5 Most Un-libertarian Positions of Gary Johnson

#1. Nazi Cakes 

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson was famously outed as an authoritarian on an issue that crosses race, sex, and religious boundaries. In a debate held by John Stossel on the Fox Business Network, Johnson issued his support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which mandated that private business which serve the public not discriminate based on race. In the modern age, liberal activists are working on expanding these protections to LGBT couples who wish to force Christian bakers or photographers to provide services to their ceremonies, even if they disagree with their lifestyles.

Runner up for the LP nomination Austin Petersen tripped up Johnson with a logical puzzle, asking if a Jew should be forced to bake a cake for a Nazi wedding. Johnson responded affirmatively, taking a position that is arguably more authoritarian than the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on the matter. Nazis, not being a protected class, are not immune to discrimination. Only those listed as protected classes technically cannot be discriminated against. Whether you believe in forced association for private businesses or not, Johnson’s position is both fundamentally wrong from a legal standpoint, as well as a moral one.
