Intolerance masquerading as Tolerance - - bump
Not being one, how do you really know how a liberal thinks or defines things? Perhaps that’s just how you interpret it?
Saving the article. Thanks for posting.
Racism:
a. MLK: Man should be judged by the content of his character and not the color of his skin.
b. Affirmative Action: Man should be judged by the color of his skin and not the content of his character.
Pick ONE.
It has been my experience, over 4+ decades of life, that people who are nowadays calling themselves "liberals" want nothing of the sort - nothing at all to do with actual liberty and freedom. What so-called "liberals" actually want (at least as evidenced by the things they advocate) is more closely aligned with what we used to call fascism (with the liberal ideal replacing the nation-state) brought to you via totalitarianism.
The author ought to include ‘Fascist’because Liberals love casting that in your face.
If they actually knew what it meant they'd cringe.... Liberals could not be more like Nazis themselves, both in their thinking AND in their political style.... Yes, there IS such a thing as 'political style' and theirs is definately FASCIST
Very Excellent.
Good post. Saving.
Excellent! Bookmarked.

To liberals, being "open-minded" also means that one "does not judge." To liberals, casting judgement on something or someone is avoided because the act implies a level of goodness, a standard of excellence. Liberals abhor having to live up to standards.
Liberals are always open-minded when it comes to other schools of though, ways of life, and cultures. Ironically, they are close-minded to anything western, Christian, and particularly American.
"Don't judge that long-term unemployed person, because you don't know what they've been through!"
"Don't bad-mouth that culture...they have some of the most sustainable and green lifestyles!"
The left thinks they should be able to set up a virtual city in a private park, shut down traffic, destroy property, chant idiotic slogans, play drums all night while the police stand by and do nothing, and declare it "free speech".
But let a private citizen owner of a privately owned corporation express a personal opinion, a opinion held by a majority of fellow citizens, and the left demands marshaling the power of government to destroy this verbal tyrant.
I saw Larry King ask Peter Jennings whether he thought liberals were “tolerant”. To which, Peter Jennings replied that liberals tolerate people who agree with them. Neither one of them batted an eye or thought anything odd about such a statement. I’ve seen it expressed that exact way before and after. To which I reply to the tolerant liberal “Even Nazis tolerate people who agree with them. Liberals are no more tolerant than Nazis”.

We might expand that to include a discussion of fairness in terms of equality. By this I mean to liberals, "fairness" means the equality of results, whereas to conservatives, "fairness" means equality of opportunity.
This is why we struggle with judicial activism. A liberal would have a judge read law creatively to ensure an equality was achieved in a particular case, whereas a conservative would have a judge read a law simply and let the chips fall where they may.
