I've been a tolerant person during my life. Maybe it was the way I was raised, or maybe my experience, but tolerance for new ideas, and things, was how I rolled.
I've lost that. I think it's because too many new ideas cost me money, or are an affront to my morals; and those with "innovative" opinions are as crazy as shit house rats.
So, I find myself avoiding even family members that are Liberal/Progressive/Socialist. They don't realize the supposedly innovative ideas they embrace killed millions, and destroyed the economies of countries the size of the United States. Their ignorance only shows they'd rather trade liberty for a free meal.
Many have a good heart, and no ability to critically evaluate a scheme.
ReplyDeleteWhat Ed said, although many are simply jacka%%es and best left in the rear view mirror. I do try to separate the person from their ignorance. BTW, some of the most ignorant are the best educated.
ReplyDeleteI know they have a good heart, but so did the millions of Germans, Russians, Chinese, Cambodians....the list is long. Their ignorance, and herd mentality, led to horrible deaths, and the removal of liberty.
ReplyDeleteProgressive theory is the work of evil. Those that prescribe to the theory are more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
I agree with you. I'm not nearly as worried about tolerating others as I used to be, largely because of the hateful rhetoric and actions being directed at people like me.
ReplyDeleteI might be wrong, but if it ever hit the fan, I have a feeling some members of my family would not be on my side, help those that want my liberty, and would never feel the least bit upset about their actions.
