verum planto vos solvo

The intolerance of liberalism.

My neighbor told me the story of how another motorist passed her, then shot her the finger for no apparent reason. Deciding she needed an explanation - she drove after the guy and caught up at him at the next stoplight. She rolled down her window and asked what was the problem. Embarrassed, he admitted he didn't like her "Romney" bumper sticker. In a similar story passed on to me, a woman was confronted by an Obama supporter who ranted and raved at her while she parked her car. She also had problems with a Romney bumper sticker. I've personally encountered people yelling things at me back in 2004 when I sported a Bush decal. If people had a problem with my Romney sticker, they've kept quite. Apparently they are much more respectful when they see the NRA sticker on my car as well.

Liberals love tolerance. They preach tolerance for virtually everything - as long as it's in their belief system. If it runs counter to their beliefs, they'll label you a racist, woman hater, homophobe or any number of other convenient  insults. Apparently tolerance is a one way street to them. For instance, they will tolerate a flag burning as free speech. But if you decide to show support of the Chik-fil-A CEO to voice his traditional view of marriage - you're a homophobic troglodyte.

Bill Mahr along with other high profile liberals can call Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and any number of Conservative women, b**ches, c**nts, mindless tw*ts, sluts and meat bag whores. Conservative commentator, Michelle Malkin has been called the "Subic Bay bar girl", and "Manilla whore". She takes it in stride saying: "I've been called a whore so many times (Huffington Post), I'm beginning to think its my middle name." Matt Taibbi, now of Rolling Stone magazine, who mocked her early championing of the tea party movement by jibing: “Now when I read her stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of (redacted) in her mouth. It vastly improves her prose.” Nice, huh.  Incredible tolerance for those who hold a differing viewpoint. Rush Limbaugh makes one errant remark about Sandra Fluke being slutty (in reference to her need for free birth control) and the whole world stops - demanding he be taken off the air. Bill Mahr donates $1 million to the Obama campaign and liberals applaud his vulgar attacks as free speech.

Liberals have ton of tolerance for a woman who decides to abort her baby, but none at all for the dead baby. Should you speak up for the baby's right to life, you are a woman hating hate mongerer for denying a woman's right to choose  - to murder a baby. Conversation over.

Tea Party members have been called the worst of the worst. I refuse to reprint here the slings and arrows they've been called. But remember this; when the Occupy Wall Street crowd were, well occupying - there were reported rapes, drug use, public defecation and outright violence upon persons and property in almost every city they occupied. When the Tea Party holds rallys, they leave the property cleaner than when they arrived. (See the Washington Mall rally photos before & after) And there has never been an arrest at any Tea Party rally anywhere - even when confronted by opposition persons who try and get a response so they can post it online as proof of Tea Party intolerance. Nice try, losers.

Liberals aren't interested in true tolerance or exchange of ideas. Witness what happens when a conservative tries to address a gathering at a college campus. They are shouted down. Sometimes so much that the guest speaker has to leave without speaking - often in fear for their safety. (Ann Coulter at the University of Connecticut. Daniel Pipes, University of California-Irvine. Bill Krystol, University of  Texas. Star Parker, Penn State. David Horowitz, University of Emery. ) When challenged, liberals act like Muslims upset over a cartoon of Mohammed. Makes you wonder what they're so afraid of? I'm guessing "facts & logic".

Liberals believe we must have tolerance for an "artist" whose works include a painting of the Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung and a crucifix in a bottle of urine. The New York Times stated; “A museum is obliged to challenge the public as well as to placate it, or else the museum becomes a chamber of attractive ghosts, an institution completely disconnected from art in our time.”
 However, the Times has now decided that being disrespectful of Islam is apparently different than those exhibits stating about the recent movie about Islam; "Whoever made the film did true damage to the interests of the United States and its core principle of respecting all faiths."  Perhaps if the film were shown at the New York Metropolitan Museum, it would be "art". Then again, probably not.

Its easy to be a liberal. All you have to do is first, see everyone (except those you disagree with) as victims. Secondly, show tolerance for everything. (Again, except those you disagree with) Third, be open to every lifestyle, every act, every manner of living - hold no standards. Hey! It's a free-for-all! No standards, no judgement. Be exclusive. Don't tolerate disagreement. Allow emotion to dictate policy. Believe in the collective.

Conservatism is harder. There are rules. There are ideals. There are standards. There are constants. Logic outweighs infantile emotion.  Belief in the individual. Responsibility, personal and otherwise. While liberals describe compassion as how many people are on government assistance, conservatives describe compassion as to how many people don't need it. Conservatism is inclusive. We take all like minded members. We don't care, even former liberals. We don't shout down our opponents. We don't have to. Conservatism is...tolerant.

This post is not intended to annoy any of my liberal friends. I see you as an individual before I see you as an ideology. Perhaps that shows my tolerance. And in return, I ask only for the same.
