Well at least the republican party doesn't have policies that are evil.
But are you saying Timothy that Democratic party polices can never be called evil or if people are convinced they are. That the Democratic party policies are all beyond reproach.
So a party with evil policies can never have their policies criticized or be declared evil, because someone might be offended.
What a totalitarian world it would be, if people couldn't share their opinion on what they thought was evil.
The communist and Nazi parties were declared evil by millions, because their policies were evil.
I'm not saying that the Democratic party are Communists or Nazis, but I believe all parties should be allowed to be subject to freely expressed opinions, not have peoples opinions of them shut down because someone might be offended.
What if the Nazis policy was beyond criticism, and no one could express the opinion that it was evil. That ultimately happened. The ministry of propaganda censored peoples free opinion declaring Nazis policy was evil, that was pretty unhealthy to democracy in the end.
If the republican party had evil policies I would say the same thing.
Shutting down peoples opinion on political parties, because other people disagree with them, is telling people that they can't believe or express their opinion. Declaring that the Democratic party is beyond critical opinion, because someone might be offended is not freedom of speech, it is tyranny of one opinion over other opinions.
Yes you can freely express your opinion, just so long your opinion isn't that the Democratic party has evil policies, because someone might feel offended by that idea.
You may not have called someone evil or unchristian, but your opinion that the Democratic party has evil policies can never be expressed, and is a forbidden opinion, and needs censorship.
I might find someones position offensive, but if they haven't offended me personally, I think they should be allowed to express that position.
I don't say ' I find your position on the republican party offensive, so therefore you can not say anything against the republican party '. That would be inflicting tyranny over others opinions.
