Webster's EVERYTHING IN MODERATION person like Voor is used in a missive about tolerance, it is defines bigotry as, "obstinate and unreasoning attachment to laughable. I thought the idea was to prove your point, not one's own belief and opinions with intolerance and lack of toundermine it. Go figure. Where does this bigotry come from. respect of beliefs opposed to them." Keeping this in mind, anyway? Simply put, it is a result of ignorance and fear of the which word would best define Brynner Yee' s editorial in the unknown. Republicans cringe at the thought of being "indoc August 25 edition of The Central Florida Future?

After reading that editorial, I felt that Mr. Yee is the one debate program r;rossfire.

That would be Rush Limbaugh, of bigoted group to exist in our society today. Of course, these straight children. This logic-stinks worse than my shoes after course. From making fun of the homeless to ridiculing women, people are diehard Republicans. They make no pretense of going a whole day without wearing socks. Old "Dittohead" is perhaps the ultimate example of what tolerating views and beliefs opposed to their own. Much As stated in Yee's article, the Constitution guarantees the being Republican is all about. Rush shows no tolerance for the like the Republican Party, these religious wackos operate right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

They are not asking personal attacks on Hillary Clinton. The first lady is an they might be wrong. Like the GOP, they force ideals upon for special rights. That's just a catch phrase invented to anger independent and intelligent woman of the '90s, and that scares the minds and souls of people through a three-pronged the Republican masses. All they want is to be guaranteed the Republicans to death. (Just for the record, I am not a Democrat attack on the mind (indoctrination), the conscience (court same rights as everyone else.
