What does it say that fox news is nicer to me than the lefties are
What does it say that the Conservatives are nicer to me? It's a bezier world mam. It's such a bizarre world.
You know, I'm such a lefty
I mean, I'm a serious lefty but there's so I understand why people on the right call them godless them
I mean, it's like I didn't think the left was as mean as the right they are
Tolerance it's a word we hear a lot these days. So let's define it
Tolerance is the ability to live with people whose opinions and behavior
You don't agree with that's essentially how Oxford defines it how merriam-webster defines it and how we as a society
Have always defined it you might be for the death penalty and your cousin might be against it
You might be against a $15 minimum wage and your coworker might be for it
Your dad might have voted for Trump. Your mom might have voted for Clinton and your brother may not have voted at all
Whatever differences we have
tolerating others opinions is a
prerequisite to a functioning and free society
America itself was built on a foundation of tolerance the Declaration of Independence
guarantees us life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
But there is an implicit contract there to have your life your liberty and your pursuit of happiness
You have to be tolerant of somebody else's life their liberty and their pursuit of happiness
This contract though seems to be breaking down
If you listen to the mainstream media only one side is living up to this deal the left
The right according to the media is intolerant of everyone except those darned white heterosexual
Christian males, there's only one problem. It's just not true
incredibly the left isn't even tolerant of the very people they say they're tolerant of if
You're gay or black or an immigrant and you're not in lockstep with current leftist orthodoxy
You know exactly what I'm talking about
If you believe we should judge people on the content of their character and not the color of their skin
The left cause racist it you believe that America is a nation of immigrants
But that our country should also protect its borders
The left calls you a xenophobe if you believe that men and women are equal but fundamentally different the left calls you sexist
here's the thing those who only tolerate people they agree with or like
Aren't actually tolerant. So who is tolerant?
Is it the organizers of the women's March who had to apologize for the hurt and confusion they caused when they invited a man
lefties' icon Bernie Sanders to speak at their convention?
Is it the antifa thugs who caused UC Berkeley to spend six hundred thousand dollars on security when mainstream
Conservative Ben Shapiro showed up to give a talk or is a democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters
Who scolded Kanye West for talking out of turn?
When he dared suggest that blacks should think for themselves? These aren't isolated
examples, I'm guessing that you person watching this right now have silenced yourself because you don't want to suffer the wrath of the
outraged mob
So let me ask the question again
who is
Tolerant. Well, here's the surprise. It's actually those scary
Right-wingers that the media and the universities demonize every day. I speak from personal
Experience maybe I'm a glutton for punishment here
but I still consider myself a liberal and it's my duty as a
Liberal to say what I think I would rather stand for what I believe and be hated then bow down and be loved
The left sadly has become utterly intolerant of anyone with whom they disagree
Why? Because they believe that they know how you should live and how you should think any
deviation any
nonconformity is dangerous to that goal
Believe it or not the right these days actually
welcomes diversity of thought I can tell you that in the last few years of my political evolution
I've consistently found conservatives to be tolerant and open-minded
Don't take my word for it though. Test it out for yourself
Go talk to some they do exist and they do things like watch movies travel any eat, ethnic food
You know regular people things
You know what
I found out the right much more than the left believes in the notion of live and let live and
That ladies and gentlemen is the true definition of tolerance. I'm Dave Rubin of the Reuben report for Prager University
