Liberally intolerant

Statistically proven[*1] , as noted by Syracuse University professor Arthur Brooks in the Wall Street Journal:

In the end, we have to face the fact that political intolerance in America -- ugly and unfortunate on either side of the political aisle -- is to be found more on the left than it is on the right. This may not square with the moral vanity of progressive political stereotypes, but it's true.

Mr. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Public Affairs and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, is the author of the forthcoming book "Gross National Happiness."

Here's the source site, American National Election Studies[*2] --a joint venture of the University of Michigan and Stanford, neither noted as rabidly right-wing entities.

It's really not too late for those of you on the left to take a step back, a deep breath, stop the shouting matches, and try to re-engage your fellow citizens who disagree with you.
