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:
post #112: Dick Cheney: Rand Paul is wrong on government surveillance
That is the laugh I still feel, no one ask me why? Now I have had my fun and solicited the responses I expected.
I am as conservative as they come. I come from a long line of military folks, spent years in the Navy myself. I just happen to casually remark that I would rather support Cheney than Rand Paul and all hell breaks loose.
And the comments still keep coming ... got to be a best for something said as a causal aside.
