Is this a political organization or is this a business? And even if it is a business isn't it an offshoot of a political organization? Do they get special dispensation for those type of laws the same way the church does?
Can you be forced to hire someone who has vocalized opposition to your core mission statement? My hiring days are over but if Facebook was around when I was hiring people you can be damn sure I would scour their Facebook entries. Do I want to put someone in the middle of my crew that is a hated antagonistic being based on what they've already written and is publicly available?
I've worked with a Nazi. I got to hear concentration camp jokes. I would never hire this guy no matter how good a coder he was. I hired a Bush supporter who hated Clinton and was nothing more than a political operative that claimed to be a competent programmer, but he ended up being worthless on the programmer side. I'd never hire him again. The vast majority of right-wing people I've ever experienced were really s***** programmers. They learned something once and never learned anything again. They were cargo cult programmers. They typed s*** in without understanding how it worked.
Left-wing people have a habit of learning more and possibly changing their minds. I don't claim they are open-minded when you get to the far left, but as a general rule, the definition of conservative is someone who does not move from where they are, they keep it and protect it. That by definition is a closed minded individual.
