FREE SPEECH FOR ME...
You know, I have to admit they surprised me: I thought at least some conservative would step up and give lip service to the rights of the Harvard Black Mass celebrants to exercise their freedom of worship in the setting of their choice, and thus show, after weeks of blubbering over Brendan Eich and Donald Sterling, that they really, really are in favor of expansive Constitutional rights for people other than themselves and affiliated racists and gay-haters.
These people are full of shit.
My favorite is Da Tech Guy, who last month bewailed the violation of Eich's Constitutional right to be CEO of Mozilla without the support of his board of directors ("the removal of Mr. Eich was done without threats of violence, but rest assured those days are not far away... If I was a young ambitious lawyer looking for a big payday and publicity I’d find a few Christians in companies like this willing to sue for the creation of a 'hostile work environment'"), but is now delighted that the Black Mass was chased off-campus by Catholics. Best part:
UPDATE. Professor Bainbridge steps up.

A postscript: As we drove to my car at Alewife Station [Mary Ann Harold] related that as she sat down in the then empty church she saw an apparition of the head of Satan appear over and to the left of the altar over the church. The head was disfigured and was screaming in pain and anger.
Given the results of the night, that was completely understandable.Maybe these are the victories they will celebrate now that they can't win elections. (If you hear of any contrarian conservatives sticking up for the Satanists, please let me know in comments.)
UPDATE. Professor Bainbridge steps up.
