But if that policy discriminated (that is what the social media policy does is discriminates against opinions that are not in line with the employers) against someone because of their sexual orientation, their religion, maybe because they got pregnant, whether or not they participate in political events and rallies, or even just their race... EVERYONE would be up in arms, DEMANDING that employer be strung up because most of these are PROTECTED classes and concepts. But natural law concepts, the ones that are GOD given, are NOT afforded the same protections because YOU demand to be able to impose YOUR opinions and thoughts upon others.

That is what this comes down to. You think other people should only express opinions that are in line with YOUR opinions, even on their own time. Anything less, well the let's fire and roast the racist cracker white b! tch.


Employers should be able to have expectations of their employees WHILE at work and WHILE representing the company. But they clearly should not be able to violate, impose upon or deny an employees natural rights, no less than they should be able to violate, impose upon or deny an employees "protected class" rights.


I think I made myself perfectly clear, and I honestly believe you are intentionally being obtuse. But in order to assist you, knowing that you are obviously a slow reader, I typed this real s l o w so even you should be able to understand.
Talk about being obtuse. I guess you will never understand, and probably best to not try.

Oh yes indeed. I heard one talk show that was so far right that the host wouldn't even entertain questions or debate about the issue. Actually hung up on callers and then told the audience the caller was wrong.
I heard about 10 minutes of it and then continued looking for some music. That was just so wrong.

The propaganda and brainwashing done by these extreme people with access to the public is far and wide and is happening on both sides of the political spectrum.

Damn right, with people like Norman Goldman and Ed Schultz on the radio, there is nothing but hatred there.

I know statism when I see it. I know fascism when I see it.


Natural law vs man-made law. Natural rights vs man-made rights. One concept is universal in that it is GOD given, and cannot be taken away. Yet YOU want to be able to take it away.


You don't even recognize the possibly that you could have been inculcated, do you?

God given? I would take issue with that part since there is no god.

To be honest, you sound like a racist who is pissed that one his brethren got the ax because of her 'views'.

None. She is perfectly entitled to be an idiot on Facebook. She is not entitled, however, to hold a position serving the public if she can't at the very least contain her ill-will against a large part of that same public.

You have every right to go to the media and claim that your boss is an idiot with the intellect of a deranged dachshund. He has every right to not sign a paycheck for you the day after.

she seems like an idiot, but I don't know if you can specifically screen someone for racism. most people would have sense enough to lie about their beliefs if asked directly.
