The reality is our country can do little to stop the promotion of hate. Freedom of speech is wonderful, however free speech becomes a terminal cancer in the absence of a moral compass. Americans struggle with common sense morality and simple kindness. Nearly seventy percent of our population claims to follow the teachings of Christ...I don't buy it!
The American culture is conducive to acting out hate. Example: The Confederate flag flies over a State Capital and remains a subliminal reminder of our hate history. I'm sorry but when one side gets its ass kicked in a 'war' they don't get to display their flag any longer. Except for future Texas school history books, The South lost the Civil War; get over it, Bubba!
Many free-speech bumper stickers perpetuates racism...example...
'A Million People Attended Obama's Inauguration and Fourteen Missed Work.'
If that is funny to you then you are filled with a mean spirit not the Holy Spirit and your 'walk' with Christ pales in comparison to the forgiving Christians seated in the Emanuel AME Church pews in Charleston, SC; ponder that truth!
While in Florida this past winter, I was behind a pickup truck; The back window was covered with the Confederate flag and the bumper sticker Read: 'Obama: The Quicker Fucker Upper'
Just below the bumper was a large flesh color ornament of male testicles hanging nearly to the ground. Hip, Hip, Hooray for the First Amendment; I am sure the driver was carrying a gun and favors prayer in public schools.
The mentally and emotionally fragile people are insecure. In order to 'feel' superior, these people must have 'some' identifiable group to suppress, blame and execute acts of hatred. Come on folks, that was key to the rise of Nazi Germany.
