Mark Steyn makes a good point. Tolerance becomes an excuse or rather an evasion for not living up to your own values. If you don't defend your own values, someone else's values will take their place. Nature abhors a vacuum. We may not be living in an Islamified World now but we are well on the way towards it in much of the Western World.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Very true. . .

. . .but then, actually; while we ascribe 'tolerance' as a Lib value; the truth is they have none. Tolerance requires it's own boundary of sorts; the one they are supposedly ignoring. . . Perhaps, what they really exhibit is not tolerance - at least, as we know it. In truth, what we might be observing is just a moral vacancy of Reason.

Without 'discernment'. . .maybe these Libs ARE, the sound of one-hand, clapping. . .if only as an evil twin, might clap that is. . .)

Whatever. . .these people - 'slug-like'; without real 'substance'. . .without moral definition; just might find 'tolerance' as relevant and as useful to them; as eleven fingers, might be to the rest of us.
