I thought this post kicked so much ass it deserved an OP of its own.

You want an honest debate?

There are no rights that are unlimited. Not on Free Speech, not on the RKBA. The notion that private property rights are, or should be, sacrosanct, is a viewpoint based in feudalism. It says that one is lord and master on one's property, and no outside interference will be tolerated. Frankly, many Libertarians, Teabaggers, and Conservatives, strike me as closet Feudalists.

IMO, the Rights of Property owners do NOT override the rights of minorities. The Founders recognized the concept of public good, when they limited patents. If they wanted to embrace the idea of unlimited private property rights, then they would have stated that patents are good for all eternity. If they wanted unlimited private party rights, they would have prohibited eminent domain. Once you start making property rights unlimited, then there is no end in what evil property owners can do, and you essentially lose control of your country.

We tried the concept of limited government under the Articles of Confederation, and it didn't work. Every state wanted to act like it's own Feudal Empire. That is why we have a Constitution, and a Federalist form of government.

So, yes, I think government has every right, and every responsibility to prohibit discrimination by private property owners. And I think whites who have Paul's ideology ARE racists. I guarantee you that if someone, put up a sign, saying "No Anti-Choice White Christians Wanted", he would be screaming his head off.
