Whatever your view, or opinion is on this "group", it is EXACTLY what tolerance is based on. If it Wasn't...tolerance would NOT be an issue. With that said, I am not comparing the 2 groups as equals. However, there are many, many people in the US that feel as strongly as YOU do about the white supremacist but towards the gay life style. Your likes or beliefs are not the issue, HOWEVER your ability to allow others THEIR opinions, whether you agree with it or not IS tolerance. But, as we ALL know....tolerance only goes 1 way, and that's the liberal democrat way.

I am actually in total agreement with you when it comes to the topic of tolerance....and furthermore i concur that lately 'tolerance' has seemed to be only pertinent to certain groups (eg it seems to only apply to gay right groups). Thus we have no argument when it comes to that ....even to the subject of finding the homosexual lifestyle abhorent. After all i find it rather decadent and rife with moral and spiritual decay....however i have to tolerate it (as a good citizen and erudite individual) even if i do not want it anywhere near me.

However my other point was that the so called 'White Supremacists' are another matter whatsoever! These are people who claim protection under the banner of 'tolerance and free speech' yet go ahead and show no tolerace whatsoever and try to stiffle even 'free life' among people of other races. To them being Black or Jewish or Asian or...... (fill in the blank) is something befitting verbal vitriol, physical beatings or even death! They claim that THEY should be tolerated when THEY themselves show no tolerance!

And although i truly detest GLAAD, the Rainbow Coalition and other gay rights groups i can easily tolerate them because when they pass through my community they at the very least do not go around calling people (even white people who do to agree with them) names and threatening the use of violence! 'Supremacist' groups on the other hand seem to have little acumen for civilized debate and thus often resort to sporadic unabated violence.

And i am very willing to tolerate those with different views from me .....that is not even a small problem for me. HOWEVER when people resort to violence and threats of violence, and commit acts of sheer atrocity, THEN i find it HARD to show any modicum of TOLERANCE towards them since THEY themselves have decided NOT to be tolerant themselves! I can tolerate their vitriolic language and even laugh at it (because i find it hilarious when a 40 something in dire financial straits and little education calls a 23 yr old African-American with an ivy education and an extremely favorable financial situation 'inferior'). Thus i can easily tolerate their silly rants! Just as i can tolerate the speech of gay activists ......and shamans saying we should all concentrate and call upon 'beams of light' to come 'uplift' us and take us to the 'sixth dimension.' All this is speech ...and thus whether i find it silly or ludicrous i can still go ahead and tolerate it (even as i laugh under my breath).

However when violence arises i stop tolerating the perpetrators! And this applies to everyone ....which means if the Democratic Party, GLAAD, the Local Sewing Club or any other groups started tying up people to wire fences and setting them on fire while they were still alive i would rapidly STOP showing any iota of tolerance to them. When people start dying my tolerance goes out the window. Just as i am not going to show any 'tolerance' to Usama and his murderous Jehadis i will also not show any tolerance to any person who claims 'superiority' and proceeds to drag another man i Texas and literally tear his limbs apart, or chain another in Oklahoma just to set him on fire! Tolerance does NOT apply to such animals (yes, i called them that ....at least the ones who decide beatings and killings are the way) Instead of tolerance what they deserve is PRISON TERMS!

And i am not intolerant ....i am just not willing to let murderous actions pass by saying 'i will be tolerant.' Honestly i do not care if they marched or not ...it does not affect me in anyway or form. Actually i find it hilarious seeing grown men in Walmart sheets claiming to be 'superior' yet having nothing whatsoever to feel superior about! To me it is a joke ...and i can easily tolerate that. However when people start getting beaten up and even killed; or at the very least subjected to threats and violent insinuations .....then i stop tolerating and start getting angry. And seeking legal channels to lock such animals behind bars.

And just in the same way i am not willing to be tolerant of Usama and try to 'understand' him for killing several thousand Americans in cold blood i will also not be willing to be tolerant of Timothy McVeigh and try to 'understand' him for killing several hundred Americans in his quest to fulfill the supremacist writings of the Turner Diaries!

And should GLAAD start killing people or even beating them up i will also cease to be tolerant of them .....and that applies to any group or affiliation. Even my friends and family members! I am very understanding and tolerant ....but start hurting others and the game's up!

And that is what i was trying to elucidate in my post no. 56.
