Repeal The Civil Rights Laws

"What we are seeing in Arizona in microcosm is what we have witnessed in America for half a century: the growing intolerance of those who preach tolerance and the corruption of the concept of civil rights."



“Religious Right Cheers a Bill Allowing Refusal to Serve Gays.”

Thus did the New York Times’ headline, leaving no doubt as to who the black hats are, describe the proposed Arizona law to permit businesses, on religious grounds, to deny service to same-sex couples.

Examples of intolerance provided by the Times:

“In New Mexico, a photographer declined to take pictures of a lesbian couple’s commitment ceremony. In Washington State, a florist would not provide flowers for a same-sex wedding. And in Colorado, a baker refused to make a cake for a party celebrating the wedding of two men.”

The question Gov. Jan Brewer faces?

Should Christians, Muslims, Mormons who refuse, on religious grounds, to serve same-sex couples – that photographer, that florist, that baker, for example – be treated as criminals?

Or should Arizona leave them alone?

“Religious freedom,” said Daniel Mach of the ACLU to the Times, is “not a blank check to … impose our faith on our neighbors.”

True. But who is imposing whose beliefs here?

The baker who says he’s not making your wedding cake? Or those who want Arizona law to declare that either he provides that wedding cake and those flowers for that same-sex ceremony, or we see to it that he is arrested, prosecuted and put out of business?

Who is imposing his views and values here?

What we are seeing in Arizona in microcosm is what we have witnessed in America for half a century: the growing intolerance of those who preach tolerance and the corruption of the concept of civil rights.

We have seen the progression before.

In 1954, the Supreme Court declared that segregation in public schools was wrong and every black child must be allowed to attend his or her neighborhood school. By 1968, the court was demanding that white children be forcibly bussed across entire cities to insure an arbitrary racial balance.

Under the civil rights acts of the 1960s, businesses were told that in hiring, promotion, pay, and benefits, black and white, men and women must be treated alike. Equality of opportunity.

But, soon, that was no longer enough. We needed equality of result.

Corporations were ordered to maintain extensive records of the race, gender, ethnicity and sexual preferences of their entire workforce to prove they were not guilty of discrimination.

And if your workforce is insufficiently diverse today, you are a citizen under suspicion in a country we used to call the Land of the Free.

Consider how far we have come.

Virtually all decisions to hire, fire, promote or punish employees, to oversee the sale and rental of housing, to ensure that all minorities have access to all restaurants, hotels and motels, are under the jurisdiction of these minions who are right out of Orwell’s “1984.”

Scores of thousands of bureaucrats – academic, corporate, government – are on watch, overseeing our economy, patrolling our society, monitoring our behavior.

A radical idea: Suppose we repealed the civil rights laws and fired all the bureaucrats enforcing these laws.

Does anyone think hotels, motels and restaurants across Dixie, from D.C. to Texas, would stop serving black customers? Does anyone think there would again be signs sprouting up reading “whites” and “colored” on drinking foundations and restrooms?

Does anyone think restrictive covenants against Jews would be rewritten into contracts on houses? Does anything think that bars and hotels would stop serving blacks and Hispanics?

In his indictment of George III, Jefferson wrote of the king: “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”

Is that not what we have today in spades?

Why do we need this vast army of bureaucrats?

They exist to validate the slander that America is a racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic country which would revert to massive discrimination were it not for heroic progressives standing guard.

And, indeed, some bigots might revert to type. But so what?

Cannot a free people deal with social misconduct with social sanctions?

And isn’t this what freedom is all about? The freedom of others to say things we disagree with, to publish ideas we disbelieve in, even to engage in behavior we dislike?

As for the Christians of Arizona and same-sex unions in Arizona, if they don’t like each other, can they not just avoid each other? After all, it’s a big state.

Why will we not see the lapsing or repeal of civil rights laws whose work is done? That would mean cracking the rice bowls of hundreds of thousands of diversicrats who would then have to apply for jobs from folks they have spent their lives harassing.

Last year, the Supreme Court struck down the pre-clearance provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Yet, somehow, Mississippi still has more black elected officials than any other state.

If the conditions that called for the laws of the 1960s have ceased to exist, why do those laws still exist?

Does a law or Bill ever get repealed when it no longer means what it use to? :?

When the so-called "tolerant" write a law that FORCES tolerance among the so-called "intolerant", are those that called themselves 'tolerant" still "tolerant"?

Or have they, in fact, become the "intolerant"? :???:

YEA The left is so tolerant that when Obama made his big speech about being civil to each other when Gabby C was shot, they IGNORED him and went on the attack blaming everything on Conservatives. Did Obama correct their action Nope he stayed SILENT. Did he turn down Maher's million dollars when he attacked Palin with filthy name calling NOPE Obama took the money and stayed SILENT. When he made his big speech about families being off limits in the election did he correct his party when they destroyed the Palin family in the media NOPE he stayed SILENT. The only thing that is TOLERANT about the Left is how they treat each other when they ignore the rules of engagement if it means the enemy is a CONSERVATIVE. Islamic Terrorist get better treatment than the lefts political opponents. :mad:

As I stated yesterday it's not so much that I am against the gays, it's their and the media's attempt to force the issue. I believe that Rush hit the nail on the head in that this and other issues are a form of bullying and it's sooo ironic because the left has been so wound up on that issue. How is it not bullying to force religous, sexual, gender, unions, or any other demands by minorities to force change to their demands. Since when is it the NFLs, American Airlines, NBC, or Apple's business the right to threaten anyone, state, or other business.
You know, it's not real smart to poke a stick into a bee hive repeatedly and those who keep this up make get a lot more than change. Just sayi'n

The new law that Arizona passed and is being threaten over was passed to protect people that do not want to be forced to go against their religion to provide a service to people. It comes out of the fact a baker was sued and threatened with prison time over not baking a cake for a gay couples wedding and a photographer not wanting to take pictures of a gay couples wedding. Ask yourself why would you want anyone that does not want to preform these services anywhere close to your celebration? Can you imagine what might be in that cake if a person was FORCED TO BAKE IT BY THREATS OF PRISON TIME? Can you imagine the quality of the photos if a person was FORCED TO TAKE THE PHOTOS?

This is no different than the left claiming there is a war on women because Republicans don't want to pay for a woman's birth control. They claim because a Republican will not pay for it they are LIMITING A WOMAN'S ACCESS.

BULL, If the baker doesn't want to bake the cake there are other bakers, if the photographer doesn't want to take your pictures there are other photographers and if a Republican will not pay for your birth control PAY FOR IT YOURSELF and stop b*tching about having your access limited. :x

When are these people going to stop forcing their lifestyles on the rest of us? They claim they want to be treated like everyone else NO THEY DON'T THEY WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE THEY ARE SPECIAL.

If they wanted to be treated the same, we would not be seeing GAY Pride Parades and BLACK PRIDE Month. . If there was a White Pride Parade or a White PRIDE Month they would be considered RACIST. But we are all expected to stand by while they parade their lifestyles down the street and if we dare say anything we are threatened with PRISON TIME. :roll:

I hope the Arizona bill is signed into law and when the Dems, Blacks and Gays start protesting about it I hope they are told it is the LAW OF THE LAND IN ARIZONA and if you don't like it there are other states to live in. :roll:

I'm sure my little rant will be considered by Oldtimer and his friends he sends here as somehow racist and anti gay. But let me say this as clear as I can I don't care what color your skin is or what you do in your bedroom or who you do it with but don't except me to treat you SPECIAL because you are different from me. Don't expect me to pay for your lifestyle, take Personal Responsibility and stop thinking you deserve a free ride because you think you are SPECIAL. :wink:

the Governor bowed to the media pressure and caved.. as the gays danced in the streets to their new song.. sue.. over anything just sue them into submission..

liberals forcing others to support their causes for decades now has come down to this.
