So anyone who is acting nefariously can circumvent with bit of work, and the rest of us are subject to another vector of mass surveillance.

I agree that people with the wrong political opinions should not be allowed to work, and that it's up to corporations to be the ultimate arbitrator of what is acceptable political discourse.

If you read your own link, you will learn that free speech and the first amendment are not the same thing.

Sorry, that doesn't fly. Working with people who have different political views is part of being a professional. It's a team sport after all. Something tells me that you aren't also going to defend the firing of anyone with o

Immigration is a perfect example of how the left has traded working class issues for identity politics. FFS, this story itself is a perfect example. Here we have a corporation firing an employee for 'wrong' speech - and the left i

>And what do you do if your preferred media posts what may be construed as a [opposing viewpoint] headline? Just unsubscribe immediately? No, because I'm not fragile like liberals are.

I trust the government even less. Charlie Gard is a good example - the UK government has not only decided that he should die, but that his parents are barred from bringing him to another country for treatment. On top that, the UK is saying

I would gladly subscribe to an NPR-caliber newspaper that doesn't have pushing liberal narratives as a #1 priority. Just like Fox is #1 because it's the only not-liberal media outlet, a real not-liberal newspaper would have a huge

Why single out News Corp (Fox News) when the NYT, WaPo, and the WSJ are also involved in this?

No one in the US has contributed more the rise of ISIS than Democrats. The current situation in northern Iraq is exactly what was predicted would happen if the US withdrew before the Iraqi government was stable enough. In response, Democrat

So when someone from HL inevitably is jailed over this, will you admit that you and your outlook are wrong?

And in Democrat eyes, they were already hated villains and they are cheering for the company to hit hard.

Being hired to do a job and being funded are two very different things.

So then you support removing all government funding from the college, yes?

Which doesn't change the reality of what I've said. I even linked to an left-wing incident that happened over the weekend, with an order of magnitude more people. http://college.usatoday.com/2017/05/30&#x

Maybe in the past, the left has grown increasingly authoritarian on social issues over the last few years. Just yesterday a mob of left-wing students tried to assault a professor over a social issue. http://college.usatoday.com&

Thanks for posting, as this one event by the far, far right with a couple dozen people stands in sharp contrast to dozens and dozens of examples involving as many as hundreds of people from the left, and really shows how unequatable they ar
