Conservatives often use the word "tolerant" as a weapon against non-conservatives, but I dont see a whole lotta tolerance from much of anybody on this site.
Let someone call themselves a "tolerant liberal" before you call them one in sarcasm.
As is with the racism and bigotry that defined the history of American Conseravtism it was Liberal INtolerance of it that brought justice and liberty to America's minorities.
Liberals intolerant? Our Freedom Depends on it!

Thank you. That question is long over due. Democrats and Liberals have been letting Conservatives and Republicans walk all over them for years without any kind of response. Now that they are sick and tired of being doormats, they are fighting back - as they should have years ago.

I don't feel very tolerant.
If I had a choice I would not tolerate Bush any longer.
I won't tolerate the government invading my freedom with Patriot Act.
I won't tolerate the scare tactics that the current government is using to keep Americans under their control.
On and on and on.

Being tolerant of differences of speech, expression, religion, ideas, race, gender, and sexual preference is OK - the Constitution protects that part in the first amendment.
However, if anyone, anyone infringes upon your personal liberty (life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness), there should be NO tolerance. The Constitution will back you up on that. You should not tolerate anyone infringing upon your personal liberty.

What a wonderful question. Religion is, of course, the form that one's worship takes. Thus there are thousands of forms. Religion includes a system of religious beliefs and practices. The object of the religion may be false gods or the true God. Hence, there is false religion and there is true. Religion can get very fancy or remain simple. In the former case, such as it is today. In the latter case, such as it was in the Garden of Eden. What then is worship to me? How do I worship? To worship means to obey. And to obey means to worship. The two are intimately connected; indeed, they are coterminous and cannot be separated. Specifically, to obey the Sovereign Lord God Jehovah of Armies is to worship Him. I do my imperfect best in this regard. I fall on my face and get back up to try and try again. In the Garden of Eden, so long as they obeyed Jehovah, Adam and Eve were worshiping him. No temple, no Mosaic Law, no meetings. Simply leave the tree of the knowledge of good and bad alone. Simple. The minute they disobeyed, they stopped worshiping Jehovah. Same with the nation of Israel. The minute they attempted to practice a syncretistic religion they stopped worshiping Jehovah. The minute they made the golden calf, they stopped. And on and on. To worship is to obey. To obey is to worship. Hannah J Paul

Liberals are much more tolerant of alternative lifestyles, religion, and many other things.
I love seeing the republicans finally waking up and seeing their president for what he his. Intolerable.

Republicans now want to play at being hard done by and victimised..If they could they would call themselves a religion and get legal protection..so noone could question them.

Its just like the 'all Muslims are radical' BS.
Plenty of non-racists kept quiet back in the day when blacks were being lynched.

I agree that liberals usually aren't tolerant. They shouldn't have to be. Isn't it enough that they expect everyone else to be tolerant of their views, why should they have to be tolerant too?
