Patriots or Politics?

Ever since that fateful night in November 2008, conservatives have come out of the woodwork waving (or wearing) the flag, protesting the Obama administration, and professing their hatred for socialism. But what has gotten these folks so riled up? Obama has promised us an open, transparent administration, and so far has held up his end of the bargain. I’m all for individuals engaging in more political activity than in the past, but I have to ask, where were all these so-called patriots during the previous administration? These patriots were eerily silent while the Bush administration all but eliminated habeas corpus through the Military Commissions Act of 2006, illegally invaded the privacy of American citizens through the PATRIOT Act, and lied about Saddam Hussein’s connection to al Qaeda in order to gain support for invading Iraq, in addition to other criminal acts.

Isn’t it odd that these patriots decide to come out of the woodwork now, as opposed to when we had a president that was actually screwing us over?
