The focus should be on property rights. In my opinion, if I own a parking lot, I should be able to determine what things are allowed on that lot and which things are prohibited.

So, if you work for me and park in my lot, I can ban your car from displaying a John Kerry bumpersticker?

Of course not, the First Amendment trumps my property rights.

Just as the Second Amendment trumps Whirlpool's property rights here.

Exactly. There must be some real commie gun-grabber types running policy at Whirlpool. Time for a consumer boycott of Whirlpool applicances to wake them up . . .

I don't know if you can, but you SHOULD be able to do so, yes. I don't have the right to drive my car onto your property.

Of course not, the First Amendment trumps my property rights.

So if I want to peacefully distribute KKK literature in someone's business or front yard, I should be able to do so?
