Our pleasure! Here’s what she’s up to today:

Hey right wing business owners, government isn't *forcing* you to do anything!

My latest, for @TPM — http://t.co/uiWb9pvvsZ

— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) April 6, 2015

It starts off with a bang:

You may have heard that the government is forcing businesses not to discriminate. It isn’t. If you chose to run a business, you have to follow the laws. If you don’t, that’s a choice—and you choose to suffer the consequences.

But her conclusion is the best part:

In the United States, private businesses get all kinds of government support—a functional monetary system, police that safeguard private property, roads that help deliver customers and goods, public schools that educate workers, telecommunications infrastructure, legal protections against copyright and patent infringement, tax benefits for business expenses and employee health care, legal shields for owners and more. No one is forcing businesses to take advantage of all those benefits, nor forcing you to start a business to begin with nor forcing you to do so in a state with non-discrimination laws or in the United States to begin with.

Don’t like following the laws that apply to businesses—including serving all customers equally? Then don’t start a business. That’s your choice.

Oof.

By @sallykohn’s rationale, anti-sodomy laws are fine because you don’t have to have sex, and laws criminalizing homosexuality are fine too.

.@charlescwcooke no, i’m saying that democratically passed laws that ban discrimination are NOT equivalent to government force

Lay down, Sally. Before you hurt yourself.

I suppose if I didn’t know what a law was, I’d be in favor of more of them too.

I think some people honestly believe laws are Nice Resolutions, or maybe Tools To Be Used or Ignored in the Dispensation of Social Justice.

To be fair, it’s easy to lose track of your convictions when you keep changing them.

@sallykohn Or, really, "laws that I approve of are not equivalent to government force."

.@sallykohn @charlescwcooke Then what ensures that people obey those laws if not force?

— NeoN: Automataster (@neontaster) April 6, 2015

@sallykohn @charlescwcooke Uh, what? Laws are optional?

— Mathieu (@TheAmazingBriz) April 6, 2015

Hi, @SallyKohn, if laws aren't force, why do you oppose laws against abortion?

Does @sallykohn think a cigarette tax is government force? Because I'm pretty sure a guy got strangled over that.

We doubt it, too.

Poor dear. What are we going to to with her?

@sallykohn Oh Sally. You're looking even more ridiculous than usual. And that's not easy. @charlescwcooke

I highly recommend a @sallykohn as a pet for kids. Better than bunnies. @charlescwcooke
