Line 8: − − Liberals {{fact}} often incorrectly define tolerance as not saying anything that might offend someone else (especially a minority.) This view is actually contradictory to tolerance, i.e. people should ''tolerate'' the views expressed by others.

'''Tolerance''' refers to the attitude and practice of accepting views that differ from one's own. It is often used in the context of allowing those with minority opinions to express their views, even if they go against the accepted standards established by the majority.

Americans believe in [[free speech]], but to be tolerant you should ''[[Respect|respect]]'' other people's beliefs. You can still disagree with someone's beliefs or practices.
