I would guess that Jo considers BLM sacrosanct, the phrase "Black lives matter" is Holy Dogma, and "All lives matter" is blasphemy. Otherwise, how could she justify firing someone for a social media post?
They are anarchists, amoral and useless.
Interesting. Also false.
Dennis Kimbro, a great speaker who is today an authority on black entrepreneurship, used to write for me. He interviewed a black businessman who had been involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. When word got around that Rosa Parks had refused to move to the back of the bus, etc., a group of local black businessmen came to Martin Luther King, Jr.--the organizer of the boycott. The men told King they had made an offer to buy the bus company involved, which was private. The company had agreed to the offer.
As the entrepreneur put it to Kimbro, "We could sit where we wanted, because it would be our bus!"
King would have none of it. He pleaded with the black businessmen until he had convinced them not to buy the company. He wanted to make this a government issue, not solve the problem.
Only because “conservative” is a relative term.
In this country, we’re trying to CONSERVE our way of life, liberty, rule by law.
Thus I have zero problem being called conservative.
For the colonies, conserving would’ve meant clinging to the monarchical and parliamentary noble system. We do not do that.
they’re called libretardians for a reason.
Thanks for the history lesson. I did not know that.
The only problem is, WHO demanded that blacks sit in the back?
Just because it’s private doesn’t mean the fascists aren’t making laws they must follow.
Was it city or state ordinance that caused the BOTB or was it the company’s choice?
“Get privately owned companies to violate it”
That is no different than privately owned Hollywood blacklisting commies. What is really at work here is the support of the legacy media. They make it OK to do this. We have to somehow go over their heads and nullify their influence.
You may not know this, but back in the day, early FR had many right leaning libertarians. Some of our best members. Quite a few of us still around. Someone has to keep the place from being over run by the crazies.
Yes, and the people who destroy statues of Robrt E. Lee are either very ignorant of history or don't care about the truth. Lee fought for the South, but after the North won, rejoiced that slavery had ended.
Since, of course, every man should have the "liberty" to do what he wants.
Idiotic political party.
Exactly. Not much of a libertarian.
“Under her ideal system, woke corporations would feel even more empowered to trample free speech, ...”
The First Amendment prohibition against “abridging the freedom of speech” applies to the government, not to private-sector entities.
You need to study up on that.
By her own admission, her life does not matter.
I don’t need to “study up” on anything. Libertarians share MANY of the same values as today’s leftists, including the unquestioned right to abortion, legalization of all drugs, redefinition/abolition of marriage, porn in public view, public obscenity with no limits, etc. If they deny this, i can only ask a few “catechizing” questions to prove it. They are even against drunk driving laws and police enforcement of laws. Most leftertarians are extremely anti-police. This board is rife with examples.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is the way around the 1st Amendment for google etc.
Libertarian party being obsessed with color is racism.
All lives matter. Anybody who is fired because of that has grounds to sue the company for everything that it’s worth, but shouldn’t even bother, because he will lose.
White Lives Matter.
Blue Lives Matter.
Black Lives Matter is a marxist organization, supported by the democrat party, that seeks to overthrow the US constitutional form of government.
The Libertarian Party jumped the shark 24 years ago! A bunch of LIBERALS posing as a Constitution friendly party, but it is a Globalist friendly party.
