No, to everything else. I'm not interested in being put up against the wall when I fail some purity test, and neither should you be. I'm all for arresting the rioters, I'm all for arresting their funders/leaders, hell, I'll even support dragging any "on air" talent that encouraged this shit, but I can't support rooting out teachers, no matter how evil they are.
It is often said that the Constitution isn't a suicide pact. This is wrong, it very much is a suicide pact, for when we let it die, we will follow. The bill of rights matters. I hate those commie fucks more than just about anything, but my hate doesn't trump their right to free speech.
Maybe at some point the civil war will be "hot" enough that we have to do some seriously unpleasant shit. I'll be willing to revisit certain issues, but on the first amendment, I have no compromise.
Yes, it sadly is.
