Thank God Libertarians aren't going anywhere because they are
too stupid to realize what they want could backfire on them. For instance, I'm listening to the lunch counter argument from several losers on Thom Hartmann. It seems to me that if it ever became law that you keep certain people out of your restaurant, hell, if I owned a lunch counter, I would refuse to serve white people. At the very least in order not to lose business, I would put a guy at the door with a rope, like they have in trendy night clubs, who would let all the brown people in first and keep the white people behind the rope and if there were some tables available, then I'd let them be seated.

If I owned a business, I would pay white people half of what I pay the brown people and I would hire them last. I would have bathrooms in that business that white people wouldn't be allowed to use. I wouldn't allow smoking or drinking coffee except for the managers. I could go on an on about the abuses the lack of laws could cause in the work place.

I mean those morons should be careful of what they wish for.

1. As I've said before about Libertarians....
they combine the worst traits of both Dems and Rethugs.

Never met a libertarian yet who could find his own ass with both hands and a map.

2. I would hire illegal aliens and not have to pay taxes on them
(I really wouldn't, but Paul wouldn't care if I did.)

5. the problem is...
(and I realize you are simply making a point, which I agree with)

if you were to do this, it would not have nearly the same devastating impact that the reverse practices had in the 50s and 60s, because there would be plenty of other restaurants around that would serve those white people. And they would have no trouble getting higher paying jobs, etc. So the losers might respond that "that's your right" to your story, secure in knowledge that it wouldn't be that bad if someone actually did this to them.

7. Libertarians do not think monolithically. There are all different kinds.

10. Libertarians...
are just here to create a distraction while the corporations loot everything. Really, they don't do anything and nobody listens to them. The entire "libertarian movement" is a red herring for corporate greed.
