I don’t think everyone knows what ‘tolerate’ means.

Tolerance is allowing morons to live freely among us. Intolerance is telling me I can’t call a moron, ‘a moron’.

There’s a difference between tolerance and acquiescence. I will tolerate you not knowing what acquiesce means. I acquiesce that many of you won’t bother to look it up.

I’m tolerant of your absurd “tolerance manifesto”. I resist the urge to scrape the idiotic “Coexist” bumper sticker off your car. I say nothing in response to “Mean People Suck,” even though it seems mean and intolerant.

I’m tolerating your perpetual call for diversity, inclusiveness…and tolerance. I’m tolerating your obliviousness to the fact that your philosophy is unlivable. Even you don’t really believe what you’re saying.

You know everybody shouldn’t be tolerated. You know we can’t all coexist. That’s why you don’t tolerate werewolves.

They can’t help who they are. When they tear the living flesh from the bones of fellow humans…you criticize them! I can hear you protesting already.

“It’s not right to eat other people’s flesh!”

That’s YOUR truth. Keep your religion to yourself. Stop forcing wolf-men to behave like you.

You whine, “But I don’t want a werewolf to eat my children!”

So you want werewolves to starve? Wow! That’s incredibly hateful! You think you’re better than werewolves because you don’t kill and eat people? More of YOUR truth.

You’re welcome to it but you need to know it’s arrogant. You’re a bigot!

I will allow you your prejudice because I understand what tolerance means. I hear you say, “John, werewolves aren’t real.”

Well, you hateful bigot, my personal pronouns are, “wolf/wolves” how dare you deny my truth?

Werewolves are definitely real. So are zombies. They are the largest voting block in the United States. Mindless minions choose the leaders of the greatest country on Earth. And I tolerate their choice! But choosing a single leader is intolerant and exclusive.

In a truly tolerant nation, there would be two chairs behind the desk in the Oval Office so that BOTH presidential candidates would be in charge at the same time. But in our exclusive, intolerant system, the losing candidate goes away. They are not tolerated anywhere in the administration.

We have to pick ONE ideology. That ideology is represented in the President. The President does not share my ideology. But I will tolerate the election results.

Did you hear what I said?

I’m tolerating you zombies. I will not, however, acquiesce to your philosophy.

You selfish, godless, baby murderers are wrecking the country. And if you object to all the “mean spirited name calling,” better hope you never encounter a werewolf.

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,

along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;

I will turn the darkness into light before them

and make the rough places smooth.

These are the things I will do;

I will not forsake them.

But those who trust in idols,

who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’

will be turned back in utter shame.

Isaiah 42:16
