I would argue that you are <i>the definition</i> of tolerant -- allowing to exist those with whom you utterly disagree.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-14773225862715506322018-08-04T00:10:08.467-07:002018-08-04T00:10:08.467-07:00I don't mind suspecting evil among the left an...I don't mind suspecting evil among the left and Obama supporters. If one presumes to assign all the other traits Craig lists as being possible for those folks, evil is a legitimate trait for them as well. It exists in all of us, of course. But supporting abortion as a "right" is evil. Period. Supporting sexual immorality to the extent it is codified in law is evil. Period. Leaving citizens defenseless, while coddling criminals is evil. Taking money from earners while giving it to those who waste their lives is evil. Pretending they're doing good by supporting these things is evil. I'm in tolerant of people who defend such things and find them to be less than equal to those who don't. (Not the same as inequality under the law.)Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-61911894441503105692018-08-03T02:57:42.094-07:002018-08-03T02:57:42.094-07:00Hmmm just like the people who find her cause.

I think people who uncritically supported P-BO or either Clinton are possibly; wrong, misguided, blindly partisan, or even stupid, but never evil. Clearly this level of vitriol isn’t new (look at the elections around 1800), but the level of anonymity and reach offered by the internet along with the veneer of legitimacy that come from sharing something make it different. <br /><br />Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149415942585847184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-7630004426173683952018-08-02T17:59:18.348-07:002018-08-02T17:59:18.348-07:00Craig, I was thinking the other day, "You kno...Craig, I was thinking the other day, "You know, I knew a lot of conservatives that thought perhaps Obama was the devil incarnate," but I don't think even they were as intolerant or vitriolic as today's "tolerant" left.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-48146725338873197522018-08-02T17:58:10.107-07:002018-08-02T17:58:10.107-07:00Anon, it is the end of meritocracy, where we hire ...Anon, it is the end of meritocracy, where we hire people who we think could do the job and assign people based on lack of wealth, are the proper gender, are not all white, and aren't too old.

She complains that congress is composed of too high a percentage of people who are:<br /><br />* wealthy<br />* male<br />* white<br />* old<br /><br />So it seems she yearns for equality of outcome of the voting process, not so much equality of the opportunity for running for office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
