Goldwater was a lifelong member of the NAACP and only opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on libertarian grounds because of its restrictions on private businesses. He voted for every CRA before it.

Won't somebody think of the racist business owners? Sad

As I've stated before, it's abhorrent that the government tells business owners they can't refuse customers for whatever reason(s) they choose.

It's abhorrent that there are business owners who are racist.

Libertarians are social reactionaries, not social liberals.

It's not our place to force people to be good. People have a right to be scumbags.

Yes it is our place. That's what laws are for.

No, not really. Obviously, every society legislates some degree of morality, but morality alone should not be the basis for creating laws.

No, laws are designed to protect people and their property. Who does it hurt if a racist restaurant owner refuses to serve a black family? Himself and his business. They'll just go somewhere else to eat.

Social reactionaries support SSM, ending the drug war, and etc.?

I'm personally fine with being discriminated against.
