GOP Lawmaker Thinks Businesses Ought To Be Able To Deny Service To Black People

A Republican lawmaker in South Dakota thinks there's no need for the government to meddle in the private sector, even if a business were to turn away black customers.
Here's Phil Jensen, a GOP state senator and free market absolutist, in his own words.
"If someone was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and they were running a little bakery for instance, the majority of us would find it detestable that they refuse to serve blacks, and guess what? In a matter of weeks or so that business would shut down because no one is going to patronize them,"
Jensen told the Rapid City Journal in a story that suggested he just might be the crimson red state's "most conservative lawmaker."
i'm praying that America wakes up and realizes that united we stand divided the republicans win, we are at a crucial point to our future what we do in Nov. will set the stage for a better America or worse than the last decade,
it will not get better they will punish us for daring to push them out war on everything are "we the people" not already in a war with republicans, well being able to stack the deck and pull cards out of your sleeve will not allow us another fair and honest vote where what you vote for is what you get 2012 house of reps over a million votes i our favor but here we stand still subjected to a do nothing congress that cashes a checkfor being so. recognize
   In this year's legislative session, Jensen offered up a bill that was even more extreme than the legislation in Arizona that would have given businesses an opening to discriminate against LGBT customers.
Unlike the Arizona bill, Jensen's measure was explicit. It aimed to give business owners permission to deny service based on a customer's "sexual orientation" without the fear of a lawsuit.
The legislation was ultimately killed in committee, with one GOP lawmaker calling it "a mean, nasty, hateful, vindictive bill.”
But Jensen, who moved to South Dakota from Kansas in 2003 with a sign taped to his truck saying he was heading north to "Vote Senator [Tom] Daschle Out," remains steadfast in his support of the bill.
"It's a bill that protects the constitutional right to free association, the right to free speech and private property rights," he told the Journal.
they throw around freedom like dandelions blow in the wind, they need to be called out and explain what they really mean like freedom only for those in charge your boss to deny wage increase, health care, safety in the workplace,
you never hear an example of you having a share in their freedoms but they phrase it like you are, liars that have no compunction about misleading you with false information and deception iof what they really represent and it ain't the "FOLKS".
they say get gov't off our backs they mean them again not you elect them and they will be the gov't on your back. recognize Nov. 4th around the bend make sur your vote gets in.
