    Until they prove otherwise, I will not view them as worthy of any respect or recognition that I would give a normal person.

      You should give everyone respect and dignity, even if they don’t. You don’t have to accept their views or be nice to them but they deserve the same basic respect and dignity any human being does. Painting this picture of a group of people being beneath your group has historically not worked out in terrible ways. It’s not a good or healthy response to political discourse and doing what they’re doing has never been a valid justification. If you want to act like they do, then I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be with them.

        Respect is not something to be freely given, but earned. That is something that I and many others have been taught, and have learned through experience. Dignity can be given, but when you abandon your own dignity you will find others who will not provide it to you.

        You seem to exercise the paradox of tolerance. I cannot and will not tolerate the intolerant.
