I have not followed the thread thoroughly, and we are getting off track discussing some of the few knuckle draggers who exist within the United States. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); a group of attorneys who generally respond to civil rights cases, have at least twice represented individuals who have self identified as Nazis; both, I beleive in parades, one of which was in Skokie, Illinois.
A remark was made concerning Charlottesville that in the US, there are about 8,000 of the KKK; another group of knuckle draggers. Both groups are reprehensible to the great majority of people, whether they are of faith or not. We, however, have a Constitution which protects stupid and hateful speech (in spite of what some far Left youth seem to think). They may not start riots, but they can get permission to march down Center Street, either in their bedsheets or with swastikas on their pseudo uniforms.
Sadly, we have a press which seems to appreciate agitating and stirring the pot, so instead of everyone simply ignoring these cretins, they get national news coverage - exactly what they were looking for. One would think that the editors of the news agencies would be cognizant of this and simply put the story buried somewhere that most people would not easily find; thus avoiding the backlash of “Censorship! Censorship!”, but then Voltaire had it right centuries ago - the problems with common sense is that it is not all that common.
