Americans too often teach their children to despise those who hold unpopular opinions. We teach them to regard as traitors, and hold in aversion and contempt, such as do not shout with the crowd, and so here in our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place - the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else's keeping.... — Mark Twain the rest (great post): http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/ritual-defamation-part-xxiv-liberals.html

2. I like: "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." |

3. I'd say that Modern GOPism puts that theory to rest. |

There's so much vice, that the virtues have been discarded entirely due to lack of space.
