Isn't it just like in the UK? Basically the BNP et al seem to think there's only a finite amount of rights to go round, so by giving rights to non-whites, immigrants, homosexuals, athiests etc. (i.e. people like THEM) you must automatically remove them from people like US. And one of those is the right to hate people like THEM and not have them in OUR country!
Well, I don't live in the US, so it's not really something I'm qualified to discuss. However, I would say that as Argentina has veered toward the left, property rights have come under serious seige, and now liberty of expression is going under as well (one of the problems with the left, at least in South America, is that it tends to be idealistic as opposed to dealing with facts, and when the press calls things by their name, they go bonkers).
The truth is that if you have a university education and come from any country that isn't a first world country, you will never be a socialist. We've seen real socialism. We've suffered it. It is a way to supress any kind of individuality by insuring that there is no economic incentive (the only kind that really matters) to do things well, or to strive to be better than every one else.
Perhaps the US right isn't worried about this, but I would be if I were in the US. As they say: socialism is the most painful path from capitalism to capitalism!
