Why So Many ‘Tolerant’ People Are Actually Intolerant

It’s become common to point out that those who most preach “tolerance” are often themselves highly “intolerant.” But why is that? Only TWO days remain in our spring fundraising campaign. I am so appreciative of those of you who have already donated. Today we remain roughly $10,000 short of the amount needed for Intellectual Takeout to continue growing its influence. HOWEVER, a very generous supporter of ours just offered to match all donations over the next two days up to $5,000! If we can meet that match, we will be able to keep promoting rational discourse informed by the Western Tradition to millions of people each year. [If you have been thinking about donating to us there won’t be a better time than now. Some of you might be able to give $50 or $100; some of you might be able to give $5 or $10. Every dollar helps.](sbn_ep2VN:m:1:1475926456:DE9C0B3A8B425D1A31A57DBA5E0919B2:r) sbn_ep2VN:m:1:1475926456:DE9C0B3A8B425D1A31A57DBA5E0919B2:r [Donate Today](sbn_ep2VN:m:1:1475926456:DE9C0B3A8B425D1A31A57DBA5E0919B2:r) Sincerely, Devin C.
