Seems like most of the conservative blogosphere is at CPAC.  I haven't ever done CPAC.  I'm a loner by nature, the type of rugged individualist that made this country great.  But I digress. This video by Robert Stacy McCain made me feel car sick from the...

Here goes: During the Bush years, Guantanamo was the core symbol of right-wing radicalism and what was back then referred to as the “assault on American values and the shredding...
