In case you weren't aware, the L.P. has a plank which calls for the dismantling of our civil rights laws, essentially making it legal to say "We don't serve those of race X here." And here you are now whining about Jim Crow laws. Do you favor the repeal of civil rights legislation? Being conservative means we are big on justice, and prejudice is an injustice.

Why should I answer your questions if you refuse to answer mine? By the way, nice use of a straw man argument: I didn't say anything about the Libertarian party platform, yet you drag it into this thread and demand my response to it.

Conservatives are big on forcibly imposing justice on voluntary agreements? Would it be conservative to mandate that individuals have friends of other races?

CJ, as usual you are misrepresenting the position of the LP. Civil rights laws prohibiting government discrimination are fine - laws preventing the free exercise of the right of association between individuals are not. Jim Crow laws are clearly a case of government being used to discriminate against blacks.

Try telling the truth for a change.
