Of course, you are completely wrong. See my example above regarding head shops, strip clubs, bars & package stores. If a municipality or county votes to disallow a them a business license, for whatever reason they deem fit, then they are effectively barred from operating in that area.
If a municipality as a whole sees donating to hate groups as morally or ethically wrong & something they don't want to support, then they are well within their rights to disallow a business license to a company that does just that. Period, full stop, end of.
If you think I am incorrect, feel free to try to get a liquor license in a dry county. Be sure to let us know how far you get.
