyper-partisan nutbags on BOTH sides of the aisle.
The paradigm has shifted, folks, and the truth is that neither party gives a rat's ass about ANY of us!
Wake the Hell up already!
And as late as 2005, what happened?" On Monday, the U.S senate passed a non-binding resolution to apologize for its failure to enact anti-lynching legislation. The resolution states that the Senate "expresses the deepest sympathies and most solemn regrets of the Senate to the descendants of victims of lynching, the ancestors of whom were deprived of life, human dignity and the constitutional protections accorded all citizens of the United States."
More than 200 anti lynching bills were introduced in congress in the first part of the century and the House of Representatives passed anti-lynching bills three times. However, the legislation was repeatedly blocked by [Democrat] Senators from the South and almost 5,000 people - mostly African-Americans were lynched between 1882 and 1968."

...
Here are the 20 Senators who
1) refused to co-sponsor the anti-lynching resolution, and
2) refused a roll-call vote so they'd have to put their name on the resolution.Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Christopher Bond (R-MO)
Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Conrad Burns (R-MT)
Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Kent Conrad (D-ND)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Michael Crapo (R-ID)
Michael Enzi (R-WY)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Trent Lott (R-MS)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Richard Shelby (R-AL)
John Sununu (R-NH)
Craig Thomas (R-WY)
George Voinovich (R-OH)
Notice the overwhelming R's there?
Wall of shame.
You really don't seem to understand, so let me explain it to you.
1. Did you read the resolution?
2. If you did, how many times did it lay the blame, correctly, at the feet of the party that blocked the anti-lynching bills?
Guess?
Zero.
3.What does that suggest to the reader, and allow the media to posit?
Right...that it was white folks at fault....all of 'em.
And, by implication, Republicans equally as well as Democrats.
4. Now, go back and read my post: it was Senate Democrats who spent 100 years endorsing, or at least, encouraging, lynching.
That is the shame.
Your lack of education on the topic is almost as large a shame.
Are present day Christians accountable for any or all of the horrific crimes committed by Christians,
in the name of Christianity,
in the past?
If your answer is no, why would you be trying to hold present day Democrats accountable for the wrongdoings of long dead southern racists who called themselves Democrats?
Believe it or not, Republicans leaned left back then. :O

There are people still living today that suffered from democrat party backed segregation and discrimination even killings
