I'm not aligning with racists and I'm all for progressive revenue increases (tax the rich more, I'm all for it), I'm also for allowing people the freedom of though and expression - even that which I don't agree with. Stripping people of that right enters into a totalitarian government in some false pretense of a utopia. Whether it be the US or Germany or wherever, the population falls into that trap like a bunch of lemmings.
Freedom of speech and expression should be a fundamental human right, I'm not sure what else to say.
Let's not pretend you're liberal given the complete lack of misgiving over the consequences of absence of deconfederation.
