Because "conservative" does not equal "tolerant" either?

Most Liberals, as some of you define it are either:

a) white guilt ridden in public, that ocassionally enjoy certain aspects of black culture, but are really pro-white bigots when around only white people/behind closed doors

OR

b) pro-black people that acknowledge whites when it benefits them but in private or around only black people truly detest white people, despise white involvement in black culture, and look for every opportunity to "defeat whitey" (award shows are a great example of this) as retribution for years of oppression

Doesn't sound like either group of Obamacrats are very open-minded and accepting of each other do they? Their only common-bond is that they both favor Obama's economic policies. When the taxpayer money runs out, there will be no common bond.

I've never heard any dem, liberal, or progressive define it like that. I truly have no idea where you are coming from.

Liberals are very open minded. We don't kill doctors that provide abordion services, we do not want to take away any rights from fellow (gay) American citizens, and we don't discriminate against anybody.

I think there is a push by many liberal groups (but not all liberals) to change the colloquial definition of tolerant to mean acceptance. As the the fellows in South Park so irreverently pointed out, tolerance does not equal acceptance.



I tolerate all people, meaning I recognize the fact that they have a right to exist, I do not however have to approve of it, or celebrate it or accept it as part of my life.

Liberal has literally become a synonym for intolerance. As an experiment, try expressing a conservative opinion to a liberal. I wonder how tie-dye would look with a totenkampf cap and jack boots?

Only to RW Radiobots that keep hearing the same sewage day in and day out. Pretty soon, it's hook, line and sinker.

I would be willing to bet you have already tried on the tie-dye, totenkampf cap, jackboots costume. You prove my point and took the bait within seconds. As illustrated, a liberal will bite on something shiney, just like a bullhead.

The only bait is the constant feeding of the sheep at the RW radio trough.

But keep patting yourself on the back for your delusional thoughts.
