Sure. Then I'll form my opinion. If they were shouting him down and shutting him down because he was having an intolerant View then they have their right to do so. Intolerant views like racism or sexism should not be tolerated.
No, they were being violent towards attendees, and police. Police had to shut him down to security concerns.
It seems like you're more saying that those who are intolerant tend to be conservative, rather than necessarily saying that conservatives "by design" are intolerant. For the latter (your initial statement) to be true, conservatism by it's very nature must by definition include intolerance, which I don't believe to be true. Also, I think it's important to differentiate between fiscal and social conservatism
Fair enough. Social conservatism is probably something I will fight tooth and nail for the rest of my days.
Also, I think you play a little fast and loose with the term "intolerant". For instance, I personally believe that heterosexual relationships are inherently more right than homosexual ones, but don't believe that there should be laws necessarily codifying that. Does that make me intolerant?
That's hilarious. Jesus never did anything violent. As a matter of fact you turn the other cheek too those were violent to him. Most conservative Christians don't subscribe to anything Jesus subscribed to. Who did Jesus charge for food? Who did Jesus charge for healthcare? The lady simply touched the Hem of His Garment and was healed for free. She had a flow of blood for 12 years... Conservative Christians (this will probably ruffle some feathers) are not real Christians in my opinion. They're Calvinists.
I still don't know what that means....el prez is the first I heard use it....I thought it meant urban Asian American Blazer fan who misses Oregon
Jesus also wasn't a government entity. Jesus preached for people to behave the way he did, not to make the government do so. He preached personal repentance, not government reformation.
Yes it does. What if your child said they were gay? You'd have to just accept it or be out of their lives. See people throw around this word tolerance all the time. "I'm tolerant of the gays..." No... You simply have to accept them because there's no changing them.
See, that's where you and I differ. I believe that it's possible to believe someone is wrong in their choices, and still tolerate both the person and their choice. In fact, that is the very definition of tolerance.
