Rand Paul Wants To Abolish The Americans With Disabilities Act!

[??????????]

Sounds like a good start.

[??????????]

What is irrational about that? The 14th amendment only refers to elections. Just because it's been bastardized doesn't eliminate that fact.

[??????????]

I didn't say the state franzl, I said private individuals. Govt as an entity doesn't have the sam right to discriminate like a private citizen does.

[??????????]

Franzl, should ethnic businesses be forced to hire a different race or group? Should hooters be forced to hire men as waiters?

[??????????]

And again, why should a private business not be allowed to discriminate?

[??????????]

I feel nothing but the vilest contempt for Paul and his ilk on this issue.

Yes, because in this country their is only ever one "right" side of the debate and anyone who disagrees with the "popular" thought is "vile" or whatever choice pejorative some lib chooses.

Sorry Nym, their are VALID arguments in regards to many many laws in this country. To demonize someone who doesn't concur always with the other side is intellectually dishonest.

States, political opinions are subjective....I see no reason not to feel contempt for a position that would affect a family member directly like Nym said.

By that thought I should oppose all drug legalization because my father died partially as a result of drugs and alcohol. Not that I don't honestly feel sympathy for Nyms plight, I really do, but should someone be a prohibitionist because their parent, sibling, spouse died of alcoholism?

It's not quite the same thing. You aren't forced to buy alcohol or drugs if they're legal....whereas you are being denied a right if you're disabled in this case.

The problem with the media is when someone opposes points in a popular bill they scream that the opponent wants to eliminate the entirety of the bill. Randi Rhodes was claiming yesterday that Rand Paul is a segregationist who hates the disabled, etc. I highly doubt Paul would want to get rid of the entire bill. I know I certainly wouldn't but I am sure their are problems with that bill, like any other.
