"Comeon Askole, you need some new stuff."My dear FreedominJesusChrist ... just as the difference between therapeutic and reproduction cloning is a matter of Intent and just as the difference between revenge and Justice is a matter of Attitude, the difference between Hate Speech and Free Speech is a matter of Target.That wasn't funny.

RedBloodedAmerican's patriotism is of a decidedly nationalistic bent so I -- as a critic -- become a suitable target for juvenile Hate speech intended to ostracize, dehumanize, intimidate and silence me.
No genuine love of country ever ends up lashing out at or demonizing others. Rabid nationalism does.
It's going to get decidedly worse before it gets better. No need to take offense ... it's a sign of the End Times, you know. Let's stave them off as best we can. =)
