The fact, which has been posted numerous times on this topic that the Tea Party has no leader, does not matter to the Government Run Press, i.e. MSM. Their attempts to tar Conservatives, Libertarians, and Tea Party supporters as racists is a deliberate political ploy that seeks to destroy all opposition to Socialism. The sad reality is that we can no longer discuss the proper role of government in America, especially with anything that has to do with race. In a free society, people have a right to be stupid. If a business owner decides that he does not want the business from a specific group of people, regardless of whether or not it has anything to do with race or religion, he should have the right to make bad business decisions without government intervention. The idea that the government has the authority to tell someone who they can and cannot serve is the worst sort of totalitarianism. This is what happens when equality rather than freedom is the basis for government. Equality can only be obtained by governmental force. Of course, the government gets to decide what qualifies a equality. As we have seen, Congress excludes itself from the laws that it imposes on everyone else, and that includes racial quotas and regulations. In a society that is grounded on individual freedom, which includes freedom from an intrusive government, people would respect the freedom of others to make their own decisions, even if those decisions hurt the individual that makes them.

Well said. And worth repeating:

” This is what happens when equality rather than freedom is the basis for government. Equality can only be obtained by governmental force.”
