Why do liberals preach tolerance, yet practice intolerance?
Your premise is based too much on trying to portray Rush as benign. He is far from benign. On his early days in radio, he was openly intolerant of the rights of others. His open plan was to eliminate liberals save for a few to be kept in universities to be studied like lab animals in cages. That's right. Rush promoted the elimination of liberals. Some shocker, eh? Go back to reading Forbes magazine articles and leave adult thinking to adults. No adult here views Rush with sympathy!
Why are liberals only tolerant of you when you agree with them?
that's because there very mean people, they only like each other, everyone else is on there list and will end up against the wall when there revolution happens. they only like you if your actually a member of there wacky communist world that they call liberalism. its basically a political cult that's ultimates goal is communism if your part of there liberal church then your one of them otherwise your on the outside looking in. liberalism is a church, they have there hero's, there books, there stories, the liberal songs, there no different from most other religions. there members share the same traits of being pathological lairs, bigots, hypocrites, two faced etc.... its how there raised and trained in the liberals Churches.
How come liberals preach tolerance but are intolerant themselves?
You mean how they've treated Bill Cosby vs Bill Clinton? You mean they preach Women's rights and are willing to vote for a woman who not just protected her husband once by besmirching the character of the women who claimed he sexually assaulted them but did it numerous times. You mean the same White Liberals that feel comfortable calling someone like Larry Elder an Uncle Tom or treating Sarah Palin like she's a dog? Need I go on? There are so so many more! Remember it's mostly the White Liberals that are the most intolerant in the oh so many Rich Liberal Areas of our Country. Oh I thought that only Republicans were the only ones that were rich, but 56% of the rich are actually Liberal. Now that's the dirty little secret.
Are conservatives or liberals more tolerant?
To answer this question honestly, one would need to propose what is meant by "diversity."If you're talking about racial/ethnic diversity, and further, meaning just the "right" mixture of White, Black, Asian, Native American, etc., then I would say that at the surface, the answer is that self-described conservatives tend to be less embracing of phenotypic diversity. It's not quite that simple, as stated versus revealed preferences - in this case, where one chooses to live at a sub-census tract level, the schools one attends - I think might show that there is not terribly much difference.If you're talking, however, about intellectual, political, economic, or philosophical diversity, I would say that the results are much, much less mixed. Look at how, for example, the "liberal" city of New York votes, or San Francisco. Politically, Manhattan or Marin County, California vote overwhelmingly in one direction. The upper West Side of Manhattan votes more predictably "liberal" than say, suburban Dallas, Texas does. Make no mistake, the two are reliably Democratic and Republican, respectively, but the pluralities are eye-popping in some cases in ostensibly "liberal" precincts.Intellectually, there was quite a brouh-ha-ha at, of all places, Harvard a couple of years ago. Harvard, the premier university in the US, should be a model of open discussion of ideas. But when a self-described conservative asked why so few fellow travellers were at Harvard - hinting (without evidence, to be fair) that there may be some biases at play - he was met with comments that conservative students in fact should not feel welcome at Harvard, and the Crimson even suggested that such students perhaps should go elsewhere. I've known equal numbers of hard-core progressives and hard-core conservatives. This is anecdotal, of course, but my own personal experiences are that the distribution of willingness to listen - rather than simply ridicule and dismiss - opposing ideas is not terribly different in the two groups.
