Tolerance Is Not A Moral Precept.

This is a thorough once-over giving the lie to the "conservatives'" self-serving bullshit squealing that "Butbutbutbutbut if you don't tolerate my intolerance you're a hypocrite!" The short version, as put forth in the article, is this: tolerance is a peace treaty, not a suicide pact.

Put another way, it's social technology, just like laws. It allows us, in an ever-more-connected global society, to exist and function. Like a treaty it covers those, and only those, who are party to it.

This means that if you're a genocidal fucking psychopath then no, Virginia, we do not have to "tolerate" your unhinged ramblings. You are cancer in the body politic. You have gleefully ripped your human card to shreds and dropped the pieces in an incinerator, cackling like a hyena on PCP at how you have "owned the libs." You have placed yourselves outside the treaty. We are not obligated to put up with your shit.

tl;dr: if you can't behave like a civilized human being, don't be surprised when you get treated like a rabid animal. Read and be better, or don't, it's your choice, but don't bitch when you get your find-outs.

    Utter bullshit. Progressives no longer want "racial equality". You need to go back and look at what they are calling for today. 70 years ago, segregation was a bad thing - today segregation is a good thing. Liberals, and even more, progressives, have made a complete 180 degree turn away from racial equality. They don't want equal treatment in hiring, or education, or much of anything else. Let an Asian get a scholarship ahead of a black person, and all hell breaks loose.

    Me? I'm all for racial equality. Have you looked at the demographics today, of people buying firearms, many of them for the first time? Blacks, Asians, gays, females in droves. They understand that although God created man, Sam Colt made men equal.

    Meanwhile, 'Zumi posts a link to a story that says you should dehumanize me. Cool. You go along with that. You're happy with it..

    Don't tell me about equality - progressives don't want anything that resembles equality.

    As for grooming children - what race do groomers belong to?
