You hit the nail on the head with Sheen! His talks are as pertinent today as they were when first broadcast during the Cold War.

AMEN! (From this Protestant!!)


"A Plea For Intolerance" (1931)
 
Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.
 Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth.
 
America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not.
It is suffering from tolerance.
Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.
Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.

Excellent choice of quote, Elsie! Compassion kindness, and empathy are one thing, and are good; tolerance today doesn't mean that anymore. It is now rather an expected embrace, even applause, by our nation of so much that goes against what God teaches, and what our country was founded upon, it's going to ruin us as it did empires before.

Here's an example: our new 10 dollar bill is supposed to be changed: why, I don't know. The push is for a woman. How much do you want to bet that it's going to be Margaret Sanger? A woman both directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of so many innocents- and is honored by feminists as some sort of heroine...

Sheen was quite an amazing man.
