By John K Roberts

You know you're old when the term "Traitor" didn't mean Republicans that voted to raise the debt ceiling, voted for Obama Care, and/or voted to keep the government running.

You know you are old when the word "Traitor" was not a pejorative for a Republican that voted their conscience instead of the party line.

You know you're old when "Patriot" described someone that served in the Armed Forces and not to describe a flag wrapped Tea Republicans that once attended a "Tea Rally In The Alley," with a loaded AKR.

You know you're old when "McCarthyism" was something politicians didn't want to be called and not used as a Tea Re-Puritans Merit Badge.
