So, here we go, back to the "ideal" vision of America as Teabaggers see it through the technicolor goggles of Hollywood.

Remember this scene from the (pre-Civil Rights Act) 1956 classic movie GIANT?

Well, it appears to be Rand Paul's ideal vision of America, where every restaurant owner has the right to refuse service to people based on their race, religion or nationality. And getting a meal in a restaurant when you have the "wrong" skin color will not depend so much on your standing under the Constitution and Federal Law as it does on Rock Hudson's boxing skills.

2. Don't worry, I'm sure the 'free market' will take care of that. No need for laws. ;)

3. This is what regressive teabaggers want us to go back to
This is what they mean by "family values" or the "good ole days"

5. Personally, I think it would have been better if they'd ended the scene with...
...the little old guy flooring Sarge with a right hook, and then tossing an old newspaper clipping on his chest with a headline that reads "Pedro 'The Hammer' Garcia Wins 1935 World Lightweight Championship for a Third Time."
