However I dislike the politically correct liberal left “inn crowd” of this country. If someone respects me and my views I will respect them. We don’t have to agree just allow one another to have a different view. There are political and religious philosophies that humanity could do without. I don’t believe in the right or left, I think the logical path is better.

=============
If I judge someone's ideas to be dangerous to society then I cannot 
respect them. Of course I may be wrong and actually be a danger to 
society, but if one holds a set of views, then one has to stand by them 
until or unless proved wrong, otherwise we will end up in a permanent 
state of "an open mind", with all the indecisiveness that that implies. .

If I join an organisation whose aims and principles I agree with, then I 
carry on as if those aims and principles are correct, otherwise there's 
no point in joining.

This doesn't mean I don't listen to ideas I despise, if only for 
ammunition to use against their holders.
