I think you are partially correct. I think there are statements made on this board that counter leftist political dogma, and as such could be characterized as "hateful." I do not mean objectively hateful, but hateful as defined to be anything that doesn't mirror the left's race pandering, class envy, victocrat mentality.

I do not think that any reasonable person would think FR or its members pose a threat to anyone. One of the left's most significant victories is changing the terms of the dialogue so that there is no recognized difference between word and deed. For example, if state that I do not think illegal immigrants should not have drivers licenses the left would understand this to imply that I "hate" illegal immigrants and must be stopped before I harm them or violate their civil rights.

I try to avoid granting their assumption that voicing my opinion or disapproval necessarily means that I will carry out some physical action against those with whom I disagree.

How am I correct? I didn't say that.

I don't either. Do you consider leftists to be reasonable? Perhaps you should direct your thoughts towards Trust but Verify.

That's good. You shouldn't ever do that even in the slightest degree.
