How noble! Alceste, who probably doesn't read 10% of the comments written here by known right of center posters, but down votes them just because of who has written them, has come to Tabitha's defense in advance of any commentary, negative or positive. 

The left must really believe it is under attack if it feels the need to circle the wagons before the aggressors appear. A bit of paranoia perhaps, or maybe they are seeing how poorly their recently elected demagogue has been performing and are girding their loins in preparation of the coming demise of their way of thinking in the left. 

Yes Alceste, it's a great column, except for the fact that it was rather poorly written, hard to follow, sophomoric at best, and not worthy of publication in a national newspaper, except perhaps in the comics section, which I do not believe has been a feature of the G & M for a long time, if ever. 

Your dedication to the cause is nonetheless admirable, but your ideological demise is impending.
