The Right to Discriminate

By Bruce Walker

The left has created a macabre myth that runs counter to the whole experience of mankind.  The left has persuaded the gullible masses of America, including, sadly, most conservatives, that "discrimination" by individuals and businesses is wrong and that it violates the Constitution.

Precisely the opposite is true.  All serious cognition and all honest moral judgments involve discrimination.  When individuals and businesses are not free to discriminate, then the power to determine what is true and false and good and bad becomes the sole property of the state – or that even more odious creature, that lobotomized Frankenstein monster, "society."

Instead of diverse opinions and actions freely manifest, which are what happens when the state and society are denied the power to force a certain viewpoint down the throats of private citizens and enterprises, what happens is that all debate, all differences, and all individuality are crushed based upon what those who run the state or manipulate society deem sacrosanct.

Consider the "facts" upon which the Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled against the Christian baker who refused to make a wedding cake for the same-sex couple.  The thick-necked bigots and ignoramuses on that commission stated as historical "facts" that religion – which always means Christianity to leftists – was used to justify the Holocaust and slavery.

In fact, as anyone with an open mind and a modest knowledge of modern history knows, the Holocaust was the direct consequence of the de-Christianization of Germany.  This was generally accepted by Jews in the West as well, and the "racialism" upon which Nazi hatred of Jews grew was rejected by Christians throughout virtually all history.  Germany, in which Christianity was almost dead by 1914, provided naturally the most fertile soil for the evil precepts of racialism, which is why Nazism took root only in Germany..

There is no freedom if one cannot discriminate.

There is no freedom if one cannot discriminate.

There is no LIFE on this planet if one is not free to discriminate!

[TomSea]

Blame too, the ACLU, they distort the constitution, 90% of the time.

Discrimination is how one makes a judgment on character and morality of actions and persons.  The Right of free speech is in itself a manifesto of the right to discriminate. As is freedom of the press and the free exercise of religion.

If we cannot discriminate, then we are slaves to the state and whatever things they insist we must think, believe and do to their satisfaction.

[Restored]

Not if it is systematic. That's how Jim Crow happened.

Dana Rohrabacher, GOPHouse Rep. from CA 48th Dist, has taken the position a home seller should be be able to refuse selling to homosexual(s), if he chooses.

I think a societal problem rises out of the "one" becoming the "majority".

[Free Vulcan]

The whole Leftist 14th amendment/discrimination argument is bogus. It only applies to those groups and supporters that vote the party line, all others don't have that same protection and can be discriminated against at will.

It's not equality or lack of discrimination they want, it's groups that are more equal with zero accountability under the law, and the second class citizens with lesser rights who must always defer to the protected classes under the law.

I should be able to refuse ANYBODY of I choose.  It is mine to sell, no one else's.

BS.  I discriminate against someone who wishes me harm.

I believe a majority will support me.

You calling a societal problem all discrimination is delusional.

The problem liberals have is that they already are allowing/promoting discrimination by people (notably blacks) who were discriminated against. They are against discrimination in general, but they allow it in certain group/individual situations.
They have numerous blacks-only graduation parties  and separate ceremonies at colleges and universities. There are also other events where whites are told they are not welcome.
 But there are also numerous places where males i.e. "transsexuals" are intruding on previously all-female places and events.  I would bet a great many liberals are quite unhappy with this latest (and predictable) turn of events when their own daughters are losing athletic contests to "females" with all the male anatomical equipment.
Liberals can't figure out what they want.
My own feeling is if I am selling something in a private transaction, why should I have to allow a person I despise to buy something I'm selling? 
I'm not  talking about not selling to non-whites or homosexuals. I'll gladly sell what I have to anybody regardless of ethnicity or sexual orientation if I don't dislike them personally.
But if I was holding a garage sell or had something advertised in the papers and Michael Moore, Matt Damon,  Al Sharpton or a slew of other Hollyweird and general leftist nuts walked on my property and wanted to buy something of mine, I'd tell them to get their worthless behinds off my property as fast as they could.
I agree in general with anti-discrimination laws, but I understand the right of a property owner to dispose of his or her property as they see fit.

To discriminate or not to discriminate.  That is the question.  Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous liberal attacks,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.

There is a job posting CFO of a multi-million dollar company. If there is no such thing as discrimination, every single applicant would have to be hired, even if they are 17 years old and in high-school. After all, we can't "discriminate" against people who have no skills, experience, or education. That would be wrong.

And the company winds up with 135 CFOs. And that is a good thing. That is social justice, as it is currently being called.

The same people who holler about discrimination being evil i.e. liberals are the same people who will go well out of their way to not hire or associate with conservatives.

And anyone who doesn't believe that need only visit the nearest university campus!

I end to think the opposite may be true.
In my view, the freedoms laid out in the bill of rights protects the few, or one, from the many.
Someone expressing what may be an unpopular opinion, has every right to do so, as much as those expressing opinions that the majority are in favor of.

Aye, there's the rub.
