Quote from BSAM:

I believe freedom of speech should be available for any citizen.
But then, I'm not a Democrat, so...

Not quite so simple in business, one has to take customer reaction into account. But then, I'm not a Republican, so...

Okay.
So, you do believe in freedom of speech.
You are just saying that in your opinion, it's not good for business if a person expresses themselves about certain subjects.
Is this correct?

I believe in the First Amendment. So, as long as government, and that includes the munis making threats, stay out of this it's all ok, including the boycott.

It is my opinion that business people can say things that hurt (or help) their sales, yes, but of course that is not merely opinion, is it?

Well, it's my opinion because I believe the Constitution allows for freedom of speech.
Democrats don't believe in free speech.
Ever'body's got their own opinions, ya know.

So then you would agree that mayor Rahm, the idiot who started all this non-sense, should resign from office immediately.

Actually, the fucktard at CFA started all this. But as long as the mayor doesn't actually discriminate against homophobes, no, he can keep his job.

....where does it all end in this divided country?
Who secedes first: Arizona, Texas, another state?

I don't know but I wish a state would hurry and take the plunge before its too late. Others will follow once someone takes the first step.

True dat.

I'd really like to be a fly on the wall in some of these governors' offices around the country.
