I have often said that tolerance today is a one-way street on a road called liberalism. Whenever words like “tolerance” “diversity” or now “non-discrimination” pop up look out, someone’s free speech rights are being shelved.

Thankfully, most Americans seem to see through the politically correct fog well enough to identify what is really going on.  In the last three emails, I have mentioned national polls from the Associated Press, the Washington Post and others showing that Americans do not believe in stifling religious expression or beliefs in the face of a pro-homosexual culture and political establishment.
