It WAS a nice rant, wasn't it?
Alright, I agree: Cohen's as misguided and knuckleheaded as others have pointed out. However, next time, you should be more specific in your naming of the "small government anti-regulation" crowd. Because my rant still stands, and the majority of us in this 'crowd' are against what he wanted for his or any other special interest or "noble cause."

That is the point. You can't find a more conservative organization than the Regional Airline Association. None are more anti-regulation, anti-tax, anti-labor. Yet thier hand is out for government money for THIER cause. Just like all the rest of them.
What government money do you support? Don't know, maybe free government paid training and weapons for those that join a militia? Maybe training and equipment to arrest anyone that looks "Mexican"? Free government training and equipment so you can arrest anyone who looks "liberal"? Maybe free government paid arms and armor so that you can see the new Batman movie and be a hero? Something! And if not, you are the extreme minority and not at all representative of elected conservatives or the heads of conservative organizations...
