It's time to shame the idiots out of the process of political debate. Many have predicted that America's spirit of egalitarianism would eventually do us in. H. L. Mencken once predicted that our system would one day ensure that a clinical idiot would occupy the Oval Office and he was dead on. The "two sides to every story" bullshit that was drummed into our heads as children must end, at least in the case where hysteria, racism and flat out superstition are given equal time with truth and plausibility. No more intelligent design over Evolution. No more lies about war. No more portrayals of historical innacuracies as a subject for debate. It's high time to kick liars, thieves and morons out of the public square, you can do it with facts not suppression.
