Gillespie has published nasty little anti-Catholic pieces under a pseudonym for the satire site suck.com. Like Jonah, he's much a buffoon at times. Jonah, at least, doesn't attack his own heritage, and doesn't make a point of tearing down the religion of others.

Gillespie's world view has little to do with "tolerance" and much more to do with liberation through transgression. Perhaps "liberation" is too strong a word. It's just the throwing off of an heritage. "Tolerance" is a much more complicated concept with many more ironies and pitfalls than you can find in Nick Gillespie's view of the world.

Sure, you got it right. But, who isn't?

No doubt about it. Isn't that true with any writer's presentation of a world view or general topic?
