<going to go back to the old ways of tolerating their bad behavior.>

How long it will be before death squads are formed, do you suppose? What a really strange thing to say. FAIR had an ad in New Republic countering the claims of liberal media bias. CNN had 7% more conservative than liberals. Fox had something like 15:1! Where is all this liberal criticism gone? Silenced effectively for "National Security Reasons?" no doubt. Can't have any "traitors" speaking out. Hell, people on SI are supposedly the upper 1% of the world. They don't want to burn witches, but they don't mind hunting them down and sending them out of town on a rail, tar and feathered.

Yeah, well, it's not exactly news that there are a lot of right wing wackos hanging out on SI. Which of the freedoms we allegedly hold dear they are willing to tolerate is quite a mystery. These days, I mostly prefer to leave them rant among themselves.

Oh boy!
We get to live in a police state that does not tolerate free speech? How exciting. We'll have to change all those lovely patriotic songs to take out the word "free"- I guess we can leave God in, though.
