I see this thread will go nowhere.
This forum full of closed-minded farts has decided that they only support freedoms when they agree with the content of those freedoms.
I am quite disgusted, really.
I had been fooled into thinking this was a forum of liberal minded people. It is not. As the 'liberals' mentioned in the OP, many here have become the very monsters liberalism is supposed to fight.
I can only hope someday the world realizes there is no room for hate from either said of the aisle.
All symbols have to parts. If we cannot separate them, then evil will always prevail.
Love your enemies!
