Terrorized by "Tolerance"

Lately, accusations of "intolerance" have chilled free speech. Armed with
baseless charges of "racism", "anti-Semitism" and "homophobia", the
enforcers of "tolerance" intimidate civic and religious leaders, and the
rest of us too, who tremble lest we violate its dictates.

But at Toward Tradition, a national coalition of Jews and Christians, we've
taken a look at the Torah and found it isn't particularly "tolerant" ...

In 2001, tolerance means you can't say anything is "right" or "wrong"
anymore ... So the enforcers support a drift to moral relativism and
general chaos. This drift includes:

. Increasingly pornographic entertainment:

.Assaults on the dignity of human life, and the equation of humans with
animals:

Hostility to police officers and soldiers:

Suburban public schools transformed into political-indoctrination centers,
and urban schools into violent, education-free zones:

A massive state bureaucracy hostile to faith, in fact all authority except
state authority:

These developments are especially ominous for Jews. A coarsened public
life undercuts respect for all moral values, including respect for
minorities. An ever-expanding government is more likely than a limited one
to grow tyrannical. A demeaned police force and military can guarantee
neither our safety nor our freedom, including freedom of religion and
continued national prosperity including Jewish prosperity, requires a
strong free market. [Something a bit askew here...]

Toward Tradition calls on all Americans of good will to overturn the idol
of "tolerance" and rally to the defense of our nation's core values:
Biblical morality, Constitutional liberty, patriotism and prosperity. For
this, moral cowards among the cultural elite may call us "intolerant". Let
them. We will no longer be terrorized by tolerance.
