"Sorry, ProSense, but picking a couple of quotes out of the blogosphere doesn't really tell us what 'conservatives' think."

"A couple of quotes out of the blogosphere"?

On his radio show yesterday, right-wing host Michael Savage — who has previously called autism a “phony disease” — claimed that Roberts’ epilepsy is the root cause of his “cognitive dissociation” in the Obamacare ruling:


The criticism caught on in some circles. Wayne Laugesen, the conservative editorial page editor for the Colorado Springs Gazette, linked to Malkin’s post this week in his own piece titled “Obama shrunk aerial firefighting fleet.” A writer with PJ Media mentioned the Gazette opinion in a blog post under the headline “Colorado Burns. Are Obama’s Environmental and Defense Policies to Blame?”


I supposed the "armed uprising" (plucked out of the "blogosphere) in response to the SCOTUS ruling is a sign of sanity?

Hey, you don't have to agree, but I think they're nuts!
