American Voters Aren't Hopeless After All

Rasmussen Reports releases the most heartening survey result I’ve seen in a while:

“By an overwhelming 72% to 15% margin, voters believe it is more important to guarantee freedom of speech rather than making sure nothing is done to offend other nations and cultures.”

Of course, I’m very skeptical of the argument that people are pushed to act as we’ve seen around the world because of an “offensive” film.  I believe there are deeper things going on.  Heck, even if the film was a spark, a causal analysis that stops there is like an analysis of the causes of WWI that ends with the shooting of the Archduke.  Of course, the administration has a reason to stick with the ”denigration” story.
