tolerance

Something the liberals strive for as long as it's not for conservatives, especially white male Christian conservatives. One of the big double standards for the left.
These liberals try to preach tolerance for everything, but when a conservative complains about any liberal's beliefs, they go hostile on him! In a word, hypocrisy.

3) Tolerance (liberal): What the majority should have towards minorities, but not vice versa
1) "Bigots" lack tolerance or appreciation of our people, which makes them despicable
2) Bigots would have more tolerance if they just hung around more of our people
3) Those damn, horrible hateful bigots should all be shot dead by us tolerant, peace-loving non-bigots... um, as a service to society, of course.

tolerance

Originally a beautiful thing but it has been perversely cheapened by the intolerant left.
The left needs to learn tolerance instead of using the word to brainwash and mold everyone into accepting their intolerant way of thinking.Liberals tried to 'force' tolerance which isn't a very tolerant thing to do.
