“The ‘public accomodations’ portion of the 1965 Civil Rights Act did away with personal property rights. Goldwater warned this would be the outcome.”
And Goldwater was right.
But it’s not hard today to find a whole herd of conservatives singing the praises of the 1965 Civil Rights Act and bragging that the GOP was responsible for passing it.
And the GOP does deserve the blame for this monstrosity; primarily the Rockefeller wing, the arch nemesis of conservatives.
Americans too young to have been around in 1965 hear Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck boasting about the GOP passing this Mother of Thought Crime laws and they think it’s a good thing and something conservatives should be proud of.
If that’s the case then everyone ought to quit complaining about government bureaucrats threatening to prosecute them over anything that violates the progressive religion regarding race, sex, gender, etc., because the Civil Rights Act opened the door for it.
How come we weren't invited? I did promise I wouldn't vomit when it was my turn to kiss whatever they had selected as the "Bride."
I wonder what the older "More Enlightened" Goldwater would have thought about it?
