Intolerance, I do not understand it. Why it exists, what is the point. A person would not vote for a better canidate because their skin is a different color??, or they are a different gender??, or they are Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim, or Buddhist.

I do not understand it, it makes no sense. Maybe I will just have to become a biased person myself. If everyone else can be intolerant, well guess what, so can I. I am now officially intolerant of the all the ism's and ists.. the sexists, the racists the culturalists ,

So to all you brain dead yelling at Palin and McCain campaigns showing your idiocy for the entire world. Yes you are showing the world, how stupid you are!!




I don't want to sit next to you.

I don't want to live next to you.

I don't want to work with you.

I don't want you around my only son, my husband my mother, my family or friends.

I don't want to share a taxi with you.

I don't want to hear your point of view.



:rant:

1. Did you just read my mind?
It's like you are channeling my head, right down to the "only son, husband, mother." Are you me?

4. There is such a thing as too much tolerance.
I don't tolerate racists and bigots and bullies.

9. If you've ever been exposed to hard core rightwing assholes
the only thing surprising about this shit is that it took them so long to let their real feelings out.

14. Maybe that is it, I choose my friends, my coworkers are
moderates, I am a UCC, I live in Iowa, and this stuff happening at the republican rallies looks like a different country to me. I can not identify with these people in any way. It sounds like one of those old ww2 rallies for hitler.

6. I'm with you. I've begun saying "I am not tolerant of intolerance"...
and the condescending arrogance that goes with the intolerance "isms."

10. peace, I hate the lady.
If it comes to violence with a McCain-Palin motherfucker, so be it. I'm ready to swing. Sounds sophomoric, but I'm sick of the shit.

11. Condem, I could not believe how she was jinning
up those crowds. Granted they are willingly being horses patoots, yelling out those things but she is leading the parade in patoots.

Nothing more. It's not working. This is when they get desperate. We're not going to back down.
