“Freedom of speech” *ONLY* refers to laws that Congress makes. Please, you’re making yourself look silly.

You do not have, nor should you have, nor will anyone have the freedom to make statements without suffering possible consequences; any functioning adult should know this. You can scream your support for Antifa, gay marriage, death to gays, death to America or your dislike of non whites and Congress cannot make a law prohibiting your from so doing. That is *all* that ‘freedom of speech means; it has exactly nothing to do with what the company that employs you can do. It never has. It never will.

Let me worry about that. I think I look just fine. I think I look like an American who values our culture, values and traditions. And as a free people we can extend the first amendment to mean anything we want. If we want to extend it to the workplace we can. We have created many protected classes in the workplace. We can literally make exercising your first amendment rights a protected class.

You do not have, nor should you have, nor will anyone have the freedom to make statements without suffering possible consequences;

Serious question. What do you think the consequences should be for exercising your first amendment rights as an American?
