To: Personal Responsibility

One thing is sure. This guy is a White guy. Otherwise he would be whistling a happy tune.

There is no “free speech” in the USA. You can lose your job over words that you say.

Free speech is between you and the government. It is not - or at least it should not be - between you and your employer.

That is not what is messed up in this country. Free speech means the government is not supposed to punish you or infringe on your right to speech. It never meant that your speech should have no consequences. It was always the case that you could get fired if your speech crossed the lines drawn by your employer.

What we have now is categories of protected speech and banned speech. If you curse whitey or rail against homophobia you cannot be fired. But if you pray at work or oppose liberal policies you can be fired at will. Now just using the wrong word can get you fired or end your career. No one wants to bother looking into the ideas or information contained in those words for actual harm to people. They just want to short cut the process by banning words.

One of those “stupid” white guys on every TV commercial. Those commercials they have in between the NFL fawning and drooling over Imam Obama.

Watching TV just supports the regime.
