Allstate fires manager for Christian beliefs concerning homosexuality

How on earth can you equivocate a Christian disapproving of homosexuality on his own time with a muslim advocating the destruction of the United States and Israel.

Simple. Either all employees can say what they want on their free time, and their employer can do nothing about it, or your employer has the right to fire you for saying things he doesn't like.

Any middle position just means that certain opinions, based on political correctness, get protected while other, less politically correct opinions, do not.

I have all my vehicles and home on their plus our family summer place which being on a mountaintop has beacoup premiums.

We're going to Farm Bureau.

I just bought a Dually today....they will only have that long enough for us to move.

Damn shame...the local agent is very nice.

(I am now officially a redneck)

[wardaddy]

the world is not either/or

it's about forming opinions and values

not just Objective parameters

[MHT]

Another case that points out who has "rights" and the right to rub it in your face and who has no rights--except the right to remain silent (and pity them if they don't stay silent!). If Christianity must be kept in the closet, why can't homosexuality be put back in their closets?

What? No "Don-Wildmon-is-a-nutjob-extremist-religious-right-fringer" posts yet?

[k2blader]

Or any "AFA/WND-are-untrustworthy-sources" claims?

Shocking, I tell ya.

What "is" a Dually?

I am not a redneck yet...lol.

[wardaddy]

A Bonnie Blue Tag will adorn the front naturally

OMGoodness... it's a truck! LOL!

I just found an old license plate holder I used to have on my VW Cabriolet: (I was such a smart ass).

It reads on the top "AS A MATTER OF FACT"

and on the bottomm, "I DO OWN THE ROAD"

LOL

[wardaddy]

Did you have the flowers holder on the dash?

[wardaddy]

FOTFLOL! No,no flowers, but I think I get your meaning...lol.

OMG -- that is terribly PC. It's puke worthy.

[RightWinger]

I wish I had Allstate so I could cancel it.
I'm checking around now for better rates but I won't be calling Allstate.

"at will" does not authorize discrimination

Only a liberal could equate advocating murder to expressing a NON-VIOLENT opinion. You sure you are on the right board?

Government is horrible at anything and everything subjective, and so is the law. The law works best with the quantifiable. I fear governments the most when they're forming opinions and values and enforcing them with the power that only government can wield.

I lft Allstate many yars ago over the way they treated my brother over a lousy $900.

Someone who knew him who was homosexual. If he's an agent, many people will know him. If he's not an agent, he can still be know -- even if only by homosexuals within his company.
