Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant; then it tries to silence good
Eric Hoffer
All mass movements generate in their adherents a readiness to die and a proclivity for united action; all of them, irrespective of the doctrine they preach and the program they project, breed fanaticism, enthusiasm, fervent hope, hatred and intolerance; all of them are capable of releasing a powerful flow of activity in certain departments of life; all of them demand blind faith and single-hearted allegiance.
Thomas Mann
Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.
Ogden Nash
I often wonder which is mine:
Tolerance, or a rubber spine?
Geert Wilder
Multiculturalism made us tolerate the intolerant, and now intolerance is annihilating tolerance.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
God, give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn
His treacherous flatteries without winking!
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
Groucho Marx
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.
Thanks for that.
What is most disturbing is that they believe they’re intellectually superior. Anyone that doesn’t agree with them is “an idiot”. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen the obviousness of their underlying thought, “if you just knew what I know then you’d agree with me”. It is so arrogant. It doesn’t even dawn on them that the same could be said in reverse. As Reagan said, they know so much that just isn’t so.
