ACLU attorney: Blocking Chick-fil-A over gay marriage 'viewpoint discrimination'

213. Does life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness mean nothing to you?

How can you say you have liberty if your business hinges on whether or not you have an unpopular idea?...there is nothing more fundamental to liberty than that...and if you allow government to punish people for their speech by restricting their business then the first amendment becomes a joke...free speech if you don't speak wrong is not free speech.
And ANY kind of punishment for free speech is wrong...you don't get to say that it is OK because no criminal charges were filed...and besides you say that his speech and giving to organizations you think are bad then why don't you file a legal complaint about it...make a discrimination complaint....well you can't because he did not DO anything..the laws is designed to protect people from what you do not what you say or who you associate yourself with.

Cities DO NOT have the right to zone out unpopular speech...that is unconstitutional and would be quickly rejected by any court...but what you want to do is an end run around that by getting them to reject it on some phony reason or to just say they don't have to tell you the reason...and that flies in the face of honest government and establishes it's own authority in disregard of the law of the land...and that is a dangerous slide to dictatorship...so you can see how people will reject this and think that the Liberals if they are so foolish to support this are what the right says they are...authoritarians bent on destroying the constitution.

And that is what this is about...making the left look as much like what the right says they are before the election. and this is probably just the beginning of that and worked very well for the right wing agenda.
