  1. Exactly. You can fly them if you like, you just can't buy them anywhere. You have your religious freedom, you just can't exercise it. Bake the cake. You're free to have your opinion. We'll just let the twitter mob give you the trial, the media will follow suit, business will quake in their boots, politicians will run for cover, but hey, free speech for all. New York Times won't publish a cartoon about Muhammad. They do have standards you know. A picture of the Pope covered in condoms? Can't imagine that would offend anyone. Run the presses.

  6. Some retailers sell Nazi memorabilia because they can get away with it. Most don't. It's very much a niche market. Looks like the Confederate flag is experiencing a similar, if belated, fate.

    I'm sure you could still find outlets that cater to bigotry and hate if you put your mind to it. All is not lost.

    You got me there! The only thing worse is using a climate science class as a reference.

  9. You're right. The NY Times, Wash Post and TV networks obviously fill that niche.
