Are you being serious? This is not idiocy, these ideologies are dangerous and can be propagated easily to volatile fragile influential minds. Why do you think former fascist countries made fascism and nazism illegal and invested so much on 300 articles constitutions with all rights described specifically? To prevent further disasters. Well some opinions are pure stupidity but there's a line between that and posing a danger. The proof of that is the rise of far right in europe, the so called nationalist parties that disguise themselves in cultural identities and nation values to hide their fascist heritage based on hate, racism and xenophobe, just check Marine Le Penn's comment comparing Muslims in france with Hitler's holocaust (it was funny but still highly racist) or her father making the anti-immigration comments advocating the death of all them trough the ebola virus
So we need a Bureau of Correct Opinion (or some other bureacracy to evaluate ideas and divide them into acceptable and unacceptable) to determine what ideologies American are allowed to hold? Do you really think that is the way to go?
I thought we had learned by now that some cures are worse than the disease they're supposed to fight.
