So, in conclusion:

Tolerance = Immorality
Intolerance = Morality

How strange. However, this does explain why Southerners love the Bible so much.

Tolerance = Nothing
Intolerance = Something

You aren't from Virginia, so there's no need for one.

Black lynching and Christian executions are both something. I don't know what kind of dictionary you're into, but the general consensus is that 'something' is not inherently good.

Tolerance, on the other hand, does not exist as a political ideology, as complete adherence to it would imply tolerance of intolerance. If you are tolerant of intolerance, you are not actually tolerant. On the other hand, if you're intolerant of intolerance, it's not universally true to say that you are tolerant either—and so the adjective 'tolerant' applies no more to you than to any other person, all of whom tolerate some things and don't tolerate others.

The ideology of tolerance is, essentially, a rule against rules.

It's not really useful to be intolerant of anything, unless you actually care about something. And there's very little more subjective than caring.

What's useful for one thing is not useful for another. It all comes down to subjective preference.

By the way, I'm no Booth fan. I am a fan of the Virginia state motto, attributed to Brutus at the assassination of Julius Caesar. There is considerable doubt as to whether or not John Wilkes Booth ever uttered the phrase at the time of Lincoln's assassination.

I don't get it. What does warm milk have to do with anything?

I wouldn't say Adam Griffin was trying to call himself stupid, he was just admitting he has problems dealing with abstract concepts.
