Sorry, but "where the police are obliged to protect your personal property and your life" is an absolute load of crap. About all they are obliged to do is take a report after the fact. The courts back that up. They can be standing on an adjacent street corner and have no obligation whatsoever to protect you from a crime. Cops are historians.
How on earth do you think the government subsidies home schooling? We home school our son and pay property taxes that include subsidizing government schools. In the few areas that have some sort of voucher system, then those people may be getting some of their money back that was stolen (taxed) to support government schools.
Sorry, but you are full of shit. Obama is making no effort to improve the economy, quite the opposite. He took the mess Bush left in the ditch, an drove it over a cliff. We're just waiting to hit bottom. Hi intent is to destroy the US economy and he's done quite well with that.
Yeah, improved health care. I can tell you that this "improved health" is already costing my family of 3 over $3000 per year more in insurance premiums.
Sorry, no. The TSA has not stopped a single individual with ill intent. None. The TSA is simply being used to condition people to accept these completely unacceptable attacks on individual liberty. It should be completely trashed. The government has no business here.
No - Thugs are not going to stop regardless of rights. Giving an 70 year old the ability to defend themselves when a 250lb thug kicks their door down is a good thing. There is a huge difference between self-defense and initiation of force on the part of the thug.
Well, in short, yes. That doesn't mean I think it's the RIGHT thing to do, but nor do I think the government telling someone they can't do it is the right thing either. If someone wants to post a sign like that, then I think they should be able to. They also have to deal with the economic (and other) consequences of their actions. How many people would shop in a store these days that posted "NO BLACKS", "NO MEXICANS", etc.? I don't think they would stay in business very long.
And no, I don't think a gas station should be required to operate the pump for anyone, for any reason. Now, if they are smart and want to attract customers, they probably would offer that service. But using the force of government to require them to do so, is immoral and WRONG!
"This is, quite frankly, a perfectly sensible ruling"
Hardly - this is, once again, the government stepping in on private business, and telling them how they have to run their company. If I want to have a store that is only accessible by climbing a wall, then I make that choice with the understanding that I am limiting who can come into my store. But that should be the end of it. No one has a right to shop at any store. Period. That is completely asinine. If you don't like the fact that I chose to make you climb a wall, then vote with your feet/money and shop elsewhere. If I cut out enough people, I will either change or go out of business. This applies to ANY limit place on who may shop at a store. If you are stupid enough to limit who can buy your products, then you have to live with it. But government has NO business coming in and telling you to change it. Period.

It would be just one more thing the "pay to play" FDA has no business being involved in.
