Good old fashion flame war, First off I would not describe myself as a
"Conservative" or a "Liberal", I am not a Republican or a Democrate and I
do not want to speak for Dustin but I have spent many an hour talking to
Dustin.

When he used the work "bigoted" he was not talking about race. Check the
definition of the word. Reread what he said, he is talking
about accepting that other people's opinions can be valid even if you do
not agree with them.

Almost by definition anyone who claims to be a "Conservative" or a
"Liberal" is bigoted. But that is the political system that has evolved in
this country where is only two options and people follow one of those two
"Parties" without actually thinking. Then again thinking is hard.
