    And you guys won the court case saying that businesses do have the right to deny certain services. Thought you would be happy that it also applies to internet companies. Unintended consequences are a bitch.

    What Is a Protected Class under Anti-Discrimination Law?

    A phrase commonly referred to when discrimination laws are discussed is “protected class.” Many people do not know what this means, but it simply refers to a group of people protected from discriminatory laws, practices, and policies.

    The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects certain groups from undue discrimination. Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal anti-discrimination laws, a person may not be discriminated against based on any of the following:

    Facebook also banned white nationalism and white supremacy.

    Will this site do the same?

    Or would that eliminate 90% of the participants?

    Nope. I'm a "real" liberal at heart....

    I say that I might disagree with what you say, but I'll fight for your right to say it.

    Never hear that kinda talk from modern Democrats.

    So you'll either change your sig to promote anything I want and publish my views for me, or you are just in much in favor of censorship.

    I rank somewhere around Milton Friedman in the political spectrum.

    Tell me more...

    Same here. Tell me more about how you are a Friedman-loving hater of private property rights. This should be good.

    Also, your avatar indicates you aren't all that close to Friedman. Friedman wouldn't be a fan of "Tariff Man."

    Trump was THE most protectionist Republican running. Hell, he was probably THE most protectionist candidate running. He's probably the most protectionist candidate in modern history, apart from maybe Buchanan. Remind me how much Friedman loved protectionism.

    Sounds a bit crazy...

    I didn't say that.

    So it's good to ban white nationalists and white supremacists then.

    You seem obsessed with Nazis and Hitler.

    I didn't mention either one.

    It's sad as an American to see this type of censorship on such a widely used platform. I say let all the crazies do their thing and let the sane people expose them.

    Unless you are willing to publish anything I send your way, unless you are willing to personally publicize anything I ask you to, you are just as guilty of "censorship" as they are.

    So you feel NFL players should be free to express themselves as well, correct?

    Because I seem to recall Trump and his minions having quite the cow.

    lol... I am 100% for NFL players ability to express themselves ON THEIR TIME. They can do it when not on the NFL dime. You do understand the difference?

    If the NFL wants to let their players kneel, I don't care, I just won't watch.

    And these other folks can express themselves on their own time on their own platform. They can do it when not on Facebook's dime. This should be a simple concept. That's what I'm pretty sure BobbyJoe was getting at.

    I'm not going to quote you, in fact I can't quote any specific person, but everyone on the left knows they were rooting against the bakers.

    So Infowars can express themselves on their time and their dime. No one is stopping those morons.

    None of that changes the FACT that the left wanted to impose thought control on the bakers. That the bakers won doesn't change what you guys had hoped for.
