Dictionary.com defines tolerance as “a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry”.
We seem to be living in a world where the popular “buzz word” is tolerance. We as Americans (more specifically Americans of the LEGAL variety) are instructed by everyone from Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to Felipe Calderon….that we should be more tolerant of people coming into America illegally….because after all, they are just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. We shouldn’t care that this “better life”….(for people who broke the law in order to get here…and who are continuing to break our laws by staying here)…..is costing the people of the United States…..according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform….as much as $113 billion dollars a year…..
These liberal “champions of tolerance” are basically saying to anyone who opposes ILLEGAL immigration….…”Why don’t you stop being such a hater, and just be more tolerant”….and….“Where are your Christian principles….after all, what would Jesus do?” Keep in mind that while it’s perfectly fine for them to bring up Christianity and the name of Jesus while defending their stand on being pro-ILLEGAL immigration…..don’t YOU bring up the fact that you are a Christian….and don’t you mention the name of Jesus under ANY circumstance….because that of course will not be tolerated. For some reason…they seem to think that because they have proclaimed themselves as the tolerance police….that it’s perfectly fine for them to label those of us who speak out against ILLEGAL immigration as being intolerant racists. More and more it seems that in an ultra-tolerant, politically-correct society…where we don’t put labels on people who are just “different”…..the average citizen has no right to their own opinion….and a person who has an opinion that differs from the liberal point of view……can automatically be labeled as an intolerant racist, hate-monger.….and of course….they will no longer be tolerated. Don’t believe me? Look at the way that the LEGAL citizens of Arizona are being portrayed in the media…….You would think that everyone who drives their Grizwald-mobile into Arizona on vacation….is greeted at the state line by thousands of hillbillies in white hoods….holding nooses and burning crosses. The LEGAL citizens of Arizona are being portrayed as a bunch of racists, who are intolerant of those who are just “different”….And the whiney-baby liberals (led by the Obama administration) have made it clear….by filing a lawsuit against the State of Arizona….that the type of intolerance as laid out in Arizona’s SB1069 will simply not be tolerated. To recap…..if you are living in the United States legally…..and you disagree with ILLEGAL immigration on the grounds that it is ILLEGAL….your intolerance will no longer be tolerated.
If you’re still with me….then you’re probably a completely intolerant, right-wing, conservative, Christian racist……so why not continue with me to New York City. Here we see that a group of Muslims want to build a mosque just a few blocks away from the site of the World Trade Center attacks. Of course we know that the men who hijacked those planes and then intentionally crashed them into the World Trade Center on 9/11, killing over 2600 people……were all Irish-Catholics…..So what’s the problem with building a mosque? Those who support this reprehensible project would say….”Since Islam is a ‘religion of peace’…..why can’t you Christians find some peace and civility as well?” Those same people will argue that America is a nation of tolerance and that we have freedom of religion….and they would be correct. Well they would be correct…..unless it’s a Christian standing up for what THEY believe. Then you are just an ignorant, intolerant Muslim-hating Christian….. and we all know that will not be tolerated. Supporters of this mosque would have you believe that the location is just a coincidence…..that it just HAPPENED to be 3 blocks away from the attacks of 9/11 by a bunch of radical Islamic terrorists…..and that the scheduled dedication of that mosque….on the 10th anniversary of 9/11…..is merely a coincidence as well. (I actually heard a representative from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) make that statement in an interview on WFLA radio in Tampa, Florida). In other words….its ok to kill thousands of innocent people and then rub the citizens of New York City’s nose in it by building this mosque…..but it’s NOT ok for them to not be ok with it. (yeah....read that last sentence a few times.....it will make sense) The people of New York have to be tolerant of this shameful behavior by Muslims…..but their opposition will not be tolerated. Did I get that right?
Right about now some is saying (in a very annoying, high-pitched, whiney voice)….”Can’t we all just get along?”……and normally I would say "Sure". This time, I’m just not sure if we can. If you’re wondering if I am angry….(then obviously you aren’t paying attention)…..but to answer your query…”YES I AM”. I am tired of the media and the liberals of this country assuming that they have the market cornered on tolerance. (If you are in that group….first of all, you probably aren’t reading this….but just in case there are some stragglers….please lean forward and read these next few sentences very carefully)….You do NOT own rights to tolerance. You do NOT get to choose who has to be tolerant and who does not. You do NOT get to decide that my disapproval with things that are obviously wrong…makes me intolerant. You do NOT get to be intolerant of Christianity and the moral values that go along with it….while at the same time labeling me as intolerant of those whose way of life goes against my Christian principles. In short…..to quote 4-year-olds everywhere….”You’re not the boss of me”....with those wise words having been spoken.....let me make something perfectly clear…..As of right now....I will no longer tolerate your intolerance. Then Again….That’s Just Me
