McTavish, writing in defense of Ms. Marcotte, says "Liberalism is the institutionalization of decency."
Remarkable.
He also slams Camille Paglia, as several others have done in this thread.
I would suggest that Liberalism is not an algorithm. You can't just type "lesbian and liberal" or "feminist and liberal" into a syllogism called "right thinking liberalism" and be assured that nothing surprising to you may pop up.
Ms. Paglia is one of the most interesting political and cultural commentators I've encountered on the internet. I especially value her ability to surprise me with insights I've never had, which I couldn't have predicted based on an algorithm.
