Would you have the same position if it were a clerk who was performing gay marriages in a state where gay marriages are not permitted? I doubt it. You either have to be for firing everyone (which is my position) or no one.

By the way, we do not have the "highest unemployment rate in decades". It has been higher a number of times, including in the last ten years.

I know that the mainstream media wants the economy to be as shitty as possible (and thanks to months of their tripe, their wish is probably about to become true). However, unemployment, on a historical basis, is not that bad right now.
