One of the reasons that the LEFT has made 'silence' guilty. They seek to make anything other than loud positive verbal affirmation to be active violation(s). Can you say "Cultural Revolution"?

“I would like to apologize to those hook nose sheckel hording Jews for being being all about the Benjamins.”
