I read the posts in this forum, varying opinions, beliefs, views that we are all entitled to by our first amendment related to free speech a foundational belief for all USA citizens. Sharing these diverse beliefs are important to understanding others. When people in this forum start name calling , slurring or ignoring facts of others because of their beliefs, affiliations, race, religion etc. It takes away from purpose or ability for a civil sharing of ideas for mutual understanding. We can agree with others, or we can agree to disagree but should never disparage others for their view. I challenge all participants in this forum to start a “ Love Revolution “ take the hate out of your responses. Provide facts opinions as you see them but respect the right we each have to voice our views without retribution, name calling, etc. I feel we will all grow expotentionally in our understanding of each other by listening, sharing and caring about each other. Time for hatred to be replaced by “Love”. I plan to share my views without name calling but will call out name calling when I see it and ask for the person to please stop, please consider doing the same. We got to reset at some time, now is as good as any.

I agree that certain affiliations are counter American, when I can truely ID non American ideas and challenge the idea I will, but I still have to respect each persons views, I can disagree but don’t have to name call them, just factually counter their statements. We do have all the types of people you mention above in the USA to the extent they don’t break the law their view is protected by first amendment. While I may not like or agree with their views, I can listen, agree to disagree without hate. I suspect if someone I know, friend family member or myself were wronged by one of these vocal minorities, it would be hard not to hate, but I would try.
