I'm not planning on joining any political party, but I find this to be an interesting topic nonetheless. Are Republicans or Democrats more tolerant of views that differ from their party lines? For example, I am 100% pro-life. On the other hand, I support open borders and multiculturalism. Since those are divisive issues, would I be more likely to be accepted if I spoke at a rally of Democrats or a rally or Republicans? What are your experiences? Since I doubt that many people support a party line entirely, I would guess that everyone has some experiences to relate.

Tolerance of opposing views is not a partisan issue. It's an individual thing.

Have you known Democrats to be intolerant towards you if took a conservative stance?

A lot of conservatives feel that liberals are intolerant of intolerance when it really comes down to it. But that is ideology, not partisanship, and I think that is a stupid accusation. But I'm tolerant of it. It does make sense in a certain weird kind of way.
I have met many intolerant Democrats. The things they are intolerant over tend to be either fiscally conservative views or socially liberal views or occasionally any non-isolationist views. Typically the people I've met like this are from blue collar backgrounds, the primary base of the Crats (and no, I'm not saying all blue collars are like this or even most- but most who I've met like this are blue collars). Tendency to be most intolerant of free trade agreements, anti-union legislature (if they are union), affirmative action, gay rights, multiculturalism, people on welfare, anything that benefits business over workers... But note that they are Democrats. It's partially an emotional attachment and partially that the issues that affect their jobs most trump all others. Many Democrats I've met are both more socially conservative and more angry toward welfare than a lot of Pubs... and very set in their ways.
And college liberals tend to be intolerant of conservative views as a knee-jerk reaction. That's because they're still adolescents mentally and most are really Republicans deep down as will be revealed in a couple more years.
But Pubs are pretty (*)(*)(*)(*) intolerant too.
And isn't everyone to a certain extent? Isn't there some issue that you just will not compromise on (yes, you already said so)?
The only place I really draw the line are with people who are so intolerant of other views that they wish to destroy the views or persecute the people who hold them. Generally people this bad are boogeymen exaggerated by each side in order to call others to action.

This is the perfect quote to describe the problem I have with intolerance:

"What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents." Robert Kennedy

Don't you think Robert, God rest his soul, was the kettle calling the pot black?
What most people think of as extreme is nothing more than people fighting for their own beliefs. Liberals need to be more tolerant of religion, conservatism, and opposing opinions.
There is an all out war on conservatives by the liberals. They need not be extreme, they just need to differ in an opinion.
I love discussing with my liberal friends and my conservative friends who I feel cannot seem to reach a balance. As I have already said, you need both the right wing and the left wing for the plane to fly straight.

What are you trying to say, ThereseM?

Intolerance is a hallmark of any extreme. Political, social, religious , racial intolerance exists and is practiced and expounded by the extremist from any cause, party, class, or social group. Marxists do not tolerate any challenging viewpoint to their cause, in fact they murdered people to that. Nazis where not exactly the 'let's sit down a talk about your views' either. More like 'you vill march to the ze gas chamber".......

The neocons and religiocrats who run the Republican Party these days are no more tolerant then the Lefto- wacko-doos who ran the Demoncrats in the seventies.

I wonder which party is currently more extreme, not in the sense of ideological extremism, but in the sense of being intolerant of views that differ from their party line. Would a person with unorthodox views be more likely to receive a cold reception from a gathering of Republicans or a gathering of Democrats?

..You seem to be saying that there are no "religious liberals"..If you feel that Liberals are not tolerant of religion (as an example) then you are saying only conservatives are religious.
