Difficult question. I believe myself to be very tolerant. With some huge exceptions: bigots, pedophiles, and hypocrites. Other than that, I can tolerate anyone or just about anything.

"Without tolerating our differences, how can we stand united?"

If not everyone can respect our Constitution, there is no point in standing together.

"Why can’t you tolerate other peoples differences?"

Because I am intolerant when it comes to people who would take away my freedoms.

As long as people fall for the Super Parties "evil other party" propaganda and blame games they keep us fighting each other which distracts us from seeing what they do for their own and their corporate donors interest and against our interests.

Until we start holding our representatives responsible for what they do instead of looking to find fault with the other party we are urged to have intolerance and political blindness.

I am a Christian and the Bible tells me I must believe and live a certain way. God’s way. There are lots of differences between us that should be tolerated. Everyone has different likes and tastes. But some differences cannot be tolerated according to God and therefore we must separate ourselves from these issues. I can’t tolerate homosexuality, abortion and the way the country has thrown God out of everything in America. There is a wide gap between tolerating and standing with. I won’t stand with people who go against God’s principles no matter how unpopular they may be. Politically correct means nothing to me. A lot of different issues and people stand behind that term. God has made it pretty simple. You either accept Him, repent and live by his Word and live forever in heaven or you deny him, live rebellious, unrepenting lives and burn in hell for e-t-e-r-n-i-t-y! That is why some things can’t be tolerated. They contribute to the decay of our society. Look at our society and the proof is in the pudding. I will not stand united with man against God to fall into hell. But we are also to hate no man. We are to hate their sin. Praying for all you unsaved.

Is "stand united" the new code for "shut up and let the government do whatever it wants to"?

I’m okay with people being "different," and having different points of view. I’m not okay when "tolerance" is code for "supporting things I do not agree with."

Tolerate does not mean embrace. A population as large as the United States’ will always have sub-groups with differing values. Tolerance means I do not physically attack someone else because they have different values than I do. It does not mean I have to agree with any other group or their values.

because we’re so much used to our own ways that it’s difficult for us to accept other people’s beliefs…we tend to stick to our views and become judgemental…

Because other people suck!
no really I think that is why people hate one another, people who are different are scary and those with a low IQ or those with little education can help but hate what they fear.

It’s not about enforcing unity, my friend; otherwise it would fracture just as quickly.

We are not yet ready to accept unity; so far all we know is how to cajole people into tolerating differences and accepting them insofar as they can still criticize. Both sides, liberal and conservative, practice levels of acceptance and tolerance, but are not yet ready (or willing) to celebrate those differences.

Only when society can accept difference will we truly have unity.
