This is why I roll my eyes when my comrades complain about the New McCarthyism. If the most rabid of the right wingers can only turn out a dozen people for a counter-protest, then there is plenty of room for dissent in this country.
I don't understand why my father is conservative either, since he leans libertarian on many issues. I think that conservatism for average guys like my father is mostly about hating the Clintons and the Democrats. And my father hated George Bush, Sr.!
