While neither party coalition is perfect in tamping down idiocy, the rise of virile, anti-free speech activity in the wake of Prop 8 is a trend crying out for a Sister Souljah moment from the someone - or some entity - prominent on the left. The alternative is not very appealing. Posted by Eric Earling at February 08, 2009 12:50 PM | ...
