Who said I was tolerant? I won't go into my views here, cause I'll get banned, and piss off a lot of people that I respect(don't worry, you're not among that group).
You're arguing with the wrong Democrat. I don't vote the party line. I'm pro-choice, pro-gun, pro-death penalty, anti-war, pro-troops, pro-socialized healthcare, a fiscal conservative, an educational federalist, anti-immigration, and a welfare reformist.
Wanna know why I vote Democrat on national tickets? Because they do a better job, period. On the local level, I occasionally vote Republican or independent, because they do a better job managing small government.
EDIT, I'm also anti-affirmative action. There need to be standards, but quotas aren't the way to do it.
