Another One Makes the Point

Coming after my post Saturday on the Blankenhorn/Rauch debacle at NYT, Andrew Sullivan has this to say about the whole "religious freedom" mantra:

What level of paranoia and ignorance would lead people to believe that the government could force churches to perform marriages they disapprove of? I guess the kind of paranoia and ignorance advanced by the GOP base.

So Blankenhorn and Rauch are advancing ignorance and paranoia as a "compromise" position.

And this is news exactly how?
