We need to label Intolerance as Intolerance. While we're at it let's rehabilitate the Liberal brand-name. Absolutely on target.

When they talk about the threat we pose at the polls, we're dismissed as "irrelevant," but as soon as the election is over, we're ruining absolutely everything about America. Aren't they supposed to be all-powerful or something? When the people have given them such a marginal mandate, they shouldn't be surprised that they have trouble overpowering all opposition and governing from the right. Traditionally this has been reason for a party to compromise and build bridges. They see only that they aren't getting everything they want. I’ve noticed this among conservative trolls.
