By your logic strong feelings General Washington should have drawn and quartered General Lee after securing a Gentleman's release of Lee after his capture by the British in 1776. Lee was pushing for Washington's discharge on account of incompetence.

However MANY self-described patriotic conservatives of today are not patriots, not gentlemen, not committed to the cause of Liberty -- rather they desire a forced order above all, a tryrant's order to which Liberty is a petty sacrifice -- making them the same as the Tories in those years up to and during the Revolution.

Many such a "conservative" TORY has gathered and been empowered here recently on FR, and they have forgotten or are in fear of the open ears and open heart of a true Patriot. Rather, like tory dogs in a pack, they hound any not barking their tune. Dogs, I say, because men would not act so.

Real patriots don't sell out their country---perhaps you are operating under another definition.
