I have seen many post in here complaining about left wingers stifling the voices of others. While this is generally true, we do not have to cower. Religion always stifled the freedom of speech, except its own. If you preach to the choir, "your" opinion is welcome.

Religions - all of them are against other religions. Some are more violent about it than others. The most violent is islam, the new left is still far behind, but not far enough. Yes, socialism is a religion. Even Bertrand Russel said so. And socialism still is violent. Just look at the Soviet Union 30 years ago and at China today. Socialism is just a godless religion, but a religion nonetheless. So obviously they hate other religions, especially the ones closest to them geographically.

The united States, in the name of freedom of religion, created the world’s only true freedom of speech. Europe does not practice this true freedom, only we do. Let's not let anti-theist stifle our voices. We must claim what is our most precious freedom.

It must be a two way street. Exercise your freedom of speech right but knowing that you can be held accountable by mine when I call you up on stuff considered uncalled for. As I see it, for as long as we are willing to have a conversation then it should work just fine, either way.

Um, don’t you mean RIGHT wingers are stifling freedom of speech? Unless it’s tgeir speech, of course.

Read what I wrote about Skokie as compared to Charlotteville. The left is by far more violent about it and constantly so

@norealgod Perhaps you could distinguish between left-wing extremists, and those of us who are leftist but opposed to violence. Still, in the bigger picture, right-wing extremists do more damage, more terrorism, more instigating. The driver in Charlottesville was right-wing(White supremacist) as I understand it. I’m opposed to them and everything they stand for, and I’ll march/protest(as is my right). Why should the KKK march unopposed? You seriously think that’s a solution, just let them do THEIR freedom of speech, regardless of it terrorizing whole groups of people, with zero accountability for their message?
I disagree with you. You have the right to your opinion; I have the right to dissent...and I do.

@CarolinaGirl60 The right wing extremists are not doing even one tenth of the damage of left wingers, It is the skewed media that sows the one and ignores the other, You are all touting this one example and even here you ignore important facts. The supremacists had a licence to parade, the left wingers did not. One was a parade, the other a riot. The riot was organized, the murder was not.You apply guilt by association whenever it is convenient. Again, it is the left who riots and the media who ignores those riots. Regardless of the euphemisms that you all try so hard to use - they are a MOB.

@CarolinaGirl60 I just noticed. Zero accountability? Absolutely right. left wingers riot and hardly anybody even hears about. The right does not riot and as hard as the media tries, they cannot show what is not there.

@norealgod
You still didn’t address my question: should folks like the KKK or Westboro Church just march and spread terror without ANY opposition? Would you agree that ANY ‘group’ should take to parading and the ‘answer’ is for the opposition to stay home?! ? Women, LGBT, people of color, Muslims, BLM, satanists...yeah. The right wing should just stay away while others march/protest. That’s a workable solution?. Not gonna happen. Can you find an example where the left extremists have protested...but the right stayed away, in their homes/etc, doing and saying nothing?

One problem I have with conservatives is that ya’ll think YOUR rights are more important than the rights of others, especially where it’s First Amendment issues.

Statistics on which ideologies have committed more violence are widely available from credible sources. Blaming ‘media’ is a cop-out conservatives now use as a crutch when they have no argument left to make.

Truth be told there, and I for one am tired of being silent, being an atheist/agnostic surrounded by religious fanatics is bad enough.
