Try posting liberal threads on DailyKos. This is not a liberal forum. Liberals are welcome to debate as well as liberaltarians which we have a good number of that lurk around.

Excellent and true. You have an absolute right of conscience.

Controllers just don’t believe you should use it against them.

They hate individual rights, they like collective ones. Individuals are so messy.

When you have no conscience who needs a clause?

You should control your property and as properly read you have a right to discriminate - free association.

I purport that race should not be a deciding factor in any way - period.

For government only, individuals may freely associate.

The right to discriminate against person who has the proper information, credit, and money to rent an apartment, infringes on that persons right to live where they want in a free society.

I disagree. We have the right to live where we want but that doesn't mean we have a right to force others to provide us with a place to live. My right to live where I want means only that no third person can get between me and the seller/landlord who agrees to provide me with a place to live. In the same way, I have the right to marry any woman I choose so long as we aren't genetically related, etc. But that doesn't give me the right to force any woman on eHarmony.com to become my wife if she doesn't like me, regardless of her reasons.

Or think of it this way. Suppose I'm a landlord and you want to rent out my property, but I decide to turn it into a daycare instead. By exercising my property rights, I have prevented you from living where you want. But have I violated your rights by doing so?

The real issue, unspoken but loud and clear is:

Should health care workers have ...... conscience? not,
“Should health care workers have “the right” of conscience?”
When in heaven’s name was man’s conscience something that he did or did not have a RIGHT TO? This is strange...
a different meaning of the word, I fear, which obamakins’ athiest minions are forcing on us in subtle ways by changing our meaning of words.

and, conversely, should people have consciences? this is a serious thing... if obamakins can throw out the reality of a conscience because it can’t be seen... the rest of our humanity will come under assault.

Why on earth would I do that? I have never posted or even visited the daily Kos, nor have I ever posted to a liberal thread on FR, except to debunk the premise. Libertarians and RINO's are not conservative socially and will always be losers.
