Dear Rick Perry,
You can't use the language of tolerance to justify intolerance, nor can you use the language of open-mindedness to justify closed-minded beliefs, nor can you use the language of love to justify hate. Being intolerant of intolerance does not make one intolerant, being closed to closed-mindedness does not make one closed-minded, and being hateful of hate does not make one a hater.
I don't think you even deserve the time or energy it takes for me to express my vitriol against you anymore, but I'm writing this to inform you that I'm officially re-claiming the word "intolerant." Yeah, you heard me. I'm taking it back. If you continue to say that I'm "intolerant" of your intolerance of homosexuals, then I will say that you are intolerant of my intolerance of your intolerance of homosexuals. And you know what? Three negatives makes a negative, but two negatives makes a positive. I win.
