This made me laugh:

Overheard at #CPAC2015 Son: “Dad, I don’t see any Jeb Bush t-shirts.” Dad: “Nope, son, you sure don’t.”

If you think about it…wearing the American Flag as a pair of pants is hardly patriotic. It’s disrespectful. Patriotism takes a bit more than that. As for calling these folks “hawks”…come on. Just how hawkish is it to sit safely at home and call for a war somewhere else that someone else will have to fight? Hawk comes from the bird…which is a tough son of a gun and does all its own hawking.

I get the impression that, in some corner of their cold, shrunken hearts, these freaks feel that they missed out on all the fun of the free loving, dope smoking, flag burning, bra burning, hitch hiking, soldier spitting, mind blowing, space trucking, carefree sixties, and they feel this is their chance to, just once, be naughty.

@NRO @RealBenCarson takes a #CPACSelfie with William F. Buckley Jr. #CPAC2015

Kinda funny to see this considering how Buckley fundamentally split with the very magazine he founded.

I’d insist everyone leave by the side exit after attending this insane confab. Something special awaits them.

Mandatory Cootie Control. Just tell them its in the Constitution.

Like fucking CosPlay for rednecks.

“praises Jordan’s King Abdullah for executing ISIS prisoners”

Really? Summary execution of POWs is praise-worthy and doesn’t somehow violate everything Amurika supposedly stands for?

What’s the old saying? “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel”.

That’s the type of ‘patriotism’ the people that wear items like that are engaging in.

Seeing that we have people like Ben Carson who have argued that the US should never be held to task if our troops committed war crimes, is this much of a surprise?

Of course not. I was just pointing out the issue. War crimes and crimes against humanity are all the rage now.

You know…I sometimes wonder what could’ve possibly given them all the idea that those things go unpunished…

White House to Chris Christie, “You’ll never sit behind the desk in the Oval Office.”

And also how he denounced the John Birch Society as a bunch of paranoid kooks.
