— Ace They're in favor of freedom-- the freedom to think, act, speak, believe and be precisely as they instruct you to be.
First the dating site OKCupid began a campaign -- apparently on the front page of its website -- suggesting a boycott of Mozilla (makers of the popular FireFox browser) for the crime of having agree with Barack Obama on gay marriage in 2006.
Then, of course, MSNBC began campaigning against him, calling his political donation a "black mark" in an otherwise-acceptable Stasi file.
Now, get this, Mozilla employees are tweeting that their CEO must step down.
Incredible.
Here's a fun thought experiment:
What if the CEO fired the employees demanding he resign?
Can you imagine the firestorm?
I'm inclined to actually support his doing so, to illustrate the egregious double-standard on display here. Someone with a dissenting right-wing view? Purge 'em, with a million cheerlearders.
But someone with fired over a leftwing view? Why, the heavens would shake from the gnashing of teeth.
It would be a curious thing to watch the fired employee explain the following:
1. That I shouldn't have been fired for expressing my honestly-held political belief.
2. But my boss should have been fired for his own honestly-held political belief. Because, because -- No H8, Serious You Guys!!!
I really would like this vicious tribal hypocrisy put into sharp relief by a stunt firing like this.
Not because I support political firings -- I oppose them, strenuously -- but I would like the people calling for political firings to maybe understand their own interest in not calling for political firings every five minutes.
Of course, that will never happen. The left has laid down the rule that their political rights shall never been infringed by an economic penalty, because McCarthyism. While they meanwhile demand the exact same sort of McCarthyism for everyone else.

The only two offenses that are pretty much a guaranteed pink slip in any environment is making the boss look dumb or deliberately antagonizing the boss.
If you do either of those, you better have a Plan B.

Meanwhile, the UN is calling for us to get rid of all our cows and switch to vegetarianism to save the planet from COW FARTS.
Well, when we're all eating BEANS, they're going to have more FARTS than they know what to do with.

As CEO, hold a mandatory meeting. "You are all receiving a questionaire. If you think that someone should be fired based in whole or in part on their political beliefs, then please fill it out. When finished, hand it in to the guy at the door, who will give you your severance pay. The rest of you get the day off. See you all tomorrow."

this is why the left has such adoration for the muzzies. they are polar opposite in ideology, but t is not about ideology, it is about power and the left loves those other extremists know how to use every f-ing lever they can get a hold of the make non-believers yield.

Agreed. Work is not the Kumbaya club where you get to pass around the sharing stick and vent your feelings to everyone. I actually like my boss, but in no way would I be stupid enough to embarrass him publicly, like or no, should I have a disagreement.
Is he asking potential employees if they are gay, then tossing their resume in the trash if they say yes? Is he harassing his gay employees? Is he creating a hostile workplace for them, other than his personally held political views I suspect he never talks about?
No?

The other upside that I see - to the extent that the employees in question are privy to code and other proprietary information, he could fire them and keep them from getting other, similar jobs as well.
Of course, Mozilla's products are open source, so I can't imagine that there's much there to be "proprietary". Frees him up to go all scorched earth on the ingrates.

Ask them to bake a cake in honor of a right wing hero, a photo in the icing sort of thing. Reagan, Rush, Clarence Thomas, Palin, etc, that sort of thing. Reagan would be especially poignant since the blame him for AIDS. See what they say then. Making a cake in honor of a former President should not be classified as a hate crime...yet.

The book _Blacklisted By History_ is a fine start for answering such questions.
To be followed by _The Venona Papers_. In which it becomes clear that a whole lot of people who were accused of being Soviet agents of influence during the McCarthy years... actually were Soviet agents of influence.

Just once I would like to see someone stand up and yell back: No More.

I can assure you, lots of priests and ministers are preparing, along with their churches, for such an event.
I don't know if anyone anywhere has suggested a serious confrontation with the New Gestapo. Say it quite simple: "If I don't have a right to express or live my life based upon my beliefs or opinions, then NEITHER SHOULD YOU!"

OH! Him!
Rousseau repeatedly claims that a single idea is at the centre of his world view, namely, that human beings are good by nature but are rendered corrupt by society.
That's enough for me, no need to read any further.

Nah. There's nothing like a cat for giving you that 'it wasn't me, it was some other cat that did that dumb thing' look. It's why you have one, isn't it?

I expect to live out my remaining years holding to the beliefs instilled in me by my parents--the ones so ridiculed in these times.
Absolutely unconcerned about abandoning or changing them.

I am to lazy too check -- but I think California provides state consitutional and statutory free speech protections that actually apply to private enteprises. I could be misremembering though.
Come to Texas, Mozilla, where you are still free to fire assholes.

I hate to write about them and give them what they desire, publicity or buzz.
hey can't compete on user experience or results, so they follow the Stasi route and hope a gays will all abandon OKCupid's many other competitors, because they are more doctrinaire, they want to punish free speech, free association.
Now, do we want to live in a world where without free speech...the left and far left think want that.

It was and is coming a million miles away. No thanks to ACE and other so called conservatives who are so quick to bash Putin's approaches on the subject.
When is enough enough?
When are Americans going to get the message and say "that's it. no more"
We might as well fold up the tent. Free speech is going soon, anyway. It already is de facto due to stuff like this and the fear of the GOPe and their ilk to be called names instead of standing up for principle and against such bullying tactics.

Mr Eich,
It has not escaped me that you are in a maelstrom of opinion, with many of the shrillest voices coming from your own employees. If I may be so bold as to suggest you have a look at my profile, perhaps you might see in me a candidate for a position with your firm. I would never presume to question your politics, as I firmly believe that is your own affair. While I realize that a {{what I do}} may not be at the center of your recruiting radar at the moment, nevertheless I believe that Mozilla could benefit from my extensive experience in the industry. And, also from my respect for the right of an individual to their own beliefs. Point 7 of the Manifesto begins with the word "Free" - as Stallman explained to me after a talk at XYZ in the late '70s, free doesn't (just) mean without price. It means to be at liberty. Some of your employees feel empowered to deny you your liberty of thought. I would not do this. I ask that you consider replacing one of them with me. For the sake of freedom.
Thanks for your time, and best wishes.
