There have been many posts over the past few years that are pretty outrageous and nutty...and I often wonder if it is the Feds are just a nut

Could be. The left almost always exaggerates behavior to the point of absurdity because they truly believe that’s what is acceptable (and welcomed) by conservatives.

Either one is entirely possible. Best not to spew anything that might be construed as instigating violence or a threat. There are plenty of ways to express an opinion - humor is among the best.

"...There have been many posts over the past few years that are pretty outrageous and nutty..."

This is true. However, I chalk this up to the fact that when there is freedom of speech, there is outrageousness and nuttiness.

That's the way it is. You take the good with the bad.

But I would rather have the freedom to say things that are outrageous and nutty, than to have some third party be the arbiter of what thoughts I am allowed to express.

I try not to say things online that I would not say aloud in a group of people I might encounter at a party. I sure do say some inflammatory things such as:

"I have come to believe much of the destructive legislation I see coming from government is not well intentioned-it is malicious in nature."

Or...

"I keep open the possibility that this Communist Chinese virus was released intentionally by them."

Or...

"The Democrat Party is composed of people who hate America and wish to see it destroyed so they can make it in their own image."

Or...

"Leftists are mentally ill because they have to live with a huge level of cognitive dissonance caused by needing to hold two diametrically opposed thoughts in their mind as true, when only one of them can be true."

Or...

The Media is a straight up arm of the American Left. They both work in conjunction with each other and actively collaborate with each other.

And so on. You get the idea. In some of the circles I frequent, I can be sure that all of these statements would be regarded as lunatic right-wing conspiracy theories by those listening.

Depending on the circumstances, I might not volunteer my opinion, but if asked, I don't hesitate to speak my mind. Not even a bit.
