Why does the Party of Tolerance hate smokers?

You do? I hear it from staunch conservatives. Like that virulent, conservative Christian ASH-hole John Banzhaf. Hell, he hates smokers so much he thinks there should be a law outlawing anyone from hiring them.

By definition that's against liberal beliefs, and is a conservative type view if anything, the people who say that obviously aren't that liberal and use the label because they like the sound of it. its like saying why are all the fat people so thin? , they're not fat people they're thin people even if they label themselves as fat, there wrong.

there's almost no liberals or conservatives, everyone agrees with parts of both, its just a label which apparently means nothing. insult the people not the ideology, unless your actually insulting it for something it says.

They tolerate the things they like and not the things they don't like. Parties of intolerance don't tolerate things they don't like but do the things they like. See the difference? I don't.

In other words they label themselves whatever sounds good to them. They don't give any consideration about what's really true. Most call themselves "liberal" when they are actually socialists or progressives.

True liberalism advocates: individual freedom, weak government, and free markets. Conservatism advocates: moral responsibility, strong government, and protected markets. Progressives advocate: social concern, omniscient government, and controlled markets. Socialism advocates: social responsibility, omnipresent government, and collective markets.

Why wouldn't you be intolerant of things that you disagree with? If you disagree with it, that means you don't like it and therefore, don't tolerate it. I'm just trying to interpret what you wrote.

They are only tolerant of those that believe as they do which is obvious by their actions.

You still don't get it.........They are tolerant of only issues they want US to be tolerant of like illegals,terrorist, child abusers etc.

They don't hate smokers............... As long as the tobacco is green and makes you feel groovy.

@Vinny. Please check the laws in California and New York as a small example.

The democratic party has greatly slid to the right since the 60's. Now even they are enforcing morality, something only the republican party used to do.

Untrue. President Obama smokes. Conservatives are among the most anti-smoking zealots out there.

RELEVENT INQUIRY - Prove your statement.

still waiting...

waiting...yeah thats what I thought, NOTHING.

Edit to Durbin - I dont have to check anything because Im not the one making the accusation. In fact, the burden of proof is the responsibility of the accuser (meaning Relevent, not me) which is also why none of you can provide any proof whatsoever because its an unfounded accusation, as usual.

Edit: 4 hours later and STILL no proof ; )
