Maybe the crazies aren't taking over

Perhaps I underestimated my fellow citizens last week. It appears that several of us are ready for America to reclaim the moral high ground, as witnessed in these letters to the editor regarding Mark Davis' pro-torture column.

All good thoughts; I especially like this one:

Mark Davis deserves credit for doing something that no other conservatives have dared to do – admit that they are pro-torture. He throws in the anecdotal ticking time bomb scenario as a rationalization, but that does little more than complete his transition to moral relativism.

When did the GOP become the party of people so afraid of everything that they are willing to sell out our beloved American way of life?
