'America Was Never That Great’

[francoHFW]

Cellblockhead doesn’t have the integrity to admit is was liberals who fought for civil and women’s rights while conservatives were dead set against it.

/----/ Argue with this: U.S. Senate: Civil Rights Filibuster Ended

Idiot playing the old stupid republican / Democrat game again because he’s too embarrassed to admit CONSERVATIVES held up civil rights progress for years.

/-----/ The 14th Amendment was written by radical Republicans who set out to alter fundamentally the relationship between the federal government and the states by providing an enforceable federal "check" on the three branches of state government. The Privileges or Immunities Clause barred state laws that violated fundamental liberties either by discrimination or generally, the Due Process Clause mandated that these laws be applied to particular persons by reliable procedures, and the Equal Protection Clause mandated that state executive officials extend the protection of these laws to all persons. With that amendment's Enforcement Clause as their constitutional warrant, these same Republicans went on to enact civil rights acts every bit as radical as those enacted in the 1960s. Indeed, the laws would have been even more radical had they not been impeded by Democratic filibusters in the Senate and (as was then permitted) in the House. Confronting continued Southern resistance, the Republicans then secured the enactment of the 15th Amendment, which was designed to be the ultimate voting rights act aimed at racial discrimination. Conservatism and Civil Rights

/-----/ The 14th Amendment was written by radical LIBERALS who set out to alter fundamentally the relationship between the federal government and the states.

History illiterate doesn’t know or want to admit the GOP is not the party of Lincoln anymore and used to be the liberals when the Dems were conservative.

All progress in the 20th century occurred because of liberals while conservatives fought them tooth and nail.

/----/ Yeah, rewrite the article so you can live with yourself. Democrats are racist to the core, wrote and enforced the Jim Crow laws and built the KKK to terrorize the freed slaves. You people are despicable.

Where have you been the last 55 years? All the conservatives and racists have been in the GOP since 1984 anyway...

So you believe there must be a second tier of citizen who deserves to be treated as such. And you call that essential to freedom.

No one said anything about "tiers." If I want to throw leftwing scumbags out of my restaurant, that is my right. If a black person wants to have a night club for black people only, that should be his right. That's called "freedom of association." It's an act of discrimination.

No one disputes your personal right to be an asshole. You freely exercise that right every day right here at USMB. But the state must never sanction discrimination in any form.

So, if I prefer the company of blue eyed blondes over the company of redheads, the state must sanction me? What if I refuse to drive a Ford or a Chevy, should the state sanction me? I have a circle of friends that does not include any gays, or Blacks. Should the state sanction me?

You, and your moronic ilk want to decide for me, and others, what we have the right to discriminate about. A Black man can throw me out of his business, just because he doesn't like White people, but if I throw him out of my business, I have the state to fight. A LGBQ cross dresser can call me any name in the book, and there isn't a thing I can do about it, but if I call the asshole a ******, I have the state to fight. Some people are more equal than others, and this is the free society that you dream about?

You idiots seem to have a hard time keeping two distinct thoughts in your ossified minds at once.

You have the personal right to be a bigot, an asshole, a crude, rude boor. But the state says you must not discriminate in Commerce. Unless your patron is not a criminal, acting unruly, dressed appropriately for the circumstance and has payment in hand, you must accept his business. If no crime, infraction or disruption is taking place, each and every American citizen enjoys the right of open Commerce.

You can't set up separate facilities for separate races. You cannot deny Commerce because you think your patron's demeanor makes you feel icky. You cannot deny services because you believe your patron's lifestyle conflicts with your own narrow beliefs. Unless a crime is going to be committed based on your interchange, you cannot arbitrarily decide that patron needs your merchantile imperator.

We're not talking about what the law says. We're talking about what the Constitution says. It doesn't give the federal government the authority to regulate private businesses.

The federal government most certainly does have the right to regulate private business. Unless you think the federal government cannot tell a company they cannot dump barrels of chemicals into the river, a bus line can put African Americans in certain seats, a restaurant can have separate facilities for different racial groups or a company can withhold pay for work. Maybe an airline wants to fly to different state or countries. Does the FAA have any say in their decision?

Your notion of laizzes faire Capitalism is incorrect.
