When the self appointed morals police own the White House, you can bet your ass they are interested in my conversation with Aunt Maybell.
When evangelical Christians choose to force their beliefs down our throats via the political process instead of trying to convert us (as per their marching orders from God) - that is to say, no longer our saviours but our would-be oppressors - the only logical response, in my mind, is eternal vigilance and a willingness to defend every inch of our freedom by any means neccessary.
So, no, I don't think the NYT should keep this information from the public eye. When it comes to my government in general, and this government in particular,...the more transparency, the better. And if that means I die a free man at the hands of a terrorist instead of living to a ripe old age in a not-so-free America, well, so much the better.
