Quote:Not the right, but the ability.  Strong-arming businesses to stop selling anything related to the Confederacy and demanding Confederate monuments and memorials come down is stripping individuals of the ability to celebrate something that they wish to celebrate.  The Atlanta NAACP wants to sand blast the faces off of Stone Mountain.  I don't believe in coercing people to do anything nor taking something away from people.

I thought conservatives liked the "invisible hand of the marketplace" dictating behavior.

 

But truth be told, there wasn't much time for a grass root effort to pressure those retailers like Walmart, Amazon, et al, to stop selling Confederate merchandise.  They largely decided to do that on their own.  Certainly, corporations, as people, have consciences and the ability to act according to their consciences...right?
