If not a Goldwater how about at least a Reagan? I haven't heard much talk about limited government out of the R's lately.

You mean Barry Goldwater who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and sided with the Dixiecrats? You mean Reagan who signed the Mulford Act as governor of California? Remember, the Mulford Act was blatant gun-control. And, the Reagan who did not dismantle the Department of Education and offered amnesty to illegal aliens?

Isn't it amazing how we pick, choose, then ignore that which is not expedient?

I think the Civil Rights act set a dangerous precedent. I don't think the Feds should be able to tell a businessman who he can or can not exclude on his own property. The entire notion of property is based on exclusion.

Sec. 201. (a) All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.

For example, a Muslim in traditional dress walks into a gun store and asks to purchase an AK-47 and dozens of magazines. The owner refuses to sell and asks him to leave the property. While the owner may be bigoted and misguided, I think it is within the owner's property rights.

A person who is not racist because it is illegal is quite distinct from a person who is not racist because it immoral. Destroying the choice destroys responsibility.

Now we have slid to the point where a businessman can be arrested for smoking in his own bar. What's next, forced inclusion of homosexuals in the church? Why not, we've already established the Feds not the people as the ultimate moral authorities.

I hadn't even born or been previously aware of this act. Interesting reading though, and blatantly unconstitutional.
