context: My older brother, in spite of many fine qualities, is a real knee-jerk liberal - what I call a "Doonesbury Democrat" since he seems to look at things like that comic strip's author.
At his house I noticed a notepad (like the ones drug reps hand out to doctors) in the kitchen with the following heading on each page:
"Stand with Barack Obama for lasting change -
Silence the GOP lies"
And I just thought, doesn't this putrid sentiment just about sum up the leftist outlook on political discourse? Not "I disagree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it!", but rather "I disagree with what you say and I will use any means at my disposal to silence you!.
So this is where they're coming from at the grass-roots level. It really makes me sick. No room for dissent! Silence the opposition.
If he was a “skilled driver”, he wouldn’t be texting while driving in the first place.

I agree, but “he” did and here we are, now 60 feet from the back of the stopped semi and the foot is just starting to apply firm pressure to the brake pedal.
Brace yourself.
