I have detected a disturbing trend in the tenor of the debate now coming from the left.
Anything that is remotely critical of our president or the Democrats in Congress is now being characterized as "hate speech." Now that the liberals have taken over Washington, it seems that criticizing massive bailouts and so-called stimulus packages to the tune of trillions of dollars we don't have is suddenly repugnant if not downright unpatriotic.

That's an emotional response to a problem that requires logic and common sense to solve. It's easy to throw money at a problem in a fit of misguided compassion, but throwing money around is exactly how we got here.
So those of us who criticize the policies of this administration are systematically targeted for destruction. What's so disturbing about this trend is the damage it does to our fundamental right to freedom of speech, to freedom of the press, to the free exchange of ideas.
