The quality of hypocrisy

Democrats suffer from projection. Those now talking about secession and leaving the country are the same ones who demanded freedom of speech in the 1960s but when they got authority proceeded to deny it to students and faculty under their thumb.

The Republicans took the position that all those protestors in New York equating Bush with Hitler were exercising their rights, at least until they became violent.

Who would you trust to protect your rights? The left has a ratchetting effect, which is like a slippery slope except that you can never go back up if you regain your footing.
