“It’s one thing for a nobody-former-Dem-former-feminist-blogger like me to say this sort of stuff; for a mainstream journalist writing in the Washington Post, a defense of Tim Tebow and a pro-life ad during Super Bowl time is truly noteworthy.
This is dynamic truth-speaking to a stagnant and hypocritical establishment. This is someone who claims to be liberal actually writing like a liberal -as liberalism used to be defined; it is someone secure enough in her own abilities to reason that she is not afraid to allow others their right to their own opinion.
This is someone who is drawing a line in the sand and saying, “that’s enough, what is wrong with you people; do you even know what freedom is, or how un-free you have made yourselves and your little worlds?”
I have to agree with Dean, Sally Jenkins does an excellent job of being what a liberal journalist should be. The MSM would be much better off if all the liberals on their staff were as open and honest about their biases and as polite in disagreeing with someone who doesn’t share the views as Ms. Jenkins is in discussing the Tebows.
