Re: Westboro Funeral Pickets Are Protected Speech

Private business - yes
In reality, though you cannot do this.
Most states are at-will states, but you cannot fire someone on the basis of race, sex, age, religion, or other protected classes.
Now you can fire them, but then you must prove that it was not due to any protected class/reason.
Otherwise, get ready for an EEOC charge and a lawsuit.

Public sector - we have moved beyond the "spoils" system, so this needs handled differently than the private sector.
