free speech? Believe as we say or we will destroy you.

GoDaddy has also begun dropping web hosting services for websites that support "hate speech"

For all we know, he may have been fired because he didn’t show up to work on Saturday. Or maybe he called out sick and his employer just learned that he was actually attending a demonstration miles away.

Unless there's something in the contract at his work I'd be contacting an attorney.

If we're going to start firing people for what they do after work then we've gone down a whole new dangerous road.

Figures a white nationalist was fired from his job. When was the last time a Black Panther, an anti American Muslim or a commie lost his job. Apparently first amendment rights for whites might be somewhat restricted.

So if he were to eliminate those who caused his poverty, would it not be akin to catching someone robbing your house.

This is coming to a head.

I’m totally done with this crap.

If anyone expresses their virtue to me and says how deeply they care about the plight of African Americans in this country, I will immediately and unceasingly call them a racist and a hater. I will make it clear that I will have nothing to do with their hate speech.

If this is where he worked, unemployment looks like a promotion.

So how did he get from CA to VA? Seems a little unusual that a food service worker would have enough vacation days and spare money to make this trip. (This is, of course, all wild speculation.) Did they identify the right guy? Or do "these people" "all look alike".

Not only does he have a case against his former employer, like the guy from google does, he has a case against the daily mail.

The daily mail is a UK publication where they have much stricter defamation laws than the US.

The title of the article characterizes the guy fired as a “thug” even though the pic just shows him standing in a crowd with a light.

If there was a pic of the guy beating someone up, you could call him a thug. That’s not the case here.

He could even say the article contributed to his being fired.

If someone were to express, and it became known at work, extreme views—I don’t care if it is BLM or KKK or otherwise; if they fly the Nazi, Islamic, or Confederate flag, I’d fire them without hesitation. As a company owner myself, I see absolutely nothing illegal about this. This is not a matter of discriminating against the usual suspects (gender, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, etc.). Fly those flags, express those views, whether you act on them or not, you are fired. Period.

"...GoDaddy has also begun dropping web hosting services for websites that support "hate speech"..."

This is one of the reasons Jim Rob cites (and I believe for good reason) for using their own servers to host Free Republic instead of farming it out.

It is possible Free Republic might decrease costs and improve services by having them hosted, but they would be subject to the whims of a company that either won't stand up to being bullied by the left into dropping hosting, or is in active collusion with the left to eliminate opposing points of view.

They would certainly label Free Republic as "hate speech" simply because they disagree with much we post, and cannot refute it in the arena of logic and rhetoric. So they take the shortcut by default of trying to gag their opponents.

In the case of this particular issue, they would simply maintain that support of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly when it comes to some radical cause means that you support, and are part and parcel of that radical cause, and are therefore guilty of..."hate speech".

Free speech only stops government from doing anything. Private companies don’t have to put with bull crap from idiots. I wish some of you knew what the first amendment protected.

If I owned a business that catered to kids and one of my workers penned am op-ed to the local paper defending pedophilia, would I have to keep him employed and go broke as my customers make the wise decision to keep their kids away from the guy?

Is a “white nationalist” somebody who says “All Lives Matter” or utters “antifa are anti-American communists and anarchists”? Do you need Nazi tattoos and a bald head? Or do you have to simply believe in the miracle that was the birth of this nation? Is believing in the ultimate human achievement of Western Civilization enough to earn you the title? Or do you have to be a card carrying member of Aryan Nation?

To me, it appears to be yet another lazy, unthinking way for leftists and “journalists” to heap opprobrium on normal Americans.
