A man loses his job merely because he has an opinion the left dislikes.
McCarthyism of the left: A man loses his job merely because he has an opinion the left dislikes.
We also have a blacklist being used to harass and intimidate conservatives.
But this can’t be so! The left is home of tolerance and diversity!
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

The pussification of America, this is what endeavors to run America.

Talk about bigoted!
Bigots, close minded, exclusionary, elite, stereotyping, just plain old narrow minded and nasty as they enter their meeting in complete safety and comfort. The Star chamber on estrogen.
I am beginning to believe that modern education is more of a disease than it is education, I used to beat myself up for not getting an education past high school, not so much any more. The fact that university’s and colleges are bastions of liberalism can not help, these kids are not getting an education, they are being turned into brown shirts.
I think this is worse than anything Joseph McCarthy ever did, this is a culture war and a war against Christianity, and against conservatives. This is the splitting of America with factions for every conceivable lifestyle, with atheist’s, gays, feminists, socialists and communists all splintering off of what America was and what it stood for, I think we are in for a wild ride, conservatives need to band together and vote in such a way as to minimize the damage, diversity as long as your not a conservative.
Apologies for being the troll here, but …
BAH. Three little words: Fire At Will.
Unless you’ve got a union or something like civil service behind you, you can be fired or laid off at any time for any reason in just about any state in the country. Businessmen know this is essential; conservatives defend the practice incessantly.
Too bad about Mr. Eich, but he should suck it up and move on. So should the rest of us, but we should also thank the Mozilla people for demonstrating that the law applies to everyone. Score one for America!
“we should also thank the Mozilla people for demonstrating that the law applies to everyone.”
Mike, I seem to be missing your point. Of course the 14th Amendment applies. No one is complaining that Mozilla didn’t have a right to drum out Mr. Eich, but many are complaining about the hypocrisy of claiming tolerance and equality when they are, in fact, intolerant and appear to think that they are more equal than Eich.
I hate to keep repeating this tale on this site, but when I went to Berkeley, many of the students there bragged about being intolerant only of intolerance. It turned out that the word intolerance meant “anything I disagree with.” They were not tolerant of ideas that differed from their own, and they were even less tolerant of those who had such ideas. Anyone who wanted to fit in (and at that age, who doesn’t) had to espouse the ideas of the left, and they had to modify those ideas whenever the left’s ideology “evolved.” Anyone who failed to do so became ostracized along with those on the right. I remember some people complaining that there should be a “PC Magazine” (Politically Correct, not Personal Computing) so that everyone could keep up with the ever-changing PC ideology.
It seems that Mr. Eich needed a retroactive PC Magazine so that in 2008 he could keep up with the President’s future evolution in 2012 and Mozilla’s own evolution that would occur in 2014. How are we supposed to stay PC when the future will hold it against us for having the exact same viewpoint that the Democrat president has today?
To be fired for having an opinion that differs from your board of directors or employers when it has no bearing or relation to job duties is fascism, if job performance is not to nominal standards is one thing, but for an idea or an act that has no direct action to the business is wrong.
