You don't understand what I mean. Tolerance means tat even if you disagree with me, you  see me as a fellow conservative.  You say you are a Conservative. I say I am a Conservative. We disagree on issues. What gives you the right to say that you are a conservative, but I'm not? I could just as easily say YOU are not a conservative. If Conservatism is subjective, then why even use the word? There are different types of Conservatism( NeoCons, PaleoCons, Conservative Libertarians and so on)

Tolerance decidedly does not mean that.  "Tolerance" means putting up with someone you disagree with, not accepting them wholeheartedly.  Just because you say you're a conservative and anyone who disagrees with you isn't doesn't make you right, and certainly doesn't make you more tolerable than you would otherwise be.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance.

What kind of a question is that? 

Where did I call any of those people on your list names like the Left does???????

Methinks you may have a predetermined animus to fire at anyone who doesn't agree with you.  Not a great way to win influence or persuade anyone to your points.

Not his fault.  He's just intolerant.
