269. Well, buddy, maybe I'm preaching to the freedom and individual
rights crowd. Probably a couple of folks around that don't think it is really neat to force people to "volunteer" for things.

Compulsory volunteerism is a concept fully worthy of Orwell.

So is making language verboten. If I think Kerry is a Yankee elitist is it your position that I should be gagged, and denied the freedom to say just that? How about dilletante (which I probably misspelled) or Washington insider or any number of other things.

Are we supposed to now anoint the feet of our savior because he has managed to win most of the votes in the Democratic primary?

Shall we cast out those who do not sing the praises of the chosen one?

Makes me wonder who actually does resemble Tom Delay around here.
