    Studies show that people who invoke “free speech” arguements to defend racist speech don’t do it on priniciple…they do it based on ideology. In other words, they aren’t heroic defenders of the constitution – they are racist themselves.

    Nope. No surprise.

    It’s jaw-dropping how quickly principle disappears. All the furor over Obama’s executive orders, and golfing, and all that. Republican presidents exceeded his totals on both accounts, and nobody cares.

    It’s never principle.
