Last year if you said Cheney was a jerk because of the Patriot Act you would of been called a troll, a DUmmy, or whatever else.

Now if you call Cheney a jerk because of the Patriot Act your a patriot.

LOL

Nothing makes me happier than to see people start to realize that liberalism and statism is the enemy even when it comes wrapped in a Republican package. People are waking up to the fact that "compassionate conservatism" was just good old fashioned cronyism and statism sugar-coated with some patriotic rhetoric.

Rand Paul and his ilk have a lot of faults, but he represents the grassroots Republicans that reject the faux conservatism of the Cheneys, Bushes, and Roves.
