and is glad to be on "the right side of history".

Um, do you knoow something we don't george? How can you tell if your beliefs are the "right side of history" before the history is even known??

If anyone needed evidence that liberals are as arrogant as conservatives, this should be it.

My God, the complete lack of humility on display when it comes to political discourse is truly breathtaking. EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, knows the answers.

I really don't see what he has done wrong reading that article. It has to do with his reaction to being called a traitor by some people on account for him speaking out about things he feels the government is doing wrong. I don't know what all those things are with which he disagrees (the war being a mistake was mentioned, but hardly a radical view in America but a common one whether one agrees with it or not). Even the founders of the nation got such accusations hurled at them by loyalists. It seems quite American--and even argued to be a duty by many Americans including the founders--to speak out about whatever you feel the goverment may be doing wrong. In fact, that is why the nation's founders put the right to petition and redress in the constitution along with freedom of speech and the press.
