I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and provide for my child; whom I teach to be courteous, respect his elders, be a hard worker, have respect for all of humankind as well as the earth, and not to 'cram' his opinions and beliefs down other people's throats.

Sounds like you don't have a problem cramming your opinions down you kid's throat. Granted, you have that right, since it's your kid, but you have to admit the irony.

You can choose to live whatever life you want, and take whatever actions you like, but just because you do something doesn't make it moral. If your kid grew up to be rude, disrespectful of eleders, unemployed, intolerant, and non-environmentally friendly, would you still consider that life a moral one? Why not? Your kid might. And who would you be to judge another adult's actions?

The problem isn't with her argument for tolerance. Its one every one formally subscribes to. No, the problem is her hypocrisy. You see, liberals make a big show of open-mindedness but they never get around to practicing what they preach. Hey, its a mindset I AM sick and tired of since its not really about imposing one's beliefs on others; its that you don't want to accord others' views the same hearing you give to your own. 'Nuff said.
