What other "intrusive things like this" are liberals pushing for then? You can't suggest that there are a whole other list of (un-named) regulations you oppose and then get made at me when I make a reasonable guess as to what these are.
You're missing the point. I never said that liberals should "just stop trying to regulate anything," but I think we can all agree that there are some things you really don't need a law for. Even the NAACP and Hispanic Federation opposed the ban on the grounds that it will hurt small, minority-owned businesses. Aren't progressives suppose to be supporting those businesses, last time I checked?
I guess I'm just surprised to see liberals taking the "we need to regulate society" type of position that conservatives normally do.
