Apostates punished

Mike Masterson’s Dec. 4 column on the evils of bullying, shunning, and punishing those who don’t think or speak like the rest of us was spot-on. Having the freedom to think on our own, draw our own conclusions and act on them is a core right our Constitution guarantees.

I hope Mike has sent a copy of this column to the Republican leadership in Washington, considering their treatment of U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.
