Andy, Meet Light. See the Light

Andrew Sullivan waxes eloquently on Bush’s blatant pander to ignorance, fear, and prejudice:

The president launched a war today against the civil rights of gay citizens and their families. And just as importantly, he launched a war to defile the most sacred document in the land. … Not since the horrifying legacy of Constitutional racial discrimination in this country has such a goal been even thought of, let alone pursued. Those of us who supported this president in 2000, who have backed him whole-heartedly during the war, who have endured scorn from our peers as a result, who trusted that this president was indeed a uniter rather than a divider, now know the truth.

Now, if Andy could manage to start caring when it’s other people’s rights and interests being harmed by conservatives…
