Absolutely wrong! That is a protestor violating a store owners rights associated with property ownership! It has nothing to do with our free market system.
Now, just to be clear on the subject, Rosa Parks had the right idea when she refused to give up her seat to a white man while riding a bus run by the Montgomery City Government in spite of a local law requiring her to do so. Why was she right? She was right because the 14th Amendment specifically forbid law which made distinctions based upon race. The Montgomery City Government violated the 14th Amendment in making such a law and therefor Rosa Parks was right, unlike MLK with respect to the law and rights associated with property ownership.

What it looks like is, you can’t debate the issue in a reasonable manner and resort to disparaging innuendoes.

The poison connected with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialism is, the most productive, hardworking wage earners across the country ___ some in our nation’s inner cities who work two and three jobs to extricate themselves from poverty ___ are specifically targeted by Cortez’s taxation and robbed of the bread they have earned, which in turn discourages them to be productive, and thus begins a Nation’s decline.
The fact is, as I previously pointed out, Rosa Parks had the right idea when she refused to give up her seat to a white man while riding a bus run by the Montgomery City Government in spite of a local law requiring her to do so.
Why was she right? She was right because the 14th Amendment specifically intended to forbid law which made distinctions based upon race. The Montgomery City Government violated the 14th Amendment in making such a law and therefor Rosa Parks was right, unlike MLK with respect to the law and rights associated with property ownership.
Finally, we are discussing the law, not what I would have, or would not have done. I am not interested in your desire to make me the subject, rather than discussing the law .

The unavoidable truth is, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist plan for “free” college tuition will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.
And I’m just pointing out that had it been a private company that ran the bus line you would have been 100% fine with them having a rule that would require her to give her seat up to a white man.
Abiding by the rule and being fine with it or agreeing with it are vastly different concepts. Why are you so quick to allege the former insult and ignore the latter?

As to our Constitution being a “living document”, that life is found only in Article V, a protection demanding the people’s participation and consent when change is thought to be necessary.
