    Dressing up in a “patriot” costume does not a patriot make. What I find ironic is these self declared patriots weren’t worried about freedoms when Bush was illegally wiretapping American citizens, or when American citizens were thrown in jails without the benefit of legal counsel or even being charged with any crime.
