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.
