Okay. Here is my take. If a comedy club doesn't want you to perform. I am good with it.

If a beer company wants to put a pervert on the side of it's beer can, I am good with it.

If a newspaper wants to spout racist communist bull crap. I am good with it.

If a cookie company wants to shrink its cookies to prevent raising its prices. I am good with it.

Private companies can hire who they want, price their goods like they want. Espouse what they want. Fine. All good. It is called FREEDOM.

Now, conversely, I can decide not to buy, patronize or swallow any of this. This, too, is called FREEDOM.

BUT, if a government tells me I have to buy something, or NOT buy something, or PAY something that I don't want to pay. If they tell me that I have to BELIEVE something that I do not believe. THEN, I am NOT good with it. That is the essence of freedom.

But the problem is our culture is in decline because of leftist policies and propaganda put in place using our tax dollars. This is not due to the free market this is done via government. There is no more free market it’s an illusion.
