He wants the _moderateurs jacquebootique_ to silence the infidel who dares question the anti-war, anti-Bush party line.

While I generally subscribe to the anti-war, anti-Bush party line, and suspect that a majority of the board does as well, I don’t think the idea of silencing those who disagree is a particularly popular opinion around here, and apparently **lonesome loser** has a problem with that…
