Is tolerance reserved for those with only one set of beliefs?

Increasingly, in President Barack Obama’s America, that appears to be so.

• Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, invited to be the commencement speaker at Rutgers University, graciously withdrew after two months of protest there over her support of the Iraqi War during the administration of President George W. Bush.

• HGTV pulled the plug on its new reality series “Flip It Forward” earlier this week after it was exposed that twin brother hosts David and Jason Benham supported traditional marriage and life for the unborn.

• Brandeis University withdrew its commencement invitation to Somali writer Hirsi Ali, whose criticisms of radical Islam were said to have violated the school’s “core values.”
