Tolerance?

Maxine

The rhetoric on the left is dangerous.  They are demonizing conservatives, harassing and cursing Republican leaders, threatening women and children of conservative leaders, protesting and screaming at their homes, and shouting down conservative speakers.  Some have called those of us who voted for President Trump NAZIS!  Now, they are brazenly inciting violence against rank and file employees of ICE and Homeland Security!  Some Democrat leaders have actually called upon their followers to act this way.

The Democratic Party may claim they are the party of inclusiveness, yet they are the most intolerant people in the United States and now they are inciting violence.  Most of this despicable conduct has, strangely enough, been against Republican women and their children and they call us deplorable.  To make things even worse, the mainstream media is unabashedly cheering on all of this reprehensible behavior.

Frequently, we hear the left using the word “fascist” when screaming.  According to vocabulary.com, “A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions.”

So, isn’t it the left who shouts down conservative speakers and is not tolerant of opposing opinions?

We can disagree on policy and having spirited debates is a foundation of our democracy.  Peaceful protests make your point but screaming at people shuts down discussion.  Most conservatives did not agree with many of Obama’s policies, yet Republicans didn’t throw people in his administration out of restaurants or shout down liberal speakers.  We voted for someone new.  That is the American way.

So I say to you hateful, narrow-minded, bullying people–Shame on You!  Continuing on this path is very dangerous for our country.  Someone will be hurt.
