. . . but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Fox Continues to Revive Pat Buchanan After His Firing From MSNBC

People who lament they haven’t totally silenced their political enemies or utterly destroyed their livelihoods ought not to be called "liberals."

But they are.

And, please.

Skip the eyewash about the First Amendment prohibiting only government interference with free speech.

Are we supposed to be OK with employers or other non-governmental agents punishing us for voting “the wrong way” so long as the government doesn't?

Why the secret ballot, then?

And what a mockery of freedom it is when you can be crushed financially and have your career ruined for what you say by the selfish, the hateful, or the politically vengeful so long as they aren’t acting for the government!

As if no one else could squash us under foot!

Update. The war by liberal public officials on Chick-fil-A over the conservative politics of its owners is even more deplorable.

Update two. That is not to say I will ever again eat at Chick-fil-A, or that I accept employers dominating the lives of their employees the way this employer does.
