One of the things I have discovered reading all the comments regarding my response on supporting Cheney ... if I don’t agree with those that support Rand Paul, I’m a liberal. LOL! Got the same response when I refused to support Romney in the last election.
Lessons learned over the years: If I disagree with a black person, I’m a racists, if I disagree with someone on FR, I’m a liberal. Some days no matter what you think, say or do, you can’t win. However, I will continue to speak my mind and, by the way, I’m neither a racists nor a liberal.
And believe me, I have been here long enough not to put too much stock in what those who disagree with me think. Half the fun is reading what folks have to say when I make a comment that goes against the consensus of a thread.
On one hand, perhaps the reaction to your support of Cheney on this issue - equating you to a lib isn't very rational. On the other hand - do you think that the NSA (and other fascist elements of the FdGov), is in any way benevolent, or motivated by national security as envisioned by the constitution?
My post (link below) speaks somewhat to my knowledge and experience:
