Its good to know that racism still exists in this world. A southern judge won't marry a interracial couple because of his stupid view of what it would do to the kids. But he says I have black people at my house and they use my toilet...oh great! Bull shit! Whether your black white or red keep your small minded opinions to yourself. I get tired of hearing these stupid comments from these bigots as if they make logical sense.
Marry who you want regardless of color and if any bigot comes to you with idiot comments like this, just know that they are insecure and this is not a valid point. It only makes sense to other bigots and racists(limbaugh listeners).

I would like to get back to this topic since I think that a lot of meat could be chewed from this issue.
To my way of thinking this case points out one camp call it individual rights and the other camp group rights. As a conservative I believe in personal rights not group rights but we seem to now be living in a society filled with collectivism. I should have every right to hire whom I want, to rent to whom I want, and to hang out with whom I want but under the current paradigm I am to be punished for acting on what I consider just, to me. The couple in question could always go somewhere else to be married though from reading of the female involved in this issue getting a degree in minority studies, whatever that means; I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy refusing them his services wasn’t being targeted much like say Rosa Parks who targeted the bus line and worked for the NAACP.
Well, I would usually agree with you except for some points of contention;
For one he is a public official. Two, he is paid by tax dollars.
As far as I know there is no Jim Crow law in effect down there that prevents this couple from getting married. Now your leap in logic about him being targeted was interesting,because you offer no other evidence other than her soon to be degree in minorities studies. I would entertain that idea. But even if he was being targeted then he should have followed the law and married them and not discriminated against them. It's his own fault! No one cares about his narrow minded views,his job is to shut up and marry idiots who want to get married so they can lose half their shit later in court. Or he should have quit and gotten a job in the private sector. Your opinion works great if it is a private business. But imagine a cop or firefighter or doctor not helping or saving someone because they are white...is that fair? Or can they hold public positions and still enforce their personal beliefs that discriminate against the public at large? That's bull if you agree with that last question.I think if it's a private business in a perfect world you do as you please. But he is a public official and a stupid bigot being paid by the taxpayers.There are plenty of places a bigot of his caliber can hang out at.I work in the private sector for a reason...because there are at least three groups of people I would love to discriminate against...So I do not want to hold a public position because I respect the public trust and he should have too. Stupid F**KING bigot!
Yes you have a point about him being a public official which leaves him open to a world of hurt. Being of the libertarian mind set it just rubs me the wrong way though your point is strong and impossible to argue against since it would require a law giving him the authority to do what he did. He has a couple of choices fight a lost cause, marry such couples in the future or quit.
We are not going to disagree on this issue since there is no real wiggle room. This issue has been hashed out since 1964 and argued for years before Civil Rights Legislation was passed.
I think that the guy in question is lower down on the food chain than say a firefighter that wouldn’t put out a fire that was consuming the house of a mixed raced couple though I know that the principle is the same.
Talking about private businesses discriminating is something that is difficult to do in the PC climate that we live in. The broad point to me is that as the US becomes more diverse we loose individual freedoms to group freedoms except for whites that have no organizations fighting for their rights.
