Dims seem to be filled with double-standards. As was the recent scene outside the theater (I forget which one) that was PLANNING on showing "Stolen Honor." There were the Democrats, lined up and protesting the movie -- enough so that the theater cancelled the showing.

The message from the Dims being (best I could figure): We support free speech, but only when it's OUR free speech.

As you pointed out, most Dims only support tolerance of people who already share their views. The swift vets being one example of their intolerance, religion being another. I hear it out of them constantly: "I don't want someone in the White House who prays each time he makes a decision!" They say this with the same level of contempt you might use to say: "I don't want someone in the White House who strangles a kitten each time he makes a decision!"

I'm not even particularly religious, but "fear of religious people in general" (Religiophobia?) doesn't make much sense to me. Well, unless they're Moonies or Branch Davidians or something.

The "rich" are another group that seems to be the target of much Democratic hatred and intolerance as well. I guess the reasoning there being: hey, it's okay to attack the rich because they can hire lawyers if they really need to.

With all the hypocrisy and lying, it's hard to imagine how anyone who's deeper than a glass of water could call the Democratic party "home."

Be careful that you're not swallowing whole the media representations of those religions. Do the research and you'll find they're no more dangerous than Catholics...ooops...let me ask how many "Moonie" priests have been accused of raping boys?

Spielberg, Cameron, Stallone, et. al. are some of the wealthiest people in America. Why do they despise the other "rich"? My guess is they're uninformed and desire to be part of something, anything, that smacks of quasi-intellectual comrades they so sorely lack in their lives.
