In any case, to break out of the nazi rut for a moment, it might help to elucidate my position to explain that I think the law should act as little as possible, in the least intrusive manner possible, with the minimum amount of coercion and force as possible, only when absolutely required.
I think that hate speech and inciting to violence oversteps the above by a great deal, not that we don't want to get rid of both, that this isn't a good idea- just that using the law to do so probably isn't as prudent as many believe.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
