    Why is there any more to it than that?
    Legally, sure.

    Unfortantely, social oppression can be a bigger threath to liberty than government oppression.

    I'm not seeing it. The secondary boycotts against Limbaugh have completely failed in their intended purpose.

    Does anyone remember when the Walk for The Cure people (a good cause, yes) said they were severing ties with Planned Parenthood (a good cause, yes?)

    All the half-wit, party-line froo froo liberals I knew exploded their heads thinking about this one. The really smart ones just kept supporting both, much to the chagrin of the abortioners who somehow decided that abortion was more important than cancer, and could not comprehend that someone would willingly participate in a cancer walk organized by someone who didn't think abortion was teh bombz. Then, ya know, the whole thing died down and everyone went back to smoking pot and living in denial.
