"The Nanny in Chief", an excellent column by Andrew Sullivan.

One of the reasons I don't like either party is that they lie about what they stand for. If the Republicans were truly in support of individual liberties, they would not be in support of a federal ban on abortion, and they certainly wouldn't be tied to the Religious Right. Conversely, it seems that the Democrats ought to be against abortion, based on their usual beliefs. It's all a bunch of crap on both sides.
