I don't disagree. That's why there's that caveat for "activities that have no impact . . . on the business of the employer." I mean, if Herb down in shipping and receiving is a retrograde bigot that donates to hate groups, it has no effect on his ability to perform his job or on the business of the employer. Not necessarily so for the CEO.

So in his past history with the firm, there is no indication/reports/complaints about him... yet because he does not adhere to the proper group think, they oust him. How fascist.
Of course you wouldn't disagree with a Fascist lefty, you're just as stupid.
I'm amused that defending marriage has now been degraded to a bigoted hate group. You Fascist lefties just can't help,but erupt with reougnant stupidity like this.
If you want to see what a bigotted hate monger Fascist looks like, get a mirror.
I see we've moved on to "fascist" as the new buzzword. LOL. So I guess you've decided to proudly demonstrate your ignorance of two political philosophies. Also, too, Newt Gingrich wants his crib notes back.
From where does this "right" come? Did Alabama have a right to know who was a member of the NAACP?

Oh I see, so you intend to demonstrate again your 'knowledge' of Libertarians?

And yes, we did notice that you have no comment on the fact that he has worked there since it began without any complaints of prejudice or mistreatment by gay employees?
Yet somehow 'morale' was going to be 'bad'?
I have no comment on that. I don't care. With respect to Eich, the company is free to make whatever decisions it deems in its best interests. But tell me again how a private company exercising its right to association is anti-libertarian and fascist. LOL.
Anyone who thinks that groups or individuals should be targeted for termination of their jobs, have their property destroyed and be hounded by extremists outside of their homes because of their political views and speech is Fascist.
it's only a buzzword if you're too painfully stupid to comprehend its meaning and act like one.
Again; this is the perfect case of free speech that is denied when the names of donors are given out to the public and misused by a small group of Fascist extremists in an attempt to deny others rights for what they believe in.
I see the new buzzword for the defense of marraige is now hate speech. You Fascist dunces on the left just can't help yourselves can you? But someone like Hitler would be proud of your tactics right out of the Fascist play book.

So you think companies should have the right to fire anyone for their beliefs that are displayed outside of work, that have no impact on their work?
You think Libertarians believe in discrimination? LMAO... yeah, you need to stop listening to the fake libertarian String.
I am amused that you think the company had "free" choice with all the negative publicity over an issue years old and basically the personal donation of one of its employees and founders of a mere $1,000.
It is also amusing that you think the group that targeted this exec was not acting in a Fascist way based on differences in political ideology. It's almost as stupid as claiming defending traditional marraige is a form of hate speech. But this is what Fascists do when they don't get the outcomes they wanted through Democratic processes.
Prop 8 was voted into law by the people and has never been properly carried out because a band of Fascist Democrats in Sacramento didn't like the result. The rule of law has no meaning and we are devolving into a third world autocracy where
Leftist Fascists thought police determine what is "acceptable" speech and what is not.
Would you be okay if a Conservative company ousted a Liberal employee for personal donations to the anti-prop 8 effort?

It is funny to watch low information posters here continue to misuse words as epithets. "Fascism" being one that pops up from time to time. "Commie" and "Marxist" do as well.
The folks who use those terms today primarily use them as nothing more than socially acceptable forms of insults.
Fascism is a pretty darned complex word to wrap one's brain around. It doesn't fit neatly onto the left-right political scale of American politics in any way. But it CERTAINLY is less appropriate when used to insult the left than when it is used to insult the right. Fascism is, above all nationalist. It is corporatist... it is completely against political and cultural liberalization and the "decadence" it feels is produced by such liberalization. It espouses pretty conservative economic policies.... those descriptions do not fit well with today's American liberals, that's for sure.
Here is a very comprehensive article from Encyclopedia Britannica on the subject:

No, I don't. Libertarians do, though. I'm not a libertarian.
It's not a matter of believing in discrimination and it has nothing to with what I "think." It's all the libertarian belief in unrestrianed freedom of association, which includes the right to discriminate. This is why libertarians get into trouble when voicing their true beliefs on things such as the Civil Rights Act and such. It's not that they are pro-discrimination, but they believe that private parties have the right to associate with whomever they wish to associate and should be free from government interference in deciding with whom to associate (such as the government requiring businesses to serve black folk).
I know you're an ashamed Republicans and not a libertarian but you could at least understand the central tenets of your professed political philosophy.
And I'm still LOLing at the invocation of "fascism."
It is even more comedic watching brain dead hyper partisan lefttards like you who use epithets like KKK, bigot, racist and Teabaggers to describe those you disagree with whine about being properly described as Fascists.
I am equally amused when dunces believe that there is a difference between the tactics of Fascists and Communists or distinguish them as "left" and "right."

Yes, you are indeed a low information poster...
Robert Paxton argues that fascism is "a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion."[SUP][31]

Yes, they do. It's really funny that you think otherwise. Let me ask you this, do you think libertarians believe the government should prohibit employers from firing employees for their beliefs that are displayed outside of work and that have no impact on their work?
Now there's a substantive rebuttal.
Also, too, just for giggles, name a libertarian. Any libertarian. Just throw a name out.
