Libertarians occupy a sect in society in which individual freedom is synonymous with business freedom.

It is interesting that the fascist nation of Germany similarly allowed "man" (but more importantly business because that's what the debate is about) to discriminate against anyone that he wanted to, which resulted in the European Jewry being banned from stores and schools. So I think your argument would be better restated as:

are we a fascist nation?

no. but we should try to be one by repealing the civil rights law in question and allowing man to discriminate against anyone he wants.

Obviously. It is not the role of the government to interfere, let alone in personal matters. Private businesses should be allowed to discriminate, just like people should be allowed to hold slaves on private property. It is not the role of the government to interfere with people's personal decisions that occur in privacy... i may personally think that slavery is wrong, but that doesnt mean that it is wrong for other people to hold slaves.

this is satire

So by this argument, if someone chooses to start a corporation whose sole purpose is to murder black people, than this is a legal enterprise as it is not the role of the government to "tell someone how to make money" -- forget the laws about murder, or about racism, lynching etc... in this case they would also be unjust, wouldn't they? because they are telling a company how they can and can't make money -- if murder is indeed wrong, than the people can boycott the business....

Morality cannot be legislated? That what CAN be legislated, and what is the point of legislation in the first place? If not for "morality" what claim do you have to be protected from being murdered on the street? What makes it wrong to steal $200 from another man? If morality should not be legislated, than this should not be a matter that the law should concern itself with -- the market will figure it out.

I am curious as to the premise your argument lies on (and most people who support this argument): what reasons support your claim that the government has no authority to regulate business, particularly private business?

"to me it seems more believable that God created everything"

how believable something seems bears absolutely no relation to what actually occurred. Many people think that 'it doesn't seem believable' that such a complex being could have evolved through the mechanisms of natural selection... as if this somehow provides a credible refutation of evolution. Truth is not determined by what SEEMS most likely to you, truth is determined by what actually happened.

[Also EVOLUTION has nothing to do with the genesis of the earth....so I can't really say that my answer is "evolution" because the would be doing a disservice to general knowledge]
