The courts seem to still be protecting speech.

In some ways No...

You can't get fired for myriad of things these days EOE, etc etc, but you can be fired for your Politics.

Why can't any entrepreneur refuse to engage in Commerce on the grounds they don't believe in the Politics of X-Y-Z movement?

I wonder what Freeper Legal Eagles think of this defense.

If it is legit, the progressives may have opened up a can of rotten fish they never wished they would have opened...

In some cases conservatives are guilty of the same offense as liberals, but just at a much smaller level.

Boycotting a business because it sells crappy products or doesn't stand behind its products is perfectly OK.

However, boycotting a business because the owners have political positions I disagree with is a form of shunning that makes no sense. I don't have to hang out with Tim Cook the scumbag CEO of Apple, but the main reason I don't buy Apple products is that they are way more expensive than other products that do the same things just as well or better.

Here on FR we are subjected to rants by people who will no longer see a film with so-and-so in it because so-and-so is a socialist or supports Obama. The only reason I will stop seeing movies by a particular actor is because he stinks.

If we love the sinner, but hate the sin then it makes no sense to deny the sinner the means to make a living in this world.

I wish the liberals would be as tolerant as they claim and be as willing to support Christians who just want to run simple bakeries and wedding service companies, but I realize that's asking too much.
