Now try installing Nazi ideals into our government and I have no problem with lining them up against a wall and shooting them for Treason, Nazism is evil incarnate and should never be allowed to gain power again, Never.

and I think this is the point.


Its an ABC poll. where polls are used by big companies, the language is studied deeply before the poll is done. They know exactly what they are looking for.... here is the important bit...they used opaque language. They used a term that has to be interpreted by the hearer.


Considering the context of the current national discussion being "constitutionality of free speech" you lead to some folk making an interpretation of the question related to "rights" not "acceptable.


ABC wanted to bump up the number saying its "ok" while suggesting after the fact, this is about acceptability not constitutionality.

The good news is that the more rallies we have like Charlottesville, the more these miscreants come out from under their rocks to get their faces out on Facebook and YouTube. Most of them can't stand the light of day, and they will end up burning their bridges with family and community. These views will not be accepted by the vast majority of Americans.

Are Neo-Nazi views morally reprehensible? Yes

Should it be illegal ? No

You meet someone with a bad opinion, shoot them down we arguments, facts and logic.

No wonder the USA is already "2nd world" and headed back toward 3rd world status quickly. Heck, even hundreds of years ago people had basic common sense.

Well, we can put one thing to bed. The Nazis we saw marching are not an anomaly - they are a bonafide part of the American Right.
If we keep letting illegals come in as they please, we could head towards "3rd world."
