As the Slacker generattion takes over our government, the GOP will either become or be replaced by a more libertarian party that will be more favorable to civil liberties and differ with the Dems mostly on economic policy. Not because they have a plan, just because of demographics.

I tend to agree with this. However, the degree to which the GOP becomes more libertarian on social issues is inversely related to the degree to which conservative Christians continue to wield influence within the party. At this time (and for some time to come, it seems to me) the GOP can't afford to marginalize the Christians, who have been among their most enthusiastic dupes.

They are only in favor of civil liberties for themselves. Fuck everyone else.

The fact of the matter is, if I own a business I can hire or not hire anyone I choose. It is MY business and if I don't want a homosexual, black, christian, or women working there no one can "force" me to do it. That is how it is and how it always will be.

Untrue.

Invidious discrimination in the workplace is illegal since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for businesses with >= 15 employees at a time for >= 20 months.

Part of the reason we have affirmative action is because of rotten testicles like you.
