Like I'm supposed to have a Democratic Party gene in the DNA or something...please.<br /><br />On most issues I'm liberal, on some I'm libertarian (e.g. I am pro drug legalization)...under some circumstances to do like smaller government (but government should also be effective.)<br /><br />I've voted for Dems, Greens, and even a Republican occasionally (Repubs in Illinois are somewhat reasonable, for the most part anyway).Chitown Kevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-46492738384282939772009-12-31T02:11:06.455-06:002009-12-31T02:11:06.455-06:00"Tolerance" certainly isn't this pos..."Tolerance" certainly isn't this positive feel good attribute that some make it out to be. "Tolerance can function as a substitute for or as a supplement to formal liberal equality or liberty; it can also overtly block the pursuit of substantive equality and freedom." From Karen Brown's Regulating Aversion. As long as people are "tolerant", true equality gets put on the back burner.kmhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283485492373508750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-18883697202487762862009-12-31T01:47:44.954-06:002009-12-31T01:47:44.954-06:00I love you!!!I love you!!!Tendaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931299255955955856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-25153937653356780452009-12-30T21:49:48.995-06:002009-12-30T21:49:48.995-06:001.

The "aren't you liberals supposed to be tolerant" comment sounds so much to me like people of white privilege getting mad about poc calling them "racist". <br /><br />"You're a racist for playing the race card and calling me out on my racism". <br /><br />So sick of hateful turds telling people (particularly those who they regularly step and shat on) how to be meek, accepting, and tolerant. <br />This is my first time on the blog, and I'm immensely pleased.
