As to blocking — nothing in the spam filter, chief. Don’t know what happened.

What is Trey Garrison’s hidden agenda?

That said, there were other voices in the civil rights movement, and if John Salter piques Trey’s interest, WTF is wrong with that? The narrative might diverge somewhat from conventional lefty pieties about gun control, but if it brings him to the table why make such determined efforts to kick out the props from under the table?

Enough obfuscation.

1. Brown Vs. Board -Right or wrong?
2. Eisenhower’s actions vis-a-vis Brown vs. Board – Right or wrong?
3. State laws permitting segregated schools – Right or wrong?
4. Local laws permitting segregated schools -Right or wrong?
5. Private citizens running segregated private schools – Right or wrong?

DON’T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION. ANSWER ME NOW!

That’s the only legitimate function of government at any level, Daniel. Which is why government mandated discrimination and discrimination by government is wrong at every level.

(Whether school should be a government function is a separate issue. I personally don’t see how monopolies can be bad in every other consumer service, but good in education, but I’m saving that for another day.)

As for the social conservative and religious nuts taking over the Tea Party movement — yeah, that’s my biggest worry for the group.

They need to stick to taxes, spending, taxes and spending. And taxes. No more, no less. Period, full stop.

Soon as they kowtow to the creationists, homophobes, and drug warrior set, my interest goes cold.

Cannot Libertarians agree that “protecting our rights” is a legitimate function (perhaps the primary one) of the federal government? I should certainly think so. Chortle at my naivete as you will, but certainly the Supreme Court did just that during the Civil Rights era.

Of course, no doubt two out of three* Tea Partiers** would have us amend the Constitution to add restrictive clauses to the definition of marriage. They’d probably*** mandate “teaching the controversy” (you know, are we made out of cells and chromosomes or fairy dust) and abstinence-only “education” (birth control doesn’t even really work! remember that, kids, next time you’re tempted to have sex! and Hell, while we’re at it, how’s about you gals out there go to a deeply creepy event with your father, where it’s sort of like a “date” and you pledge that your heart belongs to Daddy and he gives you a chastity belt of your very own?), too.

Just throwing that out there.

First, I’ll mention that Garrison, stung by repeated charges of racism, is rightly hiding from the Brown vs. Board discussion.

Now, Doubts makes the point that the libertarian issue with Brown vs. Board is federal involvement. Thus, he implicitly asserts that libertarians see nothing wrong with a segregated school policy administered by state or local government, or by a private school. Libertarians, is this correct?
