You firing one employee is not blacklisting.Hyperbolic bullshit.I thought blacklists went out with the McCarthy era. I recall that liberals were outraged that Hollywood blacklisted writers and actors just because they had some vague connection to Communists.You can say whatever you want. Just don't whine that your free speech is being repressed if no one wants to hire your bigoted ass.That's stunningly wrong.big deal. When did we lose our first amendment right to free speech?
A common mistake.
The First Amendment doesn't guarantee your right to say whatever you want, whenever you want, and wherever you want. It also doesn't prevent your boss from firing you or asking for your resignation over stupid comments. It just means you can't be arrested or sued successfully.
You have the right to say whatever you want, whenever you, whereever you want, subject to some very narrow exceptions.
If people are punished for their speech then effectively there is no free speech. It's like saying you can say what you want as long as being deported to the gulag is OK with you.
So go ahead. Say whatever you wish.
Liberals are the new fascists.
My employees represent my company. I will lose customers if I have a bigoted asshole working for me, so I would fire him.
That's not blacklisting.
A person whom no one will hire because he expresses an unpopular view is blacklisting.
A person whom no one will hire because he cannot do his job appropriately is not blacklisting.
See the difference?
