Speech Sense

A Democrat continues to defy his own party:

"Voters want elected officials to give voice to their concerns, not tell them what they should think," Moulton wrote. "Until not so long ago, we were the party of free speech. We welcomed real, rigorous debate when orthodox conservatives in the Republican Party were afraid of change," he argued, citing his party's fight for Obamacare, abortion and same-sex marriage. "In every case, we listened, we built trust, and we welcomed those who disagreed into our expanding tent — the definition of a majority party. Just 12 years ago, we even nominated a Democrat who was against gay marriage for president," he continued. Moulton argued the tide had changed in recent years and his party now seemed opposed to making room for different opinions.

But some are still more equal than others...
