Any personal political philosophy that defends the right of businesses to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, or race is immoral if not completely wrong. And it's one of the reasons she isn't taken seriously over here at all.
I have responded thus:
The nick you have chosen for yourself is totally appropriate.
The fact of reality is that the holding of a job without the consent of the employer is not a right, it is a privilege, an act of legislation enacted for private benefit. In this case the privilege was enacted for the purpose of buying the votes of an distinct volitional collective and done so at the expense of those who create jobs. With the further absurd effect of making slaves of the employers.
The fact of the matter here is that it is you who is calling for the deliberate initiation of violence against innocent people who are exercising their own rational judgment while peacefully minding their own business.
The two basic modes of human interaction are consent and force. The contract versus the whip.
Instead of allowing us to deal with each other on the basis of consent, you have appointed yourself a superior being and are now calling for the punishment of those who rightfully refuse to submit to your whims.
The fact of reality is that the philosophy of Objectivism and those like myself who follow it are not evil. You are.
I didn't choose to treat other people like sub-human animals, you did.
You can choose to renounce that choice and rejoin Humanity, or you can continue to strut about like a superior being, secure in the knowledge that your victims will not lift a finger to terminate your utterly useless existence, even though you deserve it.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?
