Governor Pence finally did it (POL)

Aha!

It seems snidely333 has a problem with the dress code of the Legio IX Hispana. DonDiego suggests he take it up with Caesar.

Still don't understand why it's constitutional to force any business to "allow" anybody become a customer it doesn't agree with. That includes other races, cultures and smokers. It's called freedom, or used to be. We've changed our language so no one really knows what is really means anymore. Of course I'll now be called names without anyone really knowing where I stand on any particular issue since I only gave my opinion on feedom. But then, that's the new world we now live in.
Area51 you're not playing the game correctly. First you pick your side and then when a topic comes up you find information to support your side. Come back here with the information, then add a few insults for the "other" side and post. Rinse and repeat. It is daily comic relief. The immovable object against the irresistible force.

Here's the issue: “Does one lose the right to associate only with those whom one chooses when one opens a business to the public?”

DonDiego opines it is a legitimate issue deserving open debate. But it is no longer a legal issue within the United States.

The question was settled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, . . . specifically 42 U.S. Code § 2000a - Prohibition against discrimination or segregation in places of public accommodation:
"(a) Equal access
All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.
(b) Establishments affecting interstate commerce or supported in their activities by State action as places of public accommodation; lodgings; facilities principally engaged in selling food for consumption on the premises; gasoline stations; places of exhibition or entertainment; other covered establishments"

So as of 1964 one does not have such a "right to associate" in the United States.
Lester Maddox, owner of The Pickwick restaurant adjacent to the Georgia Tech campus and, later, the Lester Maddox Cafeteria in Atlanta learned this lesson when he closed his doors to avoid paying a $200-per-day fine for failing to serve African-Americans under the Act.
Remember the "Hands up, don't shoot!" lies told by most Liberals? The subject in Indiana is different, yet the lies are again coming from the intolerant Left.

The only ones I have seen told so far are the ones by the bigot Mike Pence. The only thing Republicans seem to be upset about is that the media is calling bull shit on their lies this time.

How do you answer for the economic harm done to our great State by Pence and his fellow bigots in the legislature?


I think Pence officially caved today. He said he wants language added to the law that specifically prohibits business discrimination....which is a massive jump from his "no comment" strategy on Sunday.

Liberals like the Republican mayor of Indianapolis? He's probably just good at basic economics and realizes a 40 million dollar investment in his city is better than ....not having a 40 million dollar investment in his city.

Funny how the party that claims to champion the principals of business and capitalism is scaring off massive investment and conventions in the state. Revenue takes a back seat to protecting a bigot's right to discriminate. Just like at the Federal level - Republicans ruin the economy and Democrats clean it up.


so why are so many cities led by democrats facing bankruptcy?
So which mouth breather on the AM radio told you that?


Oh let's see
Detroit democrats as majors since 1961
Philadelphia same since 1952
Wonderful Chicago not sure when they have had a republican mayor
it is easy to find em'

Which molehill? Please be specific.




So Forkie is suggesting next Indiana will be hanging blacks, making certain areas white only, making those people of any color other than white sit at the back of the bus, and call all whites masser?

Boy you are so full of sh!t.
