The Civil
Rights Act of 1968 does not include gays or transgender as protected
classes. The Supreme Court opinion
allowing gay marriage did not result in an updated Civil Rights Act, so States
are now in the process of trying to determine the rights of gays vs. the rights
of Christian pastors, who do not want to be subject to lawsuits by gays for not
performing weddings or wedding industry businesses for not working with gays on
their weddings.
Discrimination
laws dealing with lending for home mortgages caused the 2008 Meltdown. These
were the Community Reinvestment Act of 1993 that has not been repealed and HUD
discrimination rules that have not been rescinded.
US
citizens are less passive about being bullied by laws that restrict their own
freedoms when their freedom of association is attacked. Discrimination lawsuits and fines are
unacceptable to those who want the freedom to refuse to comply with politically
contrived unjust laws. One look at Canada and the UK will give us an idea of
how far discrimination laws can go to impinge on rights for the rest of
us. US citizens are vehemently opposed
to Muslim immigration because of the problems they continue to cause in
Europe.
The
coming Presidential election will reflect the push-back US voters will inflict
on politicians who pass laws that allow the erosion of our freedoms for reasons
we believe are unconstitutional and illegitimate.
I would
support the repeal of the Civil Rights Act if that’s what it takes to remove
the threat of lawsuits from citizens for exercising their free right of
association and freedom of religion. I
would retain a law that protects against racial discrimination in facilities,
stores, restaurants and housing, but would not let it affect zoning. I would exclude Islam from being considered a
“religion” under US Law. Islam is a
predatory political system that is incompatible with and subversive to the US
Constitution.
