Is tolerance and respect a two way street?

[Hutch Starskey]

Liberals are constantly screaming at us that we must be tolerant and respectful of: muslims, transsexuals, tree huggers, algore worshipers, globalists, illegal aliens, and all other forms of deviation and illegality.

So, lets ask:

are muslims tolerant and respectful of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc? Are there churches and synagoges in muslim countries? does sharia law treat non muslims with tolerance and respect?

Do the sexual deviants tolerate and respect those who find their lifestyles offensive?

Do the global warmers and vegans tolerate and respect the views of those who disagree with them?

Did the rioters at Berkley tolerate and respect the views of the conservative speakers scheduled to speak there?

Do those who want open borders tolerate and respect the views of those who want controls on immigration?

I don't see any tolerance and respect from the left while they demand it from everyone else.

Comments?

Nice qualifier.
In North America?
In Europe?
In Australia?

Your attempt to generalize and smear is weak at best.

All dems would like from Republicans is REASON Be reasonable and we have a better chance of getting along and making America greater

the dems were invited to participate in the healthcare debate and refused to participate. Is that being reasonable?

Liar!
Link?

Well, God would probably say it does not matter, all he asks is that you show respect for others and you are the one who is always forgiving....whether the other person is or not, matters naught.

Turn your cheek, forgive 70 times 70, do unto others as you would want them to do unto you....

no matter what lack of respect the other person gives you

Take that little verse to Berkley and try and tell all your fellow progs that they should abide by that... see what happens.

Not a single liberal I know believes that. They're ALL shrill, intolerant, arrogant, mouthy people, ready to spit like a camel spewing their intolerance if you dare disagree with them.

I've read only what was in the title and a skim, very quick skim of the first few paragraphs.... And what I wrote, is what popped in to my head....and was compelled to write.

I don't know what is happening in Berkley...and skipped all of that, I'm sorry....I'll go back and read what the numskulls are doing...

No it's not reasonable but I'm sure it follows much unreasoning by Republicans 8 years under Obama and republicans were reasonable? The point is it's got to start somewhere and both parties must give an inch

I guess you forgot what Obama said shortly after he was elected

"elections have consequences"
"we won"
"republicans can move to the back of the bus"

He started this shit and you dems backed him.

I agree that both sides need to forget their parties and do what is needed for the country. The dems need to accept that Trump won and Hillary lost.

And did you conveniently forget what McConnell said about Obama?? And yes trump won and look at all the shit he's brought with him His own party knows he's an AH Gov'ts around the world know it Seems like the only ones who don't are his base who would follow him into hell

 

[my2¢]

I see tolerance as a one way street. A person (in general) can control only their own actions.

that is false. the Dems were specifically excluded. only the republicans on the committee were allowed to see the bills. then they were handed the bills hours before the vote. mcconnel didn['t want them scored or publicized because they were so garbage. this one is from April. but it never got better.

GOP shuts out doctors, experts, Democrats — pretty much everybody — as they work on Obamacare repeal

 

[The Original Tree]

No it isn't a two way street. The Left wants to hold you to it's own set of rules, while holding themselves to NO RULES.
This is how they rig the game.
This is straight out of their Satanic Political Rule Book, Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals".

You do a couple things that conservatives do nearly constantly. One you mash everything under the sun into one pot and try to make an 'everything' stew. All these things are separate, some simple some not. You can't mash them all together. Second, you use the false equivalency to try to portray all things as 'opinion' and all opinion is just as valid as all other opinion. It isn't. You can have an opinion that the world is flat, you can believe it with all your heart, and someone else the opinion that the world is round. Both entitled to their opinoin? Of course. Equivalent opinions? Not by a million miles. One is utterly ridiculous and to be ridiculed and dismissed, the other is supported by evidence. Unfair, mean, intolerant of the Flat Earth opinion? Yes, for good reason.

One of the main problems with discussion using text - It carries no nuance, no tone of voice or very little anyway. And because all posts LOOK the same graphically there is a tendency to give them equal weight in fact and conclusion. It's like looking at a script for a movie.

'Chief Brody looks up and sees a huge shark near the back of the boat. He remarks "you're going to need a bigger boat". ' View this brief text as if you haven't seen the movie. Does that even come close to conveying what you actually see on screen or the emotion or impact of that moment in the film? Not by a million miles. 'It's night, Brody scans the dark ocean, a shooting star is seen moving across the sky behind Brody's head'. What emotion is carried in this text? Or impact? Nearly none, but in the film it is a visceral moment with great impact.

Pick one thing and make an argument about it one way or the other.

Berkley is simply the poster college for INTOLERANCE. If the poor little fascist progs find out a conservative has been invited to speak at their school, i.e. Ann Coulter, they RIOT like the good little TOLERANT LIBERALS they are. It's pathetic.

But it's not just Berkley, we see this ALL OVER with leftists, including here.

That's just nonsense, the left is extremely tolerant as long as you unconditionally agree with their orthodoxy and do everything they say, they'll tolerate you.

And republicans are so tolerant and respectful ??? You gotta be kidding me

But we tolerated Obama and his socialist ways.

Are liberals given a chance to express their views? Does the media give equal time to both sides?

YOU gotta be kidding ME.

sometimes there aren't two sides. in fact, I think that allowing another side in certain areas that are patently false does us a disservice.

for example, no... there is no appropriate side that should be able to advocate to deny equal rights to all of us. there is no "side" that should be allowed to say that abortion causes cancer or any of the other stupid things that propagandists like to make up.

same as there is no side that should be able to say that gays are child molesters. I'm pretty sure we can all agree child molesters are bad. but attributing the trait to gays is false.

so no, there is no other "side" to certain things..... like the fact that we are contributing to climate change and can do some things to control it -- even if it hurts the koch brothers' fossil fuel interests.

Yeah he was more like a commie, but his FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION of America ran into some problems... namely... AMERICANS.

Another whitey whine, oh it is so horrible how you all have been treated. Oh those bad lefties are not respecting me. Life is too complicated for the right wing American. Check out who is targeted by hate crimes sometime.

Make America white again: Opinion | The Policies of White Resentment

How can someone as white as you are, be so intolerant of white people?

Isn't that like dividing by zero or something?

he's not intolerant of white people.

he's intolerant of bigots.... you know, like you.

A white person suffering from a self-imposed bigotry against white people? That's seriously fucked up.

But then, I suppose there were Jews who supported Hitler and blacks who wanted to join the Klan.

And one of those Jews is now a Liberal Billionaire who thinks he is a God. Not one 99% went after George and his 1% status. Fucking liberals are hypocrites.



Nazi Collaborator George Soros Announces Muslims are the New Jews

There's no point in talking about "new lows" when it comes to George Soros, a Nazi collaborator from a self-described anti-Semitic Jewish family, who has spent the time since the Holocaust wreaking havoc on the countries that defeated his Nazi masters while trying to also do as much damage to the Jews as possible.

Soros does most of his dirty work through a vast convoluted network of non-profits that make the Clinton Foundation look like a pawn shop next to Amazon.com.

Forcing everyone to pay for shitty healthcare wanting it to lead to single payer. Yes, he was a socialist.

Comments?

you've probably never been around anyone who wasn't white and christian.

I've never had a problem with my neighbors whether they're muslim, or christian or black or jewish. most of the Russians are pretty ok, too although some of them are nasty as all get out.

see... that's what you learn when you don't surround yourself only with people just like you.

and maybe if you weren't busy calling all Muslims terrorists, they'd be nicer to people like you too.

you know nothing about me, but yet you make conclusions, very typical of the left.

for the record. I worked and lived in the mid east for years, I know the arab and muslim cultures much better than you ever will. I have gay and black, and Hispanic friends and relatives and love and respect all of them.

the point of the OP is to address the hypocrisy of the left who continually show intolerance and disrespect while demanding that others practice it.

how much do you know about the people you insult on a daily basis?

I can only go by the things you say on the board. and the things you say on the board make you seem insular and hate-filled. just saying. if I'm wrong, I apologize. but that IS what happens when people make assumptions.

thing is, I didn't just work around a group of people for a year... I live around all kinds of people.

by people I insult on a daily basis do you mean bigots? people who think it's ok for someone to be president who is not competent and possibly not sane just because they think it spites the other side of the aisle? or is it the people who think they can take rights away from me and from my friends and who think it's ok for cops to shoot young black men for no reason? or are we talking about the people who so hate this country that they don't care what occurred in the trump campaign with Russia?

I feel the same way about those things as I feel about the kkk freak on the board who spends all day posting things that are more appropriate for stormfront as I do for people on the far left and far right who post anti-semitic garbage all day every day.

seriously... tell me where I'm wrong about those impressions (and you know the ones that don't apply to you because I made it clear who they are directed at?

and then answer this? does it matter what I have to say if anything I say gets ignored by someone who curses at me or calls me a "slut" for not being to the left of axilla the hun or who calls me, a very proud mom who very much wanted the child she had when she had him, a murderer because I don't want religious zealots taking away women's control over their own bodies?

I apologize for how stupid you are....

Are you claiming to be better than a Muslim nation? If so then you'd better be more tolerant, more open and less bigoted.

You complain that others aren't respectful of you. I guessed you missed the last 20 years of right wing hate radio, where you were fed lies and distortions about liberals, and liberal government.

Your country has fared far better economically under liberal fiscal policies than conservative. Liberals didn't crash the economy - twice. Twice Democrats handed Repulicans a balanced budget and twice Republicans cut taxes, spent like drunken sailors, waged unnecessary and expensive wars, and created more poverty, more unemployment, and stagnant wages.

Since Trump was elected, hate crimes have doubled and tripled over the years prior to his candidacy. Not one tweet from the White House about that.

That you refer to gays as "sexual deviants" shows the level of tolerance you have which is to say - none.

You can't claim liberals are intolerant when you aren't tolerant of liberals. You have to lead by example. If you aren't willing to be an example of tolerance and inclusiveness, then you're part of the problem.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Why be tolerant of what you believe is wrong?

so your beliefs are always right and no one else has the right to think otherwise.

You make my point every day on this message board. You are the poster child of intolerant leftists.

You can think any stupid, wrong, reprehensible thing you want.
