There aren’t many Alabama businessmen whose comments make the pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post on the same weekend.
And there are no others along a stretch of U.S. 431 outside Anniston on the way to Lake Wedowee, besides Bob Castello. The 68-year-old former traveling salesman is the owner of the Dixie General Store, one of the places where those who want to remember the Confederacy take their stand and buy its emblems. And not in Confederate dollars, either, although you can buy replicas of them there.

People can have any kind of store they want. I'm free to shop there or not. I'm NOT free to destroy that store. It's none of my business who wants that merchandise. Same with a Nazi store. I'm sure that Nazi stores offend a lot of people. They are free to sell whatever, and people are free to not shop there. If someone wants to buy that stuff, fine. I don't care. I may form an opinion about the person who displays such items, but it's their right to do so. Free speech and all. On the other hand, abortion stores are off limits. Can't protest in front of those.

I frequently look at auctions sites for oddball stuff/guns. There are so many Nazi memorabilia on these sites. I wonder when those will get shut down.
