Couldn’t say it better myself

From the folks over at National Review Online (NRO):

RE: "Let us not see this state, which first established constitutional democracy, become the first to abandon it." [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

My sources on the ground in Boston yesterday [11/19] tell me that during the smaller-showing gay-marriage supporters counterprotesting the marriage-protection rally Sunday were booing during the Pledge of Allegiance and God Bless America.

Tolerance is not a two-way street, is it?

More of the culture wars – and it is often a vocal one way street. While we have all seen the crowds that have gathered to demonstrate over a single issue screaming at each other, this is a little different. While I will grant that Marriage Protection group may well have been singing and saying the Pledge of Allegiance in a political way, it can and should be taken as another.

We are in a culture war – traditionalist vs those that wish to have no bounds at all. The singing and stating of the Pledge should be seen as trying to re-affirm, in a non-political way, those values that have served well.

It is the Tolerance deal that does have me cocking my head to the side every time I hear it from those on the Left: they have tolerance for other beliefs except when just seems to happen to be the one that I, a conservative, believe in.

When is the Left going to understand that we do understand that they have obsconded with that definition as well…..
