“Activists are searching out small businesses to destroy, if the owner doesn’t want to make a cake celebrating gay weddings. These predators want owners financially destroyed, and preferably jailed, for such a hate crime. Of course, the actual hate crime is calling down state violence on the peaceful.
In a free society, unlike the current USA, customers are free to choose the commercial enterprises they wish to patronize, and owners may make their own decisions. Virtually no business owner will turn down a paying customer–Jim Crow laws, for example, had to be enforced by state violence. But if you own property, you should be able to make the rules.
Some years ago, a woman colleague from the Ron Paul congressional campaign and I went to lunch in a gay area of Houston. We weren’t in the all-male restaurant for long before some of the patrons began muttering nasty and obscene things. As we prepared to leave, the manager asked us to go.
Both of us–being libertarians–upheld the restaurant’s right to discriminate. That is tolerance. Indeed, what decent person would seek to force himself, at the point of a government gun, on those who do not want him? Freedom of association and disassociation is a bedrock of liberty and social peace.” ~ Lew Rockwell
Shame on America for tolerating such abuse of their First Amendment rights.

Something I wrote a while ago and still lives one…
“When anyone presents themselves as moral leaders on any platform at any level, their actions automatically commit them to living by a higher standard….Which means their actions weigh even more than their words than they did before speaking up…And when actions are hypocritical as they come, have not those actions only proven the validity of the argument for their counterparts? or have not those actions proven the owners lack the wisdom and intelligence to present their argument?..”
Add to this the best way to command honor: humility begets respect which begets honor… all of this builds trust… Do this any other way and it becomes a demand for respect which destroys any and all trust — and is nearly impossible from which to recover.
Something of which many are not aware as well as many need to learn — fast…
