It's amazing that some people haven't realized this...

42. Tell the Supreme Court. Justices have ruled that Nazis can march through

predominantly Jewish neighborhoods. If that isn't anti-American and anti-humanity, nothing is.

HOWEVER, sometimes in the US we have to accept that the reprehensible (watching someone die, or even encouraging it, without calling for help) and the evil (Nazis in full regalia rallying in public) are nonetheless legal.

And most importantly, we need to accept that a defense of the Constitution ("Right to assembly," e. g.) is not synonymous with approval, with like-mindedness, with anything other than that basic point.

Should decent people then simply remain quiet, "do nothing"? Well, the Constitution gives opponents to Nazism equal rights to speech and assembly. Counter-rallies, Tweets, editorials, massive media condemning, personal shunning, economic boycotting, voting---all legal retaliation.

It is perhaps a shame and an error of the first magnitude that we have not emulated Germany's making any show of Nazism illegal, but it is where we are today.

P. S. My father won a Bronze Star and a Silver Star (the latter for bravery in attacking a German bunker) in the Battle of the Bulge. I have been to Dachau. I exalt the actions of the Israelis in the thrilling capture of Eichmann ("The House on Garibaldi Street" ), the stunning rescue in Entebbe, the covert operation to hunt down the murderers of their 1972 Olympic athletes ("One Day in September" ), etc.

Frankly, I wish a very painful death upon all Nazis, in whatever form and nationality they now take.

Thus, I state my case above not lightly or ignorantly, but I hope at least cogently.
