I Thank God I Live In America and Not Europe
But maybe for not much longer with the likes of the ACLU.
This story makes me angry. I realize that Germany may be sensitive to it's past, but I'd rather have "hate speech" than govt. regulating speech.
I don't think hate speech or crimes exist anyway. It's another tool invented by the left wing to try and silence the speech of us conservative, white, Christian males types. If you can't legislatively, then it's time to try and shame people into siding with your cause. It doesn't intimidate me.
I think there is a big difference between expressing an unpopular opinion publicly, and taking actions that cause harm to others. That is where I draw the line. As much as I find the Klan repugnant, I support there right to believe what they want to believe as long as they don't cause physical harm to anybody. If somebody went to a Klan rally and then went and hurt somebody, well I blame the person for being unstable to begin with.
Bottom line... if I can take your free speech away, you can take mine away. And then nobody has free speech.
But I forgot... only libs can have free speech. Anything else is "hate speech".
This makes me very angry...
