Daniel sends us this link to the Boston Herald<\/a>‘s article about a veteran of Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan who was discriminated against by a landlady who is a peace-activist based on his military service;<\/p>\n

Sgt. Joel Morgan, 29, said the two-bedroom $1,220-a-month Savin Hill apartment that property owner Janice Roberts, 63, showed him in April was perfect. But he claims Roberts told him in an April 9 voicemail that renting to him would be a conflict, saying, \u201cWe are very adamant about our beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just is not going to be comfortable for us without a doubt. It probably would be better for you to look for a place that is a little bit less politically active and controversial,\u201d Roberts told Morgan, according to his complaint.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I’m sure SGT Morgan wouldn’t be comfortable living next to Roberts, but that’s not the point is it? Roberts is a member of some idiot organization called “Garden of Enlightenment”, I can’t find it on the internet so I can’t comment on it’s goals, not knowing anything about it. But, suppose, just suppose that SGT Morgan was a member of some racial minority group and Ms. Roberts was a member of some racist group and made a relatively similar remark, but in regards to her beliefs and SGT Morgan’s particular racial group. The feds would be all over Roberts for discrimination. So what’s the difference here?<\/p>\n

Morgan is taking her to court, but I don’t think that will solve the problem – Ms. Roberts bias which she probably wouldn’t tolerate in another instance, but applies to her own business – and she has no problem putting it into words with the intended victim of her bias.<\/p>\n

Of course, being a conservative, I think Roberts has the right to rent to whomever she wants and to deny her apartment to whomever she wants, but the hypocrisy, in this case, is just too blatant to ignore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
