    Speirs sums up exactly who Apple has stepped over the line into treacherous territory. I'm really surprised we haven't seen 10,000 mac/iphone developers echoing Speirs' thoughts.

But how can Democrats learn to see—let alone respect—a moral order they regard as narrow-minded, racist, and dumb?"
