Oh my goodness, loss of liberty is a death from a thousand cuts. Do you think the PATRIOT act will ever be fully expired or repealed? No way. Do you think the NSA will ever be barred from collecting data on US citizens? Hell no. Those are liberties we've lost forever, and not just us, but our children and our children's children, in the last 20 years, because of complacency. Think of all the rights because of the drug war that will never end. We will lose plenty of others. It's a constant assault.
Can you even think of one government protected right we've gained in the last 20 years? Don't say pot, because we lost that right in the 1900s. As a citizen it is your duty to be diligent to protect your freedoms, for your self and future generations. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and we're well down it.

Stick to the topic at hand! Companies cannot be forced to offer domain name registration services to Nazis if they do not want to. Forcing them to is a greater violation of liberty than allowing them the choice not to associate with Nazis.
