Rand Paul and Barry Goldwater were correct about the Civil Rights Act. It should have been narrowly limited to prohibiting government-sanctioned discrimination. Depriving a private entity of the liberty to conduct business as it sees fit was a massive overreach. We now have an alphabet soup collection of agencies imposing burdensome regulations on the once free market, among the worst being the EEOC. And how many neighborhoods have been ruined by the so-called "Fair" Housing Act (Title VIII)?

“Rand Paul and Barry Goldwater were correct about the Civil Rights Act.”

In the past I would not have agreed with that, but at this juncture, in our politically correct era, I do.

Funny you should mention pro-gay Barry Goldwater. He always did seem more a libertarian than a Reagan republican.

I’m glad Chick-fil-A believes in being pro-family.
