Being tolerant is considered a requirement for anyone who wishes to be considered a liberal or any type of decent person.


We have been lectured that we should not disregard or disrespect the views of others with whom we do not agree. Rather, we should simply "agree to disagree" because there are "two sides to every story".

This is bullshit.

I can tolerate anyone who chooses a different lifestyle, has their own version of spirituality, is a different color or loves differently than I do. But, I WILL not be tolerant of fools---exactly the correct descriptor---whose loud and mean-spirited blather is transparently idiotic. This includes nearly everything vomited out of Trump's puckered pie hole and, of course, the mewling sycophants who always agree with every absurdity which he anoints as fact.

Many of the talking heads on TV, nearly all of the doctors and scientists and other government experts, continue to respect the rancid aberration in the White House. They soft-pedal any outrageous stupidity spewed by Trump. There are dozens and dozens of examples, but perhaps the most egregious is Dr. Deborah Birx's reaction to Trump's suggestion that somehow getting disinfectants of UV lights "inside" of our bodies could destroy Corona virus. She was maybe ten feet away from him when he said this and when he turned to her to comment---she basically kissed his ass as she sought to avoid saying "That is a ridiculous suggestion and could lead to people ingesting toxic substances!"

Finally, most commentators will call Trump's lies "lies". But, they need to go further. They need to add words like "fool" and "idiot" and "ridiculous" and, yes, please, "bullshit" to their on-air vocabulary when covering the Trump regime.

1. being tolerant to a christofascist means you should say nothing, challenge nothing that say or do.

Tolerant people demand that you endorse murdering unborn children and sodomizing the ones that are allowed to live.

My, my, the Atticus primitive is bitter in his old age.

Of what Perpendicular  -iverse[/i] is Atticus speaking? Twenty years ago Libs and Progs were clubbing conservatives as "intolerant" for daring to disagree with them about abortion, homosexuality, and the full range of political issues. Pointing out Prog intolerance is calling out Progs' hypocrisy. Except modern Prog intolerance includes approving of violence and murder by Antifoid and BLM thugs!
