“We as conservatives cannot allow ourselves to make the same mistakes the liberals have in extending constitutional rights into areas they were never envisioned to cover. “

Which right?

The constitutional right to free speech only prevents legal repercussions against a person from the government, not to repercussions from private individuals or employees. You can try to wear an "I hate Obama t-shirt" to work. The Government cannot put you in jail for doing it. But if your boss doesn't like it he has every right to fire you. And if company policy prohibits political activity while on the job he may even have the explicit duty to fire you.
