Jonas: Kill the Human Rights Commissions Before They Kill Our Freedom

An absolutely excellent column by George Jonas. 

Every paragraph is delicious, so read the whole thing.

The whole thing is amazing, but this little bit about the Lesbian Who Walked into A Muslim Barber Shop issue:

"For barbers who refuse, invoking religion is, to put it mildly, overkill. “Sorry, I don’t do ladies’ hair” is all that need be said by anyone who finds it more congenial or lucrative to shave male customers."

It would be damned well horrifying to have to shave female customers!!!

Furthermore:

"Human Rights Commissions exist for the purpose of limiting otherwise lawful conduct in the name of some higher interest or ideal. Their beat is the ostensibly free zone where people choose their employees, customers, associates and corporate culture; where they decide what to think or say."
