Heh. Indeed.

Shorter Kos:

Conservatives = whiny-ass tittie babies.

These blowhards pretend they are macho even as they piddle on themselves in abject terror from every "boo!" that comes out of Osama Bin Laden's mouth. They like to speak about how tough they are, even though they send others to fight their battles and couldn't last a day in places like Iraq, or Sudan, or the El Salvador of my youth, or any other war-torn nation.

Meanwhile one of his conservative commenters has some trouble with the Left citing Patrick Henry:

As for Patrick Henry, I don't think most of you would have liked him. "Give me liberty or give me death". Very noble. He would have fought valiantly against the strong federal government that has developed after the Civil War.

Yeah, he might even have opposed a massive federal bureaucracy that seems to be nothing more than a home for corruption, and sucks down federal tax dollars while leaving people and businesses to their own devices.* He probably would have opposed an imperial presidency and seizure of power based on "national emergency". He probably would object to a government that spied on its own citizens, that treated dissent as treason and willfully violated habeas corpus, in addition to numerous other civil rights. In short, he'd be a REAL libertarian, instead of a fakey conservotarian who wouldn't see anything wrong with OTHER people's rights being violated, as long as HIS guns & pot were left alone.
