You are correct that breach of contract is a different matter. I was speaking of government enforced laws on discrimination.

The part about a private business losing rights by opening its doors to the public, however, is incorrect. It is still a private business, and it ought to be able to accept or reject any customer for any reason, even if that reason is distasteful to the rest of us. I guess the only reason business can use now is if the person isn’t wearing shoes or a shirt. They do not have to let anyone and everyone in their place of business, though, and can ask people to leave the premises. That is not against the law unless the person claims it was a case of racial discrimination. Next, will be sexual orientation, and we will see where that leads.

I understand why people are upset that anyone would treat people this way, but do you not see that the government is using this to limit freedom? If you want to rent a room in your house, you may not have a choice to refuse anyone if the government says that you are discriminating against him in some way. That is government running roughshod over your rights.

Again, check out what Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell have to say on the subject.

Perhaps the 14th Amendment has been used to supersede the freedom of association clause, but as I understand it, the 14th Amendment applies only to discrimination by government. It guarantees equal protection under the law, which is as it should be. It does not say anything about individuals, clubs, or private business. Well, I don’t think it does anyway. I’m no legal scholar. :-)

I’ve some sympathy for your position, however there is a distinction between a private business, as in privately owned, which you’re referring to, and a business, possibly privately owned which offers it’s services to the public. If you open a bar, privately owned, and the law says you can’t serve anyone under 21, you can’t. If you can’t serve an inebriant, you can’t. And there are similar laws that require you to serve people without discrimination based on race, gender, religion etc. IMO, kind of an academic issue, I’m not sure it’s something that needs to be changed. The option of a private venue is there, what’s missing is the demand

So, what job has the Pakistani hotel owner been offered in the Obama campaign machine?

Thanks Milagros.

What about Hindus? Would the Paki owner allow Hindus into the pool? No?

Lester Maddox has nothing on an average Paki.

Before his death, the multi-millionaire father of the hotel's present owner endowed the "New Horizons School" in Pasadena where young students are subtly indoctrinated at an early age in the importance of establishing an American caliphate and replacing the Constitution with Sharia Law.

There's a lot going on under the radar in this country in regards to Islam.
