Banning Grossly Offensive Political Groups

Tagged:  •    •  

One of my teachers today voiced his opinions of how offensive political groups should not be allowed, then asked us for our opinions.

The answer must perforce be "It depends . . ."

Some of the organizations must be allowed, as distasteful as they are.

In general, I cannot support banning political groups who aren't actively breaking the law. The Constitution is pretty clear on this. The People are guaranteed the Right to Free Speech, Right of Free Assembly, and absolutely can associate themselves with whatever Political Advocacy Group they choose.

While I find many of these groups personally detestable, such groups simply must be allowed. I may hate with a passion what they stand for, but I will defend to the death their right to espouse their beliefs.

Sadly, this includes the KKK. Hate them. Absolutely cannot stand what they espouse. I won't go near them when they hold their rallies. I don't want to risk prison, and I'd likely assault one of them if I went.

Ditto for the various National Socialist organizations (NAZIs).

I consider all of them to be woefully (and occassionally WILLFULLY) ignorant persons. Enough said.

I do not, however, grant that one particular organization on your list is in fact a Political Group. They can and should be banned, because they exist primarily to assist people in violating quite a number of laws.

I refer of course, to N.A.M.B.L.A. I don't know from under what rock these particular cretins crawled, and I do not frankly care. They need to be thrown into a special hell for all eternity.

For those who do not know, NAMBLA stands for the National Man/Boy Love Association. This is a group which seeks to legalize Pedophilia by having it classified as a "lifestyle choice." Stop and digest that for a moment.

They are dedicated to enabling particularly sick sexual predators who seek to have sex with children as young as 4 years old. I cannot support that, in any way. (I submit that any parent who could should be stripped of their parental rights immediately and permanently.)

If I go any further, this will turn into a HUGE rant. Why the organizers of this group haven't been tossed into prison already is a total mystery to me. They actively engage in subverting and violating all sorts of laws; it just boggles the mind.
