re: #348 Obdicut

Are you in favor of businesses being able to ban people based on their race?

Supporters of free speech end up defending people’s rights to say stupid and nasty things. At least Voltaire is with Ron Paul, as he said: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

When will you understand Ron Paul thinks it’s disgraceful to be racist, but thinks, as any good libertarian, it shouldn’t be illegal? A lot of well-intended legislation to combat racism (as for example affirmative action laws) ends up having to define elements of “good” racism: when it attempts to support minorities, etc.

Or do you believe any evil in society should be rooted out through state violence? Are you not able to see you’re in good company then with the theocratic fascists LGF regularly attacks?
