'Civility' and 'Tolerance'

Another Reason I Prefer Respect to 'Tolerance'

"They told us if Barack Obama were elected, the nation would come together. Souls would be fixed. Spirits would be healed. Public discourse would be elevated. Welcome to civility and tolerance in the Age of Obama" - Michelle Malkin

Today Michelle Malkin Comments [click to read] on the particularly vile bashing of beauty queen contestant Carrie Prejean, simply because she politely expressed her belief in the traditional definition of marriage. If only one viewpoint is 'acceptable' why did the interviewer even bother to ask?

Ms. Malkin goes on to document how the left allows threats of violence and intimidation of campus speakers who don't toe the 'politically correct' line. She then turns her attention to the so-called 'mainstream' journalists who turned to juvenile potty language in their reporting of the Tea Party protests.

Ms. Malkin has done a masterful job of describing the left's thuggish tactics for establishing a leftist secular culture in our national dialogue.
