Sometimes I think the owner here deliberately takes contrarian positions. I know he likes to argue.

One hell of a thread so far. It reminds me of thread years ago where it appeared the Seoul brother turned into a frickin snowflake.
Let's be clear, I am a conservative. I am not a right winger. I like small government and liberty and that includes liberty for people who's views and lifestyles are at odds with my own.

They should be able to. The civil rights act should ONLY apply to government institutions. People should have the freedom to refuse service to you for whatever reason they wish as long as they are a private institution.
Yep this is my position.

I am late for golf, but before I go, I will kind of summarize with an example what I screwed up earlier.
Day to day commerce and morals/politcs should always be separate. Could you imagine if I lived in a small town in a purple state and there was only one on call electrician. But, he or she is a leftist and refuses to serve fiscal hawks like me even though my power is out and I am desperate. This is not how a functioning society should work.
Happy Saturday people. Eighteen holes and then cold ale awaits me.

In a free society a privately held institution should be allowed to refuse service for any reason they wish. Unless they are subsidized in any shape or form (including tax exemption) by federal tax dollars. Then all bets are off.
Hell, I despise racists but would support upholding the right of a business owner to refuse service to a person based on the color of their skin. I think that business owner is a piece of shit lowlife and would hope that his business is boycotted into bankruptcy but the federal government has no right whatsoever to tell him to do with his property, intellectual or otherwise.
Hell, we live in a society where the government ain't saying jack shit to banking institutions who are refusing to open accounts for conservatives but wants to conscript a Christian to use his talents to promote man on man anal drilling? Nah.. that shit ain't cool at all.

I remember in Guangzhou seeing signs at nightclubs saying "NO Black Man" allowed. GZ has a large African population. We Chinks are such xenophobes.

But you believe in a free market.....I don't see how the government forcing private business owners to cater events they don't want their business associated with is free. That's slavery and now the government runs your business.
I just screwed up here Dove. I responded to a post by Biggie, but I accidentally pressed edit instead of quote. I addressed what you are saying.

My position has not changed. I disagree with some of my fellow conservatives on the issue of refusing service. That should only be if someone represents a danger to the proprietor's health or safety.

Providing a service by opening your own business shouldn't make you public property.
