So it's OK for you to be a conservative and spew anti-government diatribes. Then it's intelligent debate. If I am a conservative challenging your views then it's right-wing hyperbole. Got it.

Pax do know. Show ID. Take your shoes off if asked to do so. Not a secret guideline by any means. A 3 year old who's flown a few times knows this.

Maybe not in this particular thread but the term fascist pig has been used in this forum with regards to government employees with no accusation of hyperbole.
