Sullum writes leftist crap. Period. Dissecting his wrongful “assumptions” that he make as “facts” would take all night. I’ve got more important things to do, like take a healthy whiz. More satisfying than reading his wet dreams in print.
Sullum cannot be considered leftist in any logical sense of the word.
He is a very consistent libertarian, which means he pisses off conservatives about as much as he does liberals.
