Let’s get something straight – I don’t have to be tolerant of you
January 20, 2007 by William K. Wolfrum
It has become the great weapon of the right, the Neo-con, and the generally unintelligent, that every time someone strikes back at their attack on human decency, they claim intolerance. The idea being that if they are intolerant on almost all issues, the opposition should be tolerant of all issues.
Fuck them. Doesn’t work that way.
Accuse me of being intolerant all you like, it makes no difference to me. The warmongers and curmudgeons have no fear of me creating laws to shut them up. That’s their domain. But I have no tolerance for them on an intellectual basis, and feel they deserve to be ignored. And many others feel the same. We don’t need laws or bands of thugs to shut them up.
Our lack of lenience over their lack of humanity will do the job. Let them strive to take the world back to the Middle Ages. In the end, our intolerance and evolution won’t be denied.

Cathy Young was writing specifically about people that are attempting to de-politicize the global warming debate.
I wasn’t trying to use the link to define someone “politicizing global warming. I just wanted a different voice ON global warming being politicized to point to. I understand the confusion, however.
