Drugs. I am vehemently opposed to the legalization of drugs, including marijuana. And yeah that's about the only thing on which I agree with the Republicans.

Exactly what I think.

I also actually oppose Affirmative Action for the reasons you mentioned. However, I can't say I agree with Republicans on this issue since their position seems saying "let's do nothing and racism will fade away itself" which is false. I support state measures in order to change mentalities such as tougher laws against racial hatred ( that's why Ist Amendment should be modified ) and state agencies to promote equality ( something like HALDE in France ).

Amending the first amendment is a terrible idea. You can't ban hatred anyways.

Yes, we can. At least we can try.

We shouldn't try.

Do you ( honestly ) think France is a dictatorship ? Because we've plenty of laws against racial hatred.

I never said France is a dictatorship. And no I do not think that.

Speech should be generally unrestricted regardless of the hatred it may represent.

Could I ask you why ?

You can't compare Fox News and the KKK. For is just a joke TV for conservatives, the other claims that blacks are inferior beings. The second claim is a permanent threat to democracy and has not to be tolerated.

I understand ( and admire ) the purpose of Ist Amendment. But freedom of expression, as every freedom, threatens others' freedom when it's unlimited. As I said sometimes ago, here is what I think :

To sum up, you are free to attack the ideas and opinions, but not the people themselves.
