Rich Lowry, a writer for Politico, pitching a sissy fit over Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's vero of the state's gay discrimination bill, thinks that outlawing discrimination should not fall under the purview of our government but should be led by the free market.
Ponder that for a moment....
Do you really want Wal-Mart, which can't even pay its employees a living wage, to decide about your constitutionally guaranteed rights? Or McDonald's? How about Wall Street firms, like Goldman-Sachs and Merrill Lynch, who nearly destroyed our economy and left millions of Americans in dire economic straits? I know that most of such thoughts tend to think more of small businesses (e.g., wedding photographers or wedding cake bakers) but it's a small slope to corporations that franchise numerous outlets or corporations deciding it's okay for their offices in the South to discriminate against African-Americans.
I mean it's bad enough that our Supreme Court, as led by John Roberts, is the best that money can buy and has virtually decimated the American worker and consumer--but there's someone dim-witted enough to think
that we should let corporations have the right to decimate our civil rights as well?
What happens if it's more profitable to discriminate?
Peace,
