If I want to hang a sign that says "Left Handed Eskimos Only", that's my right on my property. If I require people to dance a jig to be allowed in, that's my right too.

Freedom of association is a basic unalienable right. Everything to the contrary is unconstitutional.

If you want to say no people who could be referred to by the name of that dance you should be able to do that too

Yes. And the public are free to assemble in protest and run you out of business for hanging a [NO BLACKS ALLOWED] sign. Your bank would be free to drop you as a customer. The people would spend their money at your competitor's place of business. etc.

It's nice to have rights.

Right, it would be nice to still have the right to freedom of association. If I don't want to associate with the people most likely to commit a crime against me I should have that right. If you want to go hang out with them and take your chances, you should have that right. But under no circumstance should you cop a superior attitude because you want to worship them and I want them kept far far away from me.

I guess the people are also free to blockade you inside your home and prevent you from obtaining food by getting every store you want to go to to ban you in order to kill you off. Freedom! Private property! Mob rule is good!

You're really reaching for excuses to lick boots.

It would be illegal to blockade someone inside their home. And yeah, if I don't want you in my grocery store I'll tell you to leave.
