Tabitha has already hit this, but I want to come back to one point. I am referring to the insipid bit of bra burning in the pages of the New York Times lamenting the rise of Sarah Palin. There is one key bit of it worth noting: [The left has] done nothing to stop a[ ] … socialist-bashing Tea Party enthusiast Got that? They are | Read More »
