Freedom of speech is only for liberals. Please conservatives:
shut
up
and only let the liberals speak. How many of us are going to be fired and sued before we learn this? And you students: as you already know, don’t say conservative-sounding things in class or on essays or you will be downgraded. And today’s lesson is that this principle carries on through life—as you can see here!…
CHICAGO, June 24, 2005 (http://www.LifeSiteNews.com) — An employee of the Allstate insurance company has been fired from his job for comments that appeared in a men’s journal denouncing same-sex “marriage,” even though the statement was penned in the employee’s own spare time and from home.
“I explained to Allstate that the article was a reflection of my personal Christian beliefs, and that I had every right to both write it and to have it published,” J. Matt Barber told WorldNetDaily news. “I further explained that I had written the article while at home on my own time, that I never mentioned Allstate’s name and that I neither directly nor indirectly suggested that Allstate shared my Christian beliefs or my views on same-sex marriage.”
Allstate made no attempt to hide its bigotry. According to its report, “The claimant was discharged from Allstate Insurance Company because an outside organization had complained about an article he had written while on his own time.” The company even tried to have Barber denied unemployment insurance, which can be withheld if a person was fired for a violation of company policy or rules.
Barber’s commentary on same-sex “marriage” appeared in the on line journal MensNewsDaily.com. A homosexual activist group had complained to Allstate after reading the article and noticing that Barber’s bio mentioned that he was an employee there. Barber said the magazine added the bio information without his knowledge.
