The principles / values that I referred to, and which propelled this nation forward did not include slavery, a lack of women's suffrage, etc... Those were accepted norms at the time that rightfully fell by the wayside over time. The Founding principles and values I referred to are those that affirm human rights, and these same values / principles enshrined in both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights ultimately cleared a path to emancipation and suffrage.
I do agree that, like concealed carry, what happens in the room formerly known as the Ladies Room is likely to largely remain unknown outside those doors. And it generally should be. I also agree that liberty/freedom is a value to be cherished and celebrated. That is where I really have the biggest issues with these SJWs. They are doing everything in their power to eliminate the freedom of others who think/believe differently, creating a tyranny of whining voices, if you will.

Re: Ladies Will You CC at Target?
SIRIT, I understand your point about "it being a non-event" and getting folks worked up on one side or another of an issue as a political tactic -- to a point. I am certainly not going to bash you for your views, though.
I do think this is an event that requires action -- or inaction as it may be in the case of a boycott -- of some of us. This policy is tacit surrender to the LGBT Social Justice Warriors (SJW), who just happen to be loud enough and committed enough to ensure their voices are heard above all others. Raising our voices a bit and challenging the changes they would make is the least we can do. Less than 5% of the population stridently declaring that they are "normal" doesn't make it so, and requiring everyone else in society to change their actions and thinking flies in the face of the liberal argument of "for the greater good".
Enacting this policy is also another instance of denying/marginalizing the traditional, society-affirming values that formed this country and ultimately propelled its citizenry to the highest standard of living in the world. Systematically destroying morals and values is no way to improve society, and allowing it to occur without acting makes one complicit in the destruction. I choose not to help the destroyers along their path.
