so are the Crips, the Bloods, Latin Kings, or MS-13 hate groups? Or are they exempt despite all the damage they do to society, based on these criteria?
These criteria are taking us down a slippery slope, into which people with political differences of opinion with the liberal elite will be suspected of fomenting hatred.
You see it already the way some issues are discussed in the MSM.
If you oppose homosexual marriage, you are an anti-gay bigot. Bigots are hateful, so you hate gays.
If you oppose abortion on demand, as espoused by Roe vs. Wade, you hate women.
If you oppose affirmative action, you are a racist, and by definition, hate minorities.
If you oppose illegal immigration, you hate immigrants/minorities.
And so it goes. The way the liberals define terms of debate and the criteria for judging people and situations, honest political debate on the issues of the day is being defined as hatred of people, if you oppose the liberal view on an issue.
“so are the Crips, the Bloods, Latin Kings, or MS-13 hate groups?”
And what about the blatantly anti-Semitic #OWS movement?
“These criteria are taking us down a slippery slope, into which people with political differences of opinion with the liberal elite will be suspected of fomenting hatred.”
Not to worry - the NDAA will take care of this for us and we won’t have to live with ‘hate’ anymore!
