Today's WTF?!?!?!

You’ve probably seen the ongoing hoopla surrounding Rand Paul, a self proclaimed Republican Libertarian who suggested the Civil Rights act of 1964 went too far when it required an end to discrimination in private businesses. I guess his dogmatic libertarian principles are offended whenever the Government intrudes, even for so basic and accepted an idea as forbidding racial discrimination at lunch counters, hotels etc. So he’s extreme. But now John Stossel, a reporter in the mold of Geraldo Rivera has taken this idea up on Fox News and is calling for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act. Here is a quote:

"It's time now to repeal that part of the law because private businesses ought to get to discriminate. And I won't ever go to a place that's racist and I will tell everybody else not to and I'll speak against them. But it should be their right to be racist."

Yes, lets go back to “all white” hotels and restaurants. I am just appalled by this entire concept and it is foolish to allow it to grow. Here is a website where you can sign a letter to Fox and get Stossel fired before he creates a following. This is something that needs to get nipped in the bud. Dan
