(26,314 posts)and certainly too subjective for law.
I'm not pro gun control but I have no desire for a pro gun community to deny operation to a bike shop owner who belonged to Brady or some such shit.
The view point is toxic and can only result in a political test for the availability of opportunity based on majority sentiment and focus on random issues unrelated to the functioning of the enterprise or they would be attacked on those much more solid grounds.
How about putting such standards into the hands of the "war on Christmas" loons?
You also surely accept that there is no such loophole in the law. The claim is existing laws can be utilized to ends that would mean some evil and nasty shit would be perfectly kosher and we all know it sure as shit wouldn't fly.
We've seen calls for use of community exclusive franchise bullshit which we all know would have meant they may have had to to tolerate the _____ at the lunch counter but swear to God the people of the fine community of Bigotsbourough will never be faced with sitting at ______ lunch counter.
No matter how it is sliced, the argument is for limiting opportunity based on political test by government and carried out in some extremes would just break down to whim and favor of whoever has a majority of the apparatus.
All that said, I'm perfectly fine with dictating by charter that companies comply with proper standards in operation. Make that old bigot welcome gay people to his "family", promote them, place them in positions of authority based on merit and he can seethe all he wants and write his checks to other bigots to the cows come to beg for us to eat more chicken.
