text: Well, some progress here....Now you're attacking Democrats instead of liberals.  The Democratic Party is not monolithic...I think the "Bernie" movement shows that.  The arnarchists are not "registered Democrats."  I find the claim that the Democratic Party is "intolerant" a bit amusing.  The Democratic Party, over my 74 years, has been the Party of tolerance....especially, since the Civil Rights days and the break with "southern democrats".  I readily acknowledge that there is, today, an element of "leftists" who are intolerant of dissenting voices and opinions....however, I contend they're not representative of the entire Party.  Using your analogy of Christians, I would say you have it backward....I favor the open discussion of all issues and feel that is what is in fact representative of liberalism and the "old" values of the Democratic Party.  I confess I have some issues with the new Democratic Party leadership at all levels.  Maybe I'm an "obsolete" Democrat.  Gary Crum
